Weary, footsore and penniless,
Sackro Valentine arrived at the police
station Saturday night after a $50
mile walk from st. Paul to this city,
enroute to Coal Valley, where he ex-
poets to go to work In the mines. His
experiences during the past few weeks
would make excellent reading for a
novel
Valentine is a miner and has been
working in British Columbia and AL
berta for number of years past. On
account of the frequent strikes there
he decided to leave and find work in
Illinois. He had about $50 and bought
ticket for st. Paul. On arriving al
that city he put up at a cheap room
ing house. paying rs cents for bed
and during the night he was touched
for every cent he had in the world.
WALKS WHOLE DISTANCE.
With no other alternative, as he hat
no friends or acquaintances In st
Paul, he decided to walk to his des
tination. He stated at the police sta
that it seemed as though he had beer
on the road for months. He had los
all trace of time, and was unable t.
tell just when he started. He had oh
tanned food only when he could pre-
vail upon kind hearted people on hi
line of march, and for days had cate
nothing at all.
Men around the station staked Va
entine to a square meal and gave hir
enough money to take him to Goa
Valley.
