LONG WALK A SURPRISE.
Three Baltimore Boys Hike" to City
in All-Day Jaunt.

Finding city life during the long school
vacation rather monotonous, three Bal
timore boys yesterday hiked over the
road to this city, expecting they would
be able to see the sights and return by
bedtime. They found the forty-mile walk
longer than they had anticipated and it
became necessary for them to remain
overnight.
The boys are Harry Spurrier, twelve
years old, 1904 Wilkins avenue; Harry
Nftzberg, ten years old. JO7 South Full
ton avenue, and Melville Ogle, thirteen
years old. AL South Fulton avenue.
1t was about o'clock yesterday morn
ing when the boys met near their homes
and one Of them suggested that they
walk to Washington.
Its only forty miles, one of them
said. and We can walk that in few
hours. We can see everything and come
back tonight"
The suggestion was all that was needed
to induce the others to participate in the
hike and off they started. Part of the
trip was made over the road and part
over the railroad ties. the trio reaching
the power house at Benning bridge about
o'clock last night.
How far is Washington" asked one
of the youngsters Of an employee of the
power plant
The tired and hungry trio were soon
after turned over to the police of the
ninth precinct.
IF We had known it was such long
walk" stated one Of the boys. I'VE
wouldn't have come and we would like
to go back home.''
The boys were given a bath and supper
at the house of detention and put to bed
for the night. Their parents were mott
fled and they probably will reach home
this evening.
