Remarkable Feat
Of School Boys

Mark Knight and Irving Ferbrache
who started on a 50-odd-mile walk
Monday evening to Collbran on wa
ger of $40 that it could not be done
in the short time of IL hours, re-
turned last evening arter having ac-
complished the feat in IL " hours.
The boys, both of them students in
the high school, after reaching there
at $50 in the morning and having
proof of the walk made, turned right
around and started back, so that
they would not become stiff. They
walked as far back as Palisade, a dis
tance of 80 miles and as their con-
tract called only for the walk there
they came the rest of the way by
stage.
They walked all night Monday
night and did not sleep a wink from
Monday morning until last night
Both of them were at school this
morning apparently none the worse
for their trip. According to their
figures they walked total distance
of II miles in little over 20 hours
which is a remarkable feat.
