ONE-LECCED HlkER
STARTS TO SEATTLE.

Although possessed Of only one
foot, John Stringfellow, painter and
paper hanger, is attempting 5000
mile walk from Dayton to Seattle.
Stringfellow camped last night on a
vacant lot at West Sixth and Main
streets.
The hiker would rather brave the
vicissitudes of life on foot behind a
small push cart. earning living by
selling spark plugs and postcards.
than wait in Dayton until his trade
again becomes normal and offers him
a living.
Taking the hike with him is his dog,
Spot. The animal is fond of his mas
ter and whimpers whenever String
fellow is out of sight.
The cart is of the hiker's own de-
sign and is compact and complete
living and camping outfit on rubber
tired wheels. Nothing was forgotten
in making up the list of articles, and
the cart is so arranged in compart-
ments that any article can be found at
once. A tent. folding canvas cot, bed
clothing, extra laundry, a gasoline
stove, a gasoline tank to carry an ex-
ira supply, cooking utensils and food
are among the things carried. A stor-
age battery and electric lights are
part of the outfit.

600, which falls due before May l, and
that for the benefit Of stockholders,
