Lived by Trapping.

They were discovered when they ap-
peared at a store in Cawker City and
purchased a chicken and some white
bread for Sunday dinner. They re-
fused to answer questions regarding
themselves. but their identity was dis
closed through photographs that had
been sent broadcast throughout the
West. The lads appeared to be in ex-
cellent health.
Immediately after the report was
made by the Cawker City stOrekeeper
to Sheriff Hugh Lorimer Of Topeka.
Robinson and Louis Luthey, left for
Solomon valley, where they attempted
TO persuade the young men to return to
their homes.
Both boys were close followers Of
the adventures Of Daniel Boone and
other famous trappers. Two weeks
before their departure from home they
had purchased trapping outfits and
books on trapping. When they disap-
peared from home they carried small
travelling bags and a minimum amount
of clothing. They dropped out of sight
completely. Every recruiting station
for the army or navy in the United
States was informed as to the identity
Of the lads, but this precaution brought
no results.
Whether it was patriotism In OBJ
serving meatless days. poor hunting, or
hunger for the food of civilization that
caused the journey to Cawkcr City Is
not known. 1t Is sufficient that the
trip disclosed the whereabouts of the
young men and gave their parents an
opportunity to find them.
