Has Record as Traveler.

Sioux Falls, S. D. —The state record as a long-distance traveler while acting as a mail carrier is claimed by J. W. Barnum, a veteran mail carrier, who resides at White Lake. Almost continuously for a period of 24 years he has been a mail carrier in that part of the state and during that period it is estimated he traveled an aggregate of about 200,000 miles, or a distance equal to eight times around the globe.
