Edward Honan, Jr., Traveler, Returns Home on Motorcycle.

Edward Honan, Jr., who has been on a haphazard tour throughout the country for the past few weeks, returned- here yesterday on a twin-cyl-inder Indian motorcycle, which is the gift of his parents, Attorney and Mrs. E. P. Honan. The machine was purchased in St Louis, from where Edward started overland Thursday. Ed was blackened by the sun and besmeared with grime by the long trip. On account of many falls, his trousers consisted mostly of a collection of holes, held together by an occasional thread, but he learned how to ride and “it beats bumming by a good way."
