Roy Scouts Hiking From Crown Point to Indianapolis.

Poster Bruce and John Allman, two 18-year-old boys from Crown Point, were in Rensselaer Wednesday afternoon and remained over night. They are members of the Boy Scouts at Crown Point and conceived the idea that It would be great fun to hike to Indianapolis and they started out in fine spirits. They were equipped in the Boy Scout uniform, which closely resembles the U. S. Army uniform. -The boys walked from Crown Point to Shelby the, first day, a distance of 18 miles, and from Shelby th Rensselaer the second day, a distance of about 24 miles. They were footsore and weary upon their arrival here but were still strong of heart and determined to continue their way to the state capital. They jhad no thought of walking back, but expect to return by train after seeing the sights in the big city.
