YOUTHFUL ROMANCER

Runs Away from Home in Lafayette on a Bike—Got as Far as Rensselaer. Louis Comboy, the boy who went through Rensselaer recently On a bicycle, and claimed to be enroute from Denver to New Orleans, was recognized in Wolcott last Tuesday as a Lafayette boy who had run away from home to go to Chicago to see the sights. It developed that young C/mboy in his travels had making weird claims as to his destination, he having told here that he had already covered 1,300 miles, with 1,000 more to go. In reality he had probably strayed less than 50 miles from the parental roof. According to the Goodland Herald he was given lodging in Goodland Tuesday night and was taken home to Lafayette Wednesday. Thus- endetih another attempt to conquer Chicago. Tlbe boy’s talents as a romancer, if given encouragement, should develop another fable author that would enhance Indiana’s reputation greatly for producing literary lights extraordinary.
