From the Lawrence Daily World for June 7, 1910: “Professor Dyche, the state game warden, has moved his household effects and family to Pratt, Kan., where they will make their future home. Lindsay, the 13 year old son, came to the rescue of his father on the matter of transporting two ponies by offering to drive them to their destination. After some hesitation, Mr. Dyche agreed, since Lindsay had secured Charlie Griesa, one of his playmates, to accompany him. So yesterday, the youngsters hitched up the ponies to the run-about, packed up a goodly supply of provisions for a two week trip, and secured the family artillery, namely two revolvers, a shot gun and a rifle. The distance to Pratt is about 300 miles by road and the boys figure that, by taking their time, they can arrive there in two weeks, camping at various places along the road during the night time. It is a great undertaking, especially for such small youngsters, but they’re brave and feel quite secure with their weapons…. Miss Clara Brocker estimated that there were 688 tungsten lights on Massachusetts street and came within two of naming the correct number. She was therefore given the $5 offered by the Street Railway and Light Company.”
