Akeley Tribune: Former Congress-
man c. b. Buchanan, Of Little Falls
now deputy United States marshal,
was an official visitor in the city,
Tuesday. Mr.. Buchanan stated that
we were passing through one of the
most interesting periods IN the history
of our country. He was not altogether
enthustlc over business prospects for
the future.
With the present general abnormal
condition, cue to readiusting big pro-
blems, he feared an unpleasant climax.
Mr.. Buchanan assured the representa-
tive of the Herald. Tribune that he was
out Of politics 80 far as running for
Office was concerned. He would not
accept the Office of congressman again
under any circumstances. Campaigns
were too strenuous and unpleasant. He
spoke highly Of his fellow townsman
and successor, Congressman G. A.
Lindbergh. although Mr.. Buchanan
does not agree with the congressman
politically. Mr. Buchanan is a most en-
Pertaining talker, appears to be in the

ARCHER's
SCARED ARM
Story Of His Injury Told BY Expert
in Connection With Browns
Mangled "Mitt."

When Jimmy Archer was gradua-
ted from the old Iowa league critics
did not predict that some time he
would become one of the greatest
backstops in the business. He is now
looked upon as one end of the great
est battery in the National league
Brown and Archer In the Sunday
RecordHerald Harold D. Johnson tells
briefly how this battery came by its
scars:
This Is the tale OF mangled mitt,
also SCARED arm, the combination
working in conjunction as part hold
ings Of the Cub machine in a battery
rated by many the greatest In the
National League. The hand gnarled,
crushed and misshapen belongs to
"Three-fingered' Brown. Fans by the
thousands and hundreds of thouands
have gazed upon the salary paw;
thousands have been permitted to
grasp it, for the miner is a bully mix
er, but mighty few folks have scan
ned the scared pegging wing, OF
the cub maskman. Moreover, few OF
Jimmy's most ardent cronies are wise
to the fact that this same arm is a
half inch shorter than his left. All
of which constitutes Jimmy's idea Of
a secret, but now 1t comes out.
Both ends OF the west side battery
are proud of their scars Neither
was disabled while performing his
daily labors out there on the battle.
field. Whence they came on Brown
les hand is the story of a playful
prank committed during the boyhood
days of the Rosedale marvel. While
child in or near Terre Haute he
put his hand in hay cutter and
when he withdrew it the index fing-
or was amputated below the second
joint, the second finger was broken
and the thumb and small finger fright
fully crushed.
Notwithstanding this handicap
Mordecai soon found his groove lead
ing to fame and fortune in the big
league. The story of Browns hand
has been repeated time and again, but
the singular part Of this narrative
