MIGHT HAVE BEEN A
TRAMP PRINTER BUT
Worked in Morris as Printer in 1889
But Can Now Write Check in
Six Figures

From tramp printer to circus own
er tells the story of Lornnie Buchan-
on, who was here in an executive
capacity with Pattersons Trained Ami
nal Circus Wednesday, of this week.
with the exception of the fact that
Mr.. Buchanon will not admit being a
tramp printer. To the world he was
tramp printer but to himself he
was something else Or he would
never have become a circus owner
for there is absolutely no record of
tramp printer making that grade.
1t was in 1889 that Mr.. Buchanon,
then young man on his way from
the west coast, stopped at Morris
and worked for a while as printer
in the Morris Tribune back Office un-
der Col. R. C. Stevens, then editor
of the paper. Mr.. Buchanon's father
was the owner of paper in Sioux
Falls where his son became acquaint-
ed with the work To illustrate the
fact that he was considered a tramp
printer but a peculiar one Mr.. Buch-
anon tells a story of what happened
one day while employed here.
In those days the 18th amendment
was of course not yet an infant in
the cradle and Rock and Rye had
some prestige in the community.
Some friend of Mr.. Stevens, it seems
editors had friends in those days,
presented him with a little box such
as collars used to be tied up in for
delivery. Instead of a collar there
nestled in this little box specially
Snapped botte of rye liquor. Mr..
Stevens repaired to the back Office
with it to share his goods with the
boys. Mr.. Buchanon refused drink
and said that the editor became quite
astonished to meet tramp printer
who would refuse the joyous fluid.
This tramp printer, but now social
ed, circus man, was quite wanderer
in the old days and at one time with
his brother operated a paper at Lu-
verne, MINI. A controversy between
them resulted in their packing up
their shop or rather what it contain
ed and storing it away in neighbor-
ing hay NOW from then on.
Mr.. Buchanon found his own when
he turned to the show game but it
was only after having put a number
of shows on the road to battle along
and then end up penniless that he
finally, after hard labor to put an
other under canvas, succeeded in
getting a real circus on the road.
From a modest affair, he with his
partner, built up circus of % cars.
After a very successful season in
1920 they sold out for a neat sum
and now Mr.. Buchanon is travelling
with Patterson's this year and ex-
poets next year or when conditions,
he feels, will warrant it to again put
one of the great amusements tents
astir. 20.
Playing before good houses on
| Wednesday afternoon and evening
the circus proved to be one of the
, high calibre which produced just
about what folks and the kiddies de-
! light in. It was a three-ringed af-
fair with a program that delighted
the hearts of al youngsters present
and also produced some good acts for
the grown folks.

HANCOCK CREW TRIPS
MORRIS ONCE AGAIN
Interesting Contest Results in 20
Shutout for Entertainers
sington Here Sunday

In one of the fastest ball games
of the present season the Morris
crew yielded to 0 conflict to the
Hancock aggregation at Hancock
Sunday afternoon. Inability to travel
the bases was largely responsible for
the defeat Of the local crew as they
garnered eight hits off of Williams,
on the mound for Hancock, while the
Hancock team was only able to Sc
cure five off of Buttell's delivery.
Several times it looked like work for
the score keeper but Hancock was
playing ball and what might have de-
veloped into scores were turned into
goose eggs on the score sheet.
In the second inning Cooper got to
third and sherwood to second but in
ability to hit the pill at this oppor-
tune time left them to die, two men
striking out following their arrival
on the respective sacks. Again in
the seventh a couple of hits produc--
ed possibilities which did not mater
ialize.
Hancock secured it's first counter
in the fourth frame when Nelson re-
ceived a free trip to first, was ad-
vanced on Anderson's grounder to
Ross and completed the circuit on
two-base drive by Arne Hancock
again scored in the sixth when Van
Putten singled and completed the
trip on Bob Renville's twoIbagger
It seemed that Hancock was able
to hit at the times when hits meant
runs while Morris secured it's bingles
when they were non-score producing.
Williams worked we'll on the mound
for Hancock and kept the hits of the
locals we'll scattered. Both teams
played good brand of ball although
Hancock was credited with four err
rors, none of which however, were
costly. Morris had but a single err
ror. Buttell worked in good form
on the mound for the locals and re-
ceived excellent support in the field
but was not backed by any run-pro-
ducing feats when it came to batting.
Next Sunday Kensington will be
here for session with the locals and
a good game is looked for by local
fans. The game will be called at
three o'clock at the fair grounds.
Following is the box score of last
SUNDAYS game:

with women VOIlnS LOT the uISC
time in a Minnesota Primary cleo
tiOn the number of ballots cast in
Stevens county was just two less than
the number cast in the last general
election two years ago. In the 1920
general election, when women voted
for the first time, there was total
of 3,283 valid ballots cast in the
county while in the Primary last
Monday there were 1921 ballots cast.
The total Republican vote cast in the
county was 2,691 and the Democratic
vote was 492 while the number of
ballots cast without party designa
ion for county officers was 3,281.
In Morris there were 42O Repub-
lican ballots cast in the first ward
and 48 Democratic ballots while the
second ward voted 408 Republican
as against 1O6 Democratic. The total
vote in the city of Morris was 1850.
Stevens county along with the
state was carried by the Republican
ticket as endorsed at the state con-
vention. The vote for county officers
was heavier than the state ballot vOt
ing and centered about the candi-
dates for Sheriff, county attorney and
superintendent of schools. In field
of nine candidates for nomination
for Sheriff S. J. Ryan and w. R.
Schroeder survived the first round
and will make the race for the county
ent incumbent as county attorney,
was eliminated from the race this
coming fall which will center about
S. S. Flaherty and r. G.. Cushing.
With five candidates in the Primary
for county superintendent Miss Nellie
Moran and Mrs, Nellie M. Gould sur
vived. W. F. Meyer and William
Gausman will make the race for
county commissioner from the Sec
ond district as result of Mondays
balloting and D. H. Lawler and Max
Trantow will fight it out for the
same office in the Fifth district in
the general election.
Frank B. Kellogg received prac-
tically two to one vote over his near
est opponent. Ernest Lundeen, in
the race for the Office of Unied States
senator. Governor J. A. o. Preus re-
ceived the Republican approval for
Governor while Edward Indrehus will
be supported by Democrats in the
county this fall. Mike Holm the Re-
publican designation for secretary of
state over Margaret NJ. Keeler. Ray
P. Chase for state auditor and Cliff
ford L. Hilton for attorney general
both present incumbents, also re-
ceived the largest packet of ballots
on the Republican ticket for those
Offices. Grace F. Kaercher was given
a majority over Herman Mueller for
clerk of supreme court. James E..
DOran was the choice of the Demo-
Gratis for attorney general and Anna
D. Olesen for senator.
Statewide returns indicate that the
vote of Stevens county exactly dup
licates the vote of the state for the
various Republican and Democratic
candidates for the state offices.
Complete tabulated returns will be
found on page two.
In the 48th legislative district,
Senator F. L. Cliff of Ortonville and
F. J. Steidl of Wheaton are the nom
inees. L. o. Foss of Grant county,
