Grenier Brings Em
Back Big, Dead
—
Bags 1,050-Lb. Elk
in Wyoming
Frank Grenier doesn’t bring ’em
back alive. But he brings ’em hack
big.
Near Sheridan, Wyo., Friday he
bagged a 1.050-pound male elk,
climaxing a month's hunting in
the Big Horn mountains His
guide was his son-in-law, Harvey
Sawyer of Sheridan, formerly of
O’Neill and Ainsworth.
Grenier fired from 350 yards,
hitting the elk three times. The
half-tonner was hauled to a meat
processing plant and dressed out
it 482 |xjunds (not including the
heart and liver).
Wyoming game conservation
officers in the area told the O’
Neill man it was the “most per
fect’’ set of horns (six-pointers)
brought in during the past two
years. The veterans in the area
described the horns as a “royal
set ”, They also told Grenier the
horns appear on the elk in March
and are shed each year, starting
over each spring.
One conservation officer said a
deformed set often follows a near
perfect set.
The Sawyers have been living
at Sheridan three years and Gren
ier and his wife make the trip
there annually. They left O’Neill
Octoljer 7 and returned Monday.
Grenier is quick to point out he
also bagged a 180-pound mule
deer.
"Oh yes,” he remembered, “we
have 105 pounds of hamburger
out of Mr. Elk”!

Holt countyans turned out en
masse in Tuesday’s non-presiden
tial general election.
They reelected: William W.
Griffin, republican, for county at
torney in the only countywide con
test.
Reelected Edward N. Flood,
democrat, and Clarence Ernst,

democrats, to the county board
(Dierking having originally been
appointed to the board).

Okayed bingo.
Holt, traditionally a republican
fort, gave the nod to national and
state GOP candidates right down
the line, but by considerably less
margins than at any time in re
cent years.
Early returns gave John R. Gal
lagher, democrat, a lead over
Griffin for county attorney. But,
after outlying returns began to
come in, Griffin moved ahead and
stayed ahead although at times
the margin was whittled to as few
as 70 votes. Final was 2,164 to
1,942. Two years ago Griffin won
by more than five hundred votes.
Flood, demo incumbent, posted
a safe win over Irene Booth, GOP
contender, in First district super

the first time a woman ever tried
for the post. Count 367-197.
Robert Hanley, demo, took an
early lead over Ernst, republican
incumbent, in Third district ballot
ing. Ernst won, 379-274.

Brooks Pulls
Surprise on
Anderson
McCook Educator 1 s
Apparent Winner
in Governor Race
Nebraska’ republican party, hav
ing enjoyed a complete grip on
stale government affairs since
1941, was battered in Tuesday’s
off-year general election by a re
surgent democratic party.
U. S. Sen. Roman Hruska sur*
vived the demo assault and turned
back Frank B. Morrison, a Lin
coln attorney who lias met defeat
in previous bids.
Two traditionally’ republican
congressional districts went to
democrats.
Donald F. McGinley, 38, Ogalla
la attorney, rancher and state leg
islator, upended A. L. Miller of
Kimball in the Fourth district. Mil
ler, a republican, has been in con
gress over 20 years and on one oc
casion swamped his adversary with
a 74 percent popular vote.
Law’re nee Brock, Wakefield far
mer-democrat, handed a resound
ing defeat to Roliert D. Harrison,
GOP incumbent, in ttie Third dis
trict. Two years ago Harrison won
over Brock in the mail count.
Probably the biggest surprise
was the apparent victory of Ralph
G. Brooks, McCook educator, over
Gov. Victor Anderson. Brooks, a
democrat, won big majorities in the
populous Omaha-Iincoln area liut
More Election News
on page 6.
trailed the GOP incumbent outstate,
including Holt, Rock, Garfield,
Knox and Antelope counties. Boyd
county, however, gave Brooks an
advantage. Several thousand mail
votes remain to be counted.
Dwight Burney, Hartington re
publican, held a slight lead over
Frank Sorrell of Syracuse in the
race for lieutenant-governor. Bur
ney is the incumtient and Sorrell
has thrice been a demo candidate
for governor, always defeated.
Sorrell is an auctioneer.
Frank Marsh, republican, de
feated Leonard Foster, democrat,
for secretary of state; Ray G
Johnson, republican, defeated a
dead man, J. R. Kelly, democrat,
for state auditor; Richard R. Lar
sen, a Lincoln salesman-democrat,
was leading J. Monroe Bixler,
Harrison state senator, for the
state treasurer's post; Clarence
R. Beck, GOP, defeated William
E. Grubbs, demo, for attorney-gen
eral, and Joseph J. Brown, repub
lican, was holding a slight edge
on J. C. McReynolds, demo, for
the railway commission.
Marsh, Johnson, Beck and
Brown are incumbents.
Defeat of Miller was in part
blamed on his attacks on Secre
tary of Agriculture Ezra Benson
a year ago and, when Benson’s
stock began to rise, Miller did a
flipflop. McGinley comes from a
large, prominent sandhills family
and he campaigned hard.
Harrison’s spanking is gener
ally traced to his accidental as
cendency following the death of
Karl Stefan. Harrison was a none
nity until then and since has been
considered by many within his own
party as weak.
Governor Anderson’s eclispe
was the shocker. Many observers
predicted he was a shoo-in. Ac
tually, he had a record of running
a sound and conservative govern
ment from the fiscal standpoint
lerry t^arpenier s verutu
manship blasts at Vic over the
past two years had telling effect
Anderson’s state highway chief
tian, L. N. Ress, undoubtedly cost
the governor some outstate votes.
Anderson may also have absorbed
some blame (though it wasn’t his
fault) for loss of the last two-pas
senger-mail-express trains in the
north half of the state. Some sports
men, unhappy with the state game
commission < Anderson appoint
ees), went for Brooks who also had
strong support of the professional
educators who form probably the
strongest political bloc in the state
today.
The turn on Anderson generally
was reflected down the line in oth
er state offices.
Proposed constitutional amend
ments won favor for the most part.
An amendment legalizing bingo
carried easily as did the amend
ment authorizing creation of ju
venile courts.
Of the nine amendments con
fronting voters, rejections went
only to the proposed doubling of
the pay of state legislators, and
proposed authorization or cities to
lease property to private industry.
