Juvenile globetrotter visits city. Jimmie Erickson, age 13, juvenile globetrotter of the world, paid the city a visit last evening. Jimmie’s home address is Crookston, Minn. He has just paid his native home a visit. A month ago he bid his Frisco friends a hasty “good-bye” with the promise he would return in ninety days’ time. He is apparently going to make good his promise, for in two days he has traveled one-fifth the distance to his rendezvous.
