Tomlinson," whose excitable communicants are known to outsiders as ''holy rollers."

Son of a small-town Michigan newspaper publisher, he was shipped off to a Wyoming ranch as a boy to punch cattle and fight Indians. Later he was a newshawk, throwing up his job to join Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. While the Show was in Britain he rode in a command performance for Queen Victoria.
