So the people may know, we want say that anything appearing in this paper will be backed up before the federal government or any individual, and should you happen to hear someone peddling such not as mentioned, mark it down as an unwarranted lie, not only on the party to whom referred, but on the federal government, as no man or man can stop the government from taking action in a case where they have jurisdiction. The number two is also being told by the same party that through his powerful influence, the editor of this paper was kept out of jail for skimming an insurance company. That it was he who went before Governor Hodges and succeeded in getting that gentleman to stay an execution of the Wyandotte County district court. The untruthfulness of the statement may be seen from the fact that the party was an arch enemy of Governor Hodges and so expressed it on every occasion. And then, too, between the two villain—being "saved" by influence from such a source and going to jail, we would much prefer the latter! RICHMOND, MO.
