SOMEWHAT
An Interchange of Stink pots 4
tween Two carson PaDers.

An Interchange Of stink pots He.
tween Two Carson Papers.
We judge by what the Capital papers
are saying that there is a smooth young
man over there that has the drawl and a
waxed mustache and does not pay his bills.
He is charged with bilking hotel keepers,
etc.-contracting obligations" that he is
not able to meet. The editor of the Car
son Tribune is Mortified hat there should
be such a monster in Carson. The very
thought Of a non-debt payer polluting the
holy air of Carson ! The righteous Tri-
bune editor, who never allowed himself to
owe a cent in his life, couldn't endure
such a Monster in the neighborhood over
which he sits in constant watch-a s'holy
terror" to evil -doers.
The heavy man of the Index thinks that
journalism should be impersonal; that it
is not a legitimate newspaper job to Ego
after" q gentleman Of fine address, who is
scholarly, prepossessing, ETC., eff he is I'M
fortunate and may not be able to meet his
obligations"
The Tribune of Monday afternoon did
nevertheless Ego after" the aforesaid sleek
young buck who is unfortunate in his
obligations"
Tuesday morning the Index turned loose
the following:
tom of blackmailing by casting scurrilous
i~nuendoes at a young gentleman who has
been residing in Carson for several months
past. The young man in question is a
gentleman of fine address, scholarly and
prepossessing, always civil, and his de-
pertinent generally such as entities him
to associate with the best Of people with
whom he meets, 1t may be his misfortune
to be unable to meet all of his obligations
at the present time-possibly he may not
be strictly honest. But it is not the mis-
sion of a legitimate journalist to malign
and Willy gentlemen who at times are not
able to meet their obligations, and it comes
in very bad taste for an impostor, fraud,
criminal and b~lackmailer; a man that for
half a century has avoided the payment Of
his just debts, to assail tho character of a
young gentleman who in every particular
is his superior. 1t is the mission Of the
Daily Index to protect the citizens of this
community from the blackmailings of
this presuming old impostor, and we give
him fair warning to keep his hands off the
good people Of Carson"
This brought out the following delicate
little reply:
IF the cowardly, spla-footed pauper who
writes for old Paul Pry on the Carson
'Ibex' will explain who he means by the
Tribune man in his scurrilous remarks
on the editor of the paper. it will be far
more easy to handle the affair. The Trib-
has persistently ignored the hex
not desiring to have anything to do with
so cowardly q cur as the 'caned' editor
thereof. 1t is unpleasant for readers to
see daily personalities in print, and so in
stead Of fighting any battles on paper let
the real thing come and so settle the affair.
We well know who is at the bottom of the
business, and although nothing so ire
sponsible a cur can say Of us carries with
it the slightest weight or can by any pessi-
billty injure any one connected with the
Tribune, we propose to have names men.
toned in the future or know the reason
why. The Tribune meyer has been guilty
Of b~lackmailing. and the man who charges
it is a black-hearted liar and q poltroon.
We have now said our say to the 'Ibex,'
and propose to pay no further attention,
in print, to anything he may write, for the
reason that it would not be respectable
literature to refer to so base a thing"
