Jerky.
what do you mean?" / asked.
"They have stolen our candidate"
repeated Jerky, land we will have to
pay n good round price to get him back,
or we will get left on the election.
Hurry home, and run off 1000 hand
bills, offering 500 reward for informa-
ton Of his whereabouts. Head it
LOST SO that it will attract atten-
ton. Then get out an extra issue Of
the paper, and pour hot shot into
Riley Holt. by the way, you can do it
the bills. Give ito him hard. Re-
member the city backs you"
The following is the editorial that
appeared in the next edition of the To-
cal paper:
While delivering a telling speech at
Red Rock, last night, the mayor of
this city was actually abducted from
the stand where he was making the
effort of his life. The lights were put
out, and the mayor was taken away
Riley Holt, who Is his political oppo-
nent, and one Dirty Dave, who was
run out Of this city for not changing
his clothes since the town site was To-
Gated, and who Is n fit companion for
Riley, are known to be responsible for
the mayors disappearance, as they
were heard forming the plot after the
first speech of Saturday night, when
his honor did the cowardly Riley up SO
badly that the crowd left the grounds
before Riley had said q dozen words.
This city offers a reward of 500
for any information that will
lead to the discovery Of the
mayor, and IL the town Of Red
Rock had not been dead for the past
decade she would do likewise. In all
probability the editor Of the sheet pub
lished in Red Rock will not know Of
the rascally abduction until he receives
this paper. He Is q Holt man, and is
some years behind the present progress
sive era. His skull Is thick, and con-
s%cquently there is very little for
brain. He Is in tho first edition of
Darwin, and his correct name Is Mon
key. If he can get some one to read
IllIu uuu lib DiTu hiicy, lucy AIhy &c
something Of an idea of its meaning
during the next month, and then you
will see some charging.
The Senator's people are always Mt
| home, and would drink q quart of
mountain sage-tea for the pleasure of
a business call from either or both OF
the vermin.
We are informed that the red
headed lawyer, who. on the Fourth OF
July. got drunk and fell out Of the
stand and broke his arm, and
threatened to sue the city for damages,
Is going to take the stump for Riley.
He is a good sample of Red Rocks
lawyers, and his step will show the
height of his aspirations.
If our mayor Is not set ut liberty
within forty-eight hours after this
publication, there will be several new
holes dug, and some of them will be
filed with dead politicians. We mean
business.
The mayors wife kicked the bark
off all the trees in the front yard, then
took her gun, mounted her horse, ant
started for Red Rock. The town Is
! liable to be aroused to activity in the
neal future. When villainy Is SO ram
pant that o community will steal q
candidate for Office, and that, too,
while delivering a speech, the line
should be drawn and stealing punished
by hanging. w. W. GARrNER.
