AS for Batcave Bill: He is known
all over the state as man entirely
unreliable and untrustworthy; a teller
of wonderful tales with himself as til.
hero tales never told the same way
twice; man who right here On the
Missouri Slope-at Wilton gave tho
diitiest kind Of a dirty deal " the

plOyed himin fact, known all over
the state AS a sort VI vermifurm APP

Min like these, who instead Of di.

and vituperation toward the editor VI

they thought there would be no dan
ger to their hides while doing 50.
When Katcaye Bill went " Brad
dock, claiming that he had purchased
the News, We gave him In the Rec
ord's columns credit for good faith in
the purchase, aud we extended to him
the usual complimentary notice. The
following week we learned that Bill
was 10 come back and another printer
whom Mr.. Patterson had recently en-
ployed was TO 60 there in his place.
We gave the information as = matter
Of news. Everybody knows that news
