Too Realistic

During the state fair a party
went over from Marshall and we
joked them considerable at the
instance of various members of
The party. Last week we had an
item about A. C. Potter, Robt.
Hyatt, M. Gauldin and others, stat
ing THAT we had been informed that
they had been seen behind a saloon
in Sedaha, etc, by someone. We
are told that several OF the gentle
men considered the item too real
istic, and wish to say that as far
as We know the whole matter was
based on nothing and that the
standing OF the men named is such
as not to fool anyone into thinking
that 1T was anything but a Joke,
but for fear someone may have
taken 1t seriously we make this ex-
PLANTATION. Most OF the men in
this party r total abstainers and
there is no room to suspect any
thing but OF the way in this line.
