Russell Click was seriously injured
last Saturday evening by being
thrown out of the back end of George
Phillips's delivery wagon while they
were crossing one of the draws just

The Journal received letter from a
politician pretty we'll known in this
locality, in which some very import
ant(?) matter was contained that is
mighty fine political boosting for the
politician in question. The letter
went on to say that the editor of the
Plains Journal could publish same as
it was furnished free. And now what
we are wondering at is, whether there
are any more editors up and down
the line that are looked upon as be-
ing such d fools that they can't
