them for reasons of his own, when
he betrays his trust, then he becomes
a bosom friend with them. There is
an old saying about "birds OF a
feather f1oc1ing together" and time
proves this thing again and again.
The Stc1kan outfit is welcome to
Jack O'Grady, says Editor Taylor.
They are Welcome to all of his
stories and all of his perjuries. They
can have him with Editor Taylor's
compliments. Next week he will
probably have another fabrication OF
some kind or other, but he viii not
discuss the seed grain collection The
Sheridan County Farmer says that
it is going to expose corruption IN
Sheridan county. The Producers
News suggested just the place to
start, but that paper was not inter
ested and proceeded to hire Burley
Bowler, who has been fired bv the
farmers of Daniels county for the
looting of their paper, to do the eX-
posing. DR.. Storkan surely is choos-
ING appropriate associates to assist
him in his efforts to silence the pa
per disclosing his own skulduggery,
and the people of Sheridan county
should not allow themselves to be
come confused on that point. DR..
Storkan and Jack O'Grady make a
splendid team to clean up graft IN
Sheridan county.
Editor Taylor calls attention to
the fact that in regards to the
above affidavit, he must file an atil-
davit in denial, and that it now rests
on his oath or the oath of Jack
O'Grady. The reader will have to
form his own opinion of which OF
us is the most worthy of belief and
there the matter must rest until Mr.
O'Grady substantiates his allegations
sworn as they are bv further cOrrOb-
Grating evidence, or until the unfold
ing of time discloses which one is the
most worthy of credence.
