OFF AGAIN,
ON AGAIN,
GONE AGAIN
StOrkan's Pilsterine Not Leased or
Sold to Green Ink ROger-COntrary
Reports False.
MEDIC STILL BABY'S ANGEL.

The StOrkan Pilsterine is still the
property, it seems, of the intrepid
medic, other reports to the contrary
Notwithstanding.
1t seems to be another case of "off
agin, on agin, gone agin." Green
Ink Rogers and Numie Scott did not
have the necessary mazuma to close
the deal, it seems, and the great ex-
ponent of the Unity Of Town and
Country" is still on the poor does
hands. Green Ink Roger and Numie
Scott simply being in the pilster's
employ-that is if the medic's income
IS sufficient to meet the payroll which
they hope it will be since the doc get
the printing contract along with his
poor doctor graft. Of course it is
claimed that Numie Scott still has
some sort of a silent equity in the
venture, which he is willing to have
remain silent as long as the pilsters
will dig up. 1t is claimed that the
doc is growing weary of the burden
which has become of late more and
more calling as those who were as
sociated with him in the "great ex-
pectatiOn" one by one drop out and
refuse to contribute. or to- have any
thing to do with the paper that is
afraid to carry name of an editor
at the mast head. The lying pro-
clivities of the paper become too pro-
nOunced for most of the mainstreet-
ers, and it is said that the doc has
about exhausted his credit borrowing
money to keep the thing afoat fnan-
cially-that he borrowed two hund-
red dollars to pay eff the printer a
week or so ago, who was so overioyed
that he got drunk and left town, MAX
ing room for Scott who had Just re-
turned from the office of Joe Dolin's
paper at Red Lodge with the report
that that venture is not exactly pros
pering. Rodger Burke, a pretty de-
cent writer, who also deserted Dolin's
Red Lodge paper, being along with
Scott, was hired by the pilster as the
editor, and last week the paper came
out under the new management.
Just as soon as the doc get the
paper off from his hands. he appoint
ed himself as a committee of one on
ways and means, and left for the
western part of the state, where he
hoped to connect up with some eff the
coin Of the realm that the Kompany
is said to be passing around-some
donkey money.
1t is reported that the Pilsterine
will be democratic in politics this fall
and is now at work organizing a COM
plete county democratic ticket to get
behind Sen. Walsh. The fusion ticket
idea being reported as blighted
Doc, however, is just crazy to get
the dead horse off from his hands, and
according to an ad appearing in the
Publishers Auxiliary, Scott and
Burke will probably be presented with
the paper shortly, if they decide they
will accept the present. Doc admits
that In politics that he is as big a
fizzle as he is in medicine, and his
friends say that he is a nervous
wreck and is badly in need of a rest. !
A few weeks ago, Storkan tried to
the Farmerine with the
Herald. throwing in the printing con-
tract as an inducement, and continu-
ing the paper as the PlentywoOd Her
aid, but it is said that Editor Nelson
did not care to compromise himself
morally or financially by any associ- /
alton with the medic, so after due
he declined.
Now that the doc has got back, the
old saw horses will be trotted out
for the races and Jud Matkins and
Jack O'Grady will no longer have to
mark time.
Doc sometimes relaxes a little when
he is OTt-just sort Of lmbers up a
little, which some times cause de-
lays, but dec eventually arrived and
the fat is beginning to fry.
