The Champion Coolie of Arcadia last :
week tried to take a fall out of the
Loup City papers over their items of
building interest in the city. When
the fact is patent that there will be
more new buildings erected in Loup
City this year than can be counted in
the whole of Arcadia, our wild-eyed
Boxer friend will h»ye to fall back on
more of his last year’s bird’s nest items
to fill his readers with the evidence of
his lack of knowledge of importart
events That Cooley is not keeping
up-to-date, and should not be t^ken
seriously, we have only to quote the,
following item from his last week’s
paper: “That the chances are Governor
Mickey will veto the biennial election
law, in which case we wil be obliged
to go into politics again soou.” Some
one keep him from hitting the pipe till
he posts up a little.
