y To the Gordon Journal
The attention of the editor of this
paper has been called to the rank pla
giarism by Bro Lyon of the Gordon
Journal last week He clipped at
east two items from this paper with
out giving credit for the same One
of them was the article refering to
Kattlesnake Jack Now we dont
care a continental for that but as the
aforesaid Jack is on our track with one
of his pets we would advise Bro
Lyon to credit the article if he doesnt
wish to fall under the ban and get
snake bit Whisky is the only cure
tor snake bite and as J3ro Lyon is a
temperance man he might have to
break his pledge Its all right to clip
from the Atchison Globe because their
traveling man dosent carry snakes
around in his pocket
