THE DAILY JOURNAL.
MILES CITY, Montana,
Sunday, January 24, 1892.
SAM GORDON, of Miles City, is making so much money out of his daily steal from the Yellowstone Journal that he will return younger to accept the pantry situation, the office of register of the land office while he hoboing, having deleted other thefts to turn it in to the powers that be or blow it in at the next meeting of the Press Association. It would last the many autumn tints' miners - under Montana.
We find the above wholly worthless and misleading article enjoying quite a run on the state exchange.
THE DAILY YELLOWSTONE JOURNAL as an enterprise is projected on purely philanthropic lines, the proprietors looking to the ultimate future for their reward; meanwhile he is entirely round visage brings slowly attuned with the furrows of age, with the iron tooth of poverty has fastened so strongly on the periodical um of his nether garments that he has of late only made his appearance in public when swathed in the gingling folds of an ulster. The only atom of truth in the article is in the last paragraph and to be mathematically exact we should more to amend by striking out the "fifteen" and inserting the word "five" in its stead.
