t pled under foot by the people.STORMY JORDAN AND THE G. 0. P.Our evening contemporary made a sensational discovery yesterday, which wras nothing less than an official copy of the governor’s revocation of “Stormy” Jordan’s suspension of fines was in the office of the clerk of ths district court, and dad been there for some \ days “under lock ana key.” Why, says the Courier, in open mouthed astonishment, the document has been here three whole days and we never knew it!Wonderful!
