An excited gent hurried into the country editor's office and exclaimed, 'That notice of my death in your paper today is a lie, sir, a lie. I'll horsewhip you in public, sir, if you don't apologize in your next issue.'
The next issue of the paper contained the following announcement:
'We regret to announce that the paragraph in our last issue which stated that Colonel Bumble is dead is not true.'
