Editorial Labops in Arizona.

From the Newly DIRK Tribune.
Two noble Indian braves of Arizona,
named Gee-Up Charley and Short Pants,
attempted to clean out the office of the
local paper. The next week the editor
described the result as follows: "At
first they had the advantage, Short
Pants having hit us terrific blow In the
stomach, which temporarily knocked
the wind out of us. But we soon rallied,
and by plying two forms upon Gee-Up
Charley's head eliminated him from the
battle. Then, by skillful maneuvering,
we kept Short Pants from hitting us
again until we got to the door, when we
called TO Al Blodget to help MS, which
he did. The red devils are now In Jail,
where they will have chance to sober
up. Our loss is 81 TO-"

of the ladies said: This little girl is one

Oh, dear! where are Martha's civil
