FROM THE COLUMNS OF THE
LIVELY "ARIZONA KICKER"
A LIE NAILED.

Oh the face OF humanity, who has been
licked, rail-ridden, jailed and bounced
from every town i'll the East-is re-
porting around town that we let up on
George the Gouger because he sub
scribed for the Kicker. As there may
be someone fool enough to believe in
the old hyenas yarn, we will explain
that George, who keeps the checkered
front saloon, wasfalsely misrepresented
to us by rival in business, who hoped
to drive him out of town. We did
wade into him for spell, and even
tried to get him lynched, bat we were
i'll error. While he has shot three
men they We're all trying to get the
drop on him. George has subscribed
for the Kicker because he likes it, and
we have let up on him because he is
an enterprising citizen who means to
do what is 0. X.
We return our thanks for a bottle of
port, sent in yesterday. AS for old
Nose, we've bought the rope which
will hang him within IA week if he
doesn't leave town.
A BAD, BAD MAN.
If there is a meaner and more con-
temptible coyote on the face of this
footstool than "Major' jackson Doty,
the old skintlint grocer on the corner
Of Sitting Bull avenue and Cheyenne
street, Well give fifty dollars for his
address. We object to personalities
in newspaper, but we must say that
of all the low down, doggoned old gum
backs in this territory, he takes the
cake. He'd cheat a blind woman out
of her dead baby's coffin, and he'd lie
if offered 800 to tell the truth.
LATER.-Major Doty has come in
and subscribed for the Kicker since the
above was put in type, and has also
contracted for $50 worth of adyertis-
ing. We take pleasure in informing
our readers that he is a business man
of the old school, honest, reliable and
truthful, and that as citizen his re-
cord is above reproach. Long may he
wave.
A SUSPICIOUS CHARACTER.
That old, superanuated wind-bag
who runs the Weekly Star and calls
} himself an editor and publisher, has
again been criticising the political
course of the Kicker. We invite and
can stand criticism from men of sense,
but the idea of an old jail-bird break
ing the bars in Illinois, robbing a
farmer Of his hogs, and coming West
5 to start a paper with the proceeds and
. .. criticise his superiors from week to
week. is little too catosh
For the benefit of the officers of the
: law we would say that this old kuss
who goes by the name of Daniels, is
about fifty years old, yellow-faced
: long-nosed, several warts on his chin
Q and has game leg. He can, no doubt
= = be tried for a dozen different crimes
We did think once of shooting him
h but the cost of the shot and pOwde
D. figured more than his carcass is worth
10 RETRACTIoNs.
