REAL FRONTIER JOURNALS M

A Few Moro Extracts from the
Famous Arizona journal, the
CHECKER"
The last issue Of the arizona Kicker con-
tains The following:
"a Lie Nailed.-Old Nose Tavlor, that ex-
crescence On the face of humanity. who has
been licked, raIl-ridden, jailed, and bounced
from every town in the east, Is reporting
around town that we let up on George the
Gouger because he subscribed for the Kteker.
AS there may be some one fool enough to be-
lieve in the old hyena's yarn we will explain
that George, who keeps the checkered-front
saloon, was falsely misrepresented to us by
q rival In business, who hoped to drive him
ont OF town. We did wade into him for n
spell, and even tried 10 get him lynched. but
we we're in error. While lie has shot three
men they were all trying TO get the drop on
him. George has subscribed for the Kicker
because he likes 1t, and We have let up on
him because he Is an enterpising citizen
who means to do what Is o 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
week IL he doesn't leave town.
A Bad, Bad Mau.-If there is a meaner
this footstonl than 'Mst" jackson Doty,
the old asinaint grocer on the corner OF Sit
ting Bull avenue and Cheyenne street, Won
give $50 for his address We object to pcr-
sonaiities In a Hewspaper, but We must say
that of all the low-down, doggoned old gum
backs in this territory. he takes the cake.
He'd cheat blind woman out al her dead
baby's coffin, and he'd lie II offered 500 to
tell the truth.
LATER.-Msi Doty has come in and sub
| bal e. ~s.I... -. al.zra
In type, and has also contracted for $50
worth OF advertising. We take pleasure in
Informing our readers that he 10 a business
man Of the old school. honest, reliable, and
truthful aud that as q citizen his record Is
above reproach. Long NAV lie wave.
A Suspicious Character That old. super
animated wind-bag who runs the Weekly Star
and calls himself an editor and publisher,
has again been critcsiug the political course
OF the Kicker. We Invite aud can stand crit
icism from men OF sense, but the idea of an
old jail-bir breaking the bars in Illinois,
robbing farmer Of his hogs, and coming
west 10 start u paper with the proceeds aud
crticise his superlors from week to week Ia u
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 81 years old,
yellow.faced, lOng.nosed, several warts on
his chin, and has game leg. He can. no
doubt, be tried for dozen different crimes.
We did think once OF shooting him, but the
cost OF the shot aud powder figured more than
his carcass is worth.
RAtraction Last week we stated that
Bue-Nosed Pete the shoemaker on Apache
avenue, WAS about TO wed Aunt Sal jackson,
the cook in the RedCloud restaurant We
gave Pete away as an escaped convict from
the Ohio penitentiary, aud also threw in Il
hint that Aunt Sal had done time in Joliet
for shon-lifting.
II affords us great pleasure this week to
announce that Peter was for many years q
banker in Boston, and was always noted for
his general worth. He has not only sub
ecribed for The Kicker, but presented us with
n new pair OF boots As TO Aunt Sally, we
nre pleased to know that she came west IA Il
missionary, and is simply cooking for recrea-
! ton. She graduated at famous seminary,
has been married twice and has ALWAYS had
the reputation OF being Il lady. She has also
subscribed for the Kicksr, and we take great
pleasure in setting her right before the pub
lie We shall probably retract some more
next week-in case the subscriptions come
in.-DetrOu Free Press.
