We extract the following items from tho
lAse issue Of The Arizona Kicker:
ANOTHER CURVE desire to announce to
the readers of The Kicker that we have made
another cut in the price Of baF soap. and for
the next two weeks shall offer SIX bars for
quarter This is one bar ahead Of anything
yet offered west Of Chicago. and, while it
brings the profits way down to zero, we ex-
pect to reap some little honor from our enter
prise. The grocery which we run in connec-
| tion with The Kicker is coming rapidly to
| the front. and it Is only question OF few
| weeks when it will stand et the head. Our
| goods are fresh, warranted full weight and
prices lower than anywhere else.

the other day when the governor of Arizona
shook hands with Us in front of the post
Office, and we have noticed a considerable
change in the demeanor of certain people to-
wards us ever since. The governor was cor

CANE TO GErEF--Thc suit o. the Widow
1 for
ages $l5.OoO. came up in court last Friday.
THIS suit was instituted six months ago by
| the court house ring, which has sought our
| iywnfali ever since the first issue of this pa
per That is, they put the widow up to sue
U.s. and have advanced the money Is it was
| needed
When the widow was put on the stand she
testified ;i,at OH the night of Feb. 2l, 1887, we
as,lel her 10 marry Us. She insisted that the
date was correct, and that nothing could
change her mind about il. We then exhibited
the records of the Jail to prove that on that
day and night. and on all next day and next
night, we We're a prisoner. having, as some
Of our readers may remember, departed from
| the line Of virtue and gone On a bender. This
exhibit knocked the widow out in the first
round. and confounded her supporters and
| we don't believe they viii tackle Us again
after that fashion.
As for the widow, she was only a cats
paw, and we have sent to her house basket
of groceries, clothesline, a set Of cups and
saucers and q sack of -four to prove that we
have no malice.
IT WILL Be VERY QUIET.-Our city elec-
| ton, which takes place next Tuesday, will be
q very quiet one, and the singular spectacle
Of two tickets almost without candidates
will be presented. As both tickets were made
ap of ring candidates, we felt it our duty to
publish, as far as we could secure it, history
Of each. Our biographies included thirteen
out Of the sixteen candidates. and the publ
cation was only three days old when most Of
them were hunting other localities. They
averaged all the way from murderers down
to barn burners, and we are not likely to be
troubled with them again.
What is left OF the two tickets is fairly
| clean and honest. We are sorry We had to
interfere, and thus place the parties III such
queer fir, but we felt it duty we owed to
| the public.
\ WASTE OF MoNEY.-Some person who
has grievance against The Kicker left An
| Internal machine on our doorstep one night
last week. 1t was a starch box filed with
giant powder and two pounds OF outlets, and
| was so arranged as to explode when the cover
| was lifted We took it in and started to
open it, supposing some modest admirer had
left us a box of fruit or confectionery, but
on second thought concluded to soak it for
| while This action saved our life. Not only
that, but it prevented the destruction Of our
institution and probably of much surround
inS property.
We have made every effort to trace tho
fiend who put up this job. but so far without
success We realiZe that there are many men
| in this community who banker for our life,
but VIC hope to disappoint them. If they
feel that they must have it, why not fire
