Az Energetic Western Editor Who Cant
 Be Esought OF or Hun Out,
 The la,t issue of the Arizona Kicker contains the following cheerful para graphs:
 Nor SUCCESS. Last Saturday night, soon alter eleven O clock, some gentleman whose identity is unknown to us, fired u charge of buck-shot through the side window of our editorial room directly at the spot where our cot Is usually placed. Had the cot been there we should have been inauested on and buried ere this. But the cot wasn't there. We are not purty, but we are no hayseed. We haven't slept twice in the same spot for the last twelve weeks. We have learned the ways of this com munity at considerable cost and trouble and we don't propose to plant ourselves as a midnight target. We feel sorry for the gent who wasted his energies and ammunition. He doubt less went away from the window feel ing that he was entitled to credit for doing smart thing. Come again, old chap
 "CAN'T TELL YET The Boston Acme Opera Company is billed for two nights next week at Carter's Hall. This may be first-cass combination, or it may be snide show which our people should give the cold shoulder. No tickets have been left at this office up to date, and we shall not express our opinion in this issue. V
 "ERRATA. We find we were in error last week in regard to the shoot. ing affray between Hon. Bill Dakln and Colonel Jones. We supposed at the time that Colonel Jones was a regular subscriber to this paper, but a look through our list proves that We have never had his name at all. On the contrary, Hon. Dakin has sub scribed for five copies. We were mis- informed as to the following:
 "l. Dakin did not call Jones a liar.
 % Dakin did not draw his gun first.
 a Jones did not offer to apologize. We were nasty in saying that Dakin ought to swing from limb, and that he had long been a terror to the town. We found him to be q mild, courteous, gentecl citizen, full of push and enterprise, and his presence is a credit to the town. Colonel Jones had better travel for his health as soon as able, and in case he finds a town to suit him better ho should buy it and settle there"
 Nor THIs YEAR.-A cores pond- ent who signs himself P. D. c. wants to know why the kicker doesn't pitch into the Board of Aldermen for its corruption, and he adds that every mothers son of them could be sent to prison for a thief We don't doubt this assertion in the least, but We are not saying any thing We have the city printing this year at a good, fat price, and are not saying q word.
 .RETURNED. = Major Jim Smith created quite sensation by descend- ing from the stage as it reached town last Friday evening. We had no soon. CT notified him that his subscription to the Kicker had expired than he hand ed us two big silver dollars for q re- newal The MaJOr has put in the past year in State prison, having been sent there by mistake, as his friend: are convinced. He served his term like a man, and has returned to the bosom of his family and society. He has cards out for high coffee day after tomorrow, and the elite will be there in legions.
