A Few Incidents OF Editorial Life
In the Far Southwest.
The Detroit Free Press takes the fol.
lowing extracts from the last issue OF
the Arizona Kicker.
"ExpLANAToRY.- week we an.
nounced that we were on the trail
OF j. q. Davis, tho Apache avenue
grocer, and that this weeks issue
would contain an expose calcu-
lated to startle tho community. We
had over column OF il in typs when
Mr., Davis called ut the Kicker Office
and subscribed for the paper and gave
us a column nd, for u year.
''Mr. Davis is not only genial.
wholo-souled gentleman. worthy OF a
place In our best society, but an enter
prising, go-ahead citizen who is u cred
IL to the whole state. When You want
the bost OF goods Mt tho lowest prices
call on him"
'REfoRMiNG SLOWLY. When we
struck this town the chief OF police
lay drunk on the sidewalk in front OF
the postoilice, and the six patrolmen
wore playing pool or poker. Any OF
the crowd could bc bought for half
dollar We have been pegging away
for reform with zach issue OF tho
Kicker, and we arc pleased To note an
Improvement, The chief hasn't boon
drunk for tho last fortnight, aud yester-
day we counted four patrolmen on
their boats at ono timo.n
"All reforms move slowly, but PAT
tionce and perseverance, will accomplish
much, We shall keep Mt IL, and we
predict that the day will yet como
when we shall have u police force which
will not fear n drunken Indian nor soil

"NoT TINS YEAR. Considerable anx-
iety has been expressed by our many
friends and woll-wlshors over tho fact
that the Kicker did not get the city

A citizen of Conrad, in Grundy coun-
ty, has in some way aroused the ire OF
the White Caps. He received notice
to leave town but failed to go. Anoth-
or notice was gived him, and then sew
eral business men received notices that
II the party warned did not leave town
within week the torch would be APP
piled. Several of our citizens received
letters containing piece of paper on
which number was written. The
letters requested them to paste the
number in a certain place in case they
desired to join a secret organization.
No statement of the objects of the Or

The Sioux City Savings Bank found
a few days ago that it had been swindled
out of 81, 800 in very slick manner.
Ten days before y man giving the
name of b. Simpson, deposited acheck
for SIS, 900 from the National Bank of
Bristol, Tenn, on the National Bank
of the Republic of New York. Simp-
son was introduced to the bank cashier
by Rev. Geo. Knox, pastor Of the First
Presbyterian church Of Sioux City, &c
whom month ago Simpson had pre-
sented church letter from the First
Presbyterian church OF Bristol, to-
gether with other recommendations
stating that he (Simpson) had recent
ly disposed of big farm and owned
valuable Nebraska land that he had
come there to improve. After making
a deposit of the check he went to
Ponca, Neb., and returning drew 81, 500
and disappeared. Word was received
from the bank at Bristol that the
check was forgery, and in answer to
Geographic inquiries it was said that
the church letter and other recon-
mendations were also forgeries. There
is no clue to Simpsons whereabouts.

one of the story of the Indians dur

When they saw the approaching
Occultation they would raise shout,
beat upon drums or anything to
make Il noise and then when the
eclipse passed off would declare they
had frightened away the evil spirit
by their holabaloo, and would re-
joice over their escape from destruc-
ton. So democracy, when an elec-

cause results in republican defeat

Az OLD GUN.
Efforts Made to Inearth the Menty of
On Old Rife.
G.. H..

Efforts Made to Unearth the !denty of
On Old Rife.
The old gun now in the possession
of Messrs. Rose & Bentley, and en-
exhibition at cheir office, has attrac-
ted so much atten ion that en',rta
have been made to trace its pedigree
by experienced relic hunters says the
East Oregonian.
They have met with some succ" 80.
The gun was unearthed near A,b.na.
Although rusty and mouldaring
with the decomposinG effect of the
many years which have rolled by
since its oiled stock and polished
barrel were inspected with pride by
some trapper or mountaineer, it is
in fair state of preservation. The
mysterious letters, "M. r. II. X.
Co.," family legible on its stock,
gave the only clue to its identity.
They were interpreted to mean
Mounted Rifle Regiment, Company
X" and investigation shows that
there was such an organization in
existence.
The Mounted Rifles were organ
lied in 1916, Col. w. w. Loring in
command, to protect the wagon
trains OF immigrants from the IN
dians. The gun may have belonged
to some trooper in the rifles, whose
bones have long since mingled with
the dust.
Its pecullarity lies in Tie fact that
the hammer is underneath the baI-
rel. Encyclopedias were searched
leading to the discovery in the En-
cyclopedia Brittanica that guns of
this character were among the first
cap and ball firearms made. Per-
cussion caps were generally in Use
in 1910.
Anyway, the gun must have IN
interesting history, am the quaiai
evidences of antiquity which it bears
might serve as an ms. j in, theme
for the poet.
