Few Trenchant Remarks from an Es-

A Few Trenchant Remarks from Es-
teenied Contemporary.
PAINFUL AcCIDENT-Together with about
twenty other gentlemen, we We're sitting in
front of the Crook house last Tuesday even
ing when the Tucson stage suddenly drove
up, having Unexpectedly arrived Fifteen min
ut7s ahead of tirno. One of the outside pas
seHgers had the appearance of a detective,
and there was sudden scatteration of loung-
ers. 1t was laughable to see Col Jones, Maj
Wickhani. Judge Perdue, Professor Wise and
others tumble over each other as they broke
for the sage brush
An unfortunate accident occurred in this
connection The Hon. Timothy Shocks, late
OF Indiana, probably believing that he had
bsAn sent for for barn burning or horse steal
ing, fell over bench in his hurry to abscond
anu broke bis left leg, and it will probably be
two months before he will be able to be about
again.
A POSSIBLE MIsTAKE.-Col Keho Jones,
who was pulled up to limb by the boys the
other night as warning that no snide games
will be allowed in any gambling house in this
baiiwick has called at The Kicker office to
protest that we were mistaken in the way we
sixai him up in our local columns He showed
us letters of recommendation from prominent
pa tias in Washington, Philadelphia and New
York, and he exhibited the Testament given
him by his mother twenty-thres years ago
and worn over his heart ever since
We may possibly have been mistaken in
writing the gentleman up as forger, en-
bexzler, bigamist and escaped convict, and in
encouraging the boys to pull his neck as
warning. If 50, we are very sorry. The only
way he can satisfy US of his integrity is to
frown Eon anything like a skin game in his
establishment in future.
SOLE AGENT.--We have been appointed
sole agent in this town for the Kentucky
Hemp company, limited, and will be the only
one handling their famous "No. 6' rope
This rope, as most of our readers are aware
is made for and exclusively used as ueckties
for bad men. 1t will stand the greatest
strain, run easier, fit tighter, and give more
general satisfaction than any other hanging
rope in the market. No matter what sort of
a neck man has, this rope settles to the
right spot at once. We sell it in twenty foot
lengths at 50 per length, and where more is
wanted the price will be made satisfactory.
Give us a call before purchasing elsewhere.
THERE Is ONE answer to Correspond
ent" last week, who asked if there was a
railroad line running through this town, we
replied that IL such a line existed we had
never heard of it i'll the two years of our stay.
We now desire to inform him that there is a
line--a branch of the u. P road-and that
it runs two trains per day and gives excellent
service.
The manager of the line, Mr. Ben Davis,
called at our office yesterday and handed us
an annual pass over the line, and we take
pleasure in saying that the cars are of the
best make, the fare reasonable and that the
line has done much to build up our town.
Nor YET.-We have often been asked
why we did not establish Daily Kicker, and
many individuals have promised us their
hearty support. In the first place we are
now running under one roof a great weekly
newspaper, a harness shop, a grocery, feed
store and a great boot and shoe house, and
we haven't much spare time, and in the
second place when we have any money to
throw away we'll do it by establishing a
school of philosophy for Indians. We've got
good thing as it is, and we don't sigh for
the whole earth.-Detroit Free Press
