THE ARIZONA KICKER.

The ARIZONA KICKER.
An Energetic Western Editor Who Can't
he Bought on or Run Out
The last issue of the Arizona Kicker
contains the following cheerful para
graphs:
NOT SUCCESS. Last Saturday
night, soon after eleven o'clock. some
gentleman whose identity is unknown
to us, fired a charge of buck-shot
through the side window of our
editorial room directly at the spot
where our cot is usually placed. Had
tho cot been there we should have
been inquested on and buried ere this.
But the cot wasn't there. We are not
purity, 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 ut considerable cost and
trouble and we don't propose to plant
ourselves as midnight target. We
feel sorry for the gent who wasted his
energies and ammunition. Ho doubt
less went away from the window feel
ing that he was entitled to credit for
doing a smart thing. Come again,
old chap"
CANT TELL YEr.-The Boston
Acme Opera Company is billed for
two nights next week at Carriers Hall.
This may be u irst-class combination,
or it may be u 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"
.ERRATA We find we were in
error last week in regard to the shoot
ing ARRAY between Hon. Bill Dakln
and Colonel Jones. We supposed at
the time that Colonel Jones was a
regular subscriber to this paper, but
O. look through on" list proves that VIC
have never had his name at all On
the contrary, Hon. Dakin has SUBJ
scribed for five copies. We were mis-
informed as t. the following:
81. Dakin did not coll Jones q liar.
''2. Dakin did not draw his gun
first.
"3. Jones did not offer to apologize.
I'VE were hasty in saying that
Dakin ought to swing from q limb.
and that he had long been q terror to
the town. We found him to be a mild,
courteous, genteel 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 a.
able, and in case he finds q town to
suit him better no should buy it and
settle there"
'.NoT This YEAR.-A correspond
emit who signs himself p. D. O. 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 u thief We don't doubt
this assertion in the least. but we are
not saying any thing: Wo have the
city printing this year ut n good, fat
price, and are not saying word"
"RETUKNED. - Major Jim Smith
created quite a sensation h-r descend
ing from the stage as it reached town
last Friday evening. We had no soon
er notified him TINT his subscription to
the Kicker hud expired than he hand
ed US two big silver dollars for re-
newal. Tho MAJOR has put in the past
year in State prison. having been sent
there by mistake, as his friends
are convinced. He served his term
like O. mun, 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 "-Detroit Free Press.
