THE ARIZONA KICKER.
Some Truthful Facts From Truth
full James.

Detroit Free Press.
We extract the following items from
the last issue of the Arizona Kicker:
1t Has Fallen-Mr. Wanamaker has
refused to appoint us to the postmaster
ship of this town. The blow has at
length fallen. Honesty, integrity, merit,
intelligence and enthusiasm have gone
for naught. A wall-eyed, hump-backed
ignoramuS, who can't spell gum, and
can scarcely add two and two, is re-
tanned in preference.
DO we turn the other cheek?
Not much! The first thing we did
after receiving the news last night was
to burn up vest which was purchased
at Wanamaker's ten years ago. We
shall never, never buy another dud from
his establishment. We ask our friends
to make the same resolve. The Nero
must be brought to terms. His naughty
form must be rubbed in the dust. He
must be given to understand that the
bulwarks of American liberty still
tower aloft, and that no free-born
American can be trampled ON with i'm
punity.
Sic Semper tyr annis! Which mean
that we have camped ON his trail.
Painful Accident. - Together with
about twenty other gentlemen, we were
sitting in front of the Crook house last
Tuesday evening, when the Tucson
stage suddenly drove up, having unex-
pectedly arrived fifteen minutes ahead
of time. One of the outside passengers
had the appearance of detective, and
there was sudden scatteration of
loungers. 1t was laughable to see Col.
Jones. Maj. Wiekham, Judge Perdue,
IEn md nft f,,r,a hi ,nl,
other as they broke for the sage brush.
An unfortunate accident occurred in
this connection. Hon. Timothy Shocks,
late of Indiana, probably believing that
he had been sent for for barn-burning
or horse-stealing, fell over bench in
his hurry to abSc0nd and broke his left
leg, and it will probably be two months
before he will be able to be about again.
A Possible Mistake-Col. Keno Jones,
who was pulled up to a limb by the
boys the other night as warning that
no snide games will be allowed in any
gambling house i'll the bailiwick, has
called at the Kicker office to protest
that we were mistaken in the way we
sized him up in our local columns. He
showed us letters of recommendation
from prominent parties IN Washington,
L
hibited the Testament given to him by
his mother twenty-three years ago, and
worn over his heart ever since.
We may possibly have been mistaken
in writing the gentleman up as fOrger.
embezzler, bigamiSt and an escaped
convict, and in encouraging the boys to
pull his neck as warning. If so, we
are very sorry. The only way he can
satisfy US of his integrity is to frown
upon anything like a skin game in his
establishment in the future.
Sole Agent.-We have been appointed
sole agent in this town for the Ken
lucky Hemp company, limited, and will
be the only one handling their famous
"NO. 81 rope. This rope. as most of our
readers are aware, is made and ex-
cluSively used as necktieS 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 neck man has, this rope set
ties to the right spot at once. We sell
it in twentyfoot length, at 50 per
length, and where more is wanted the
price will be made satisfactory. Give
US call before purchasing elsewhere.
There Is One.-In answer to "Corres-
pondent'' last week, who asked if there
was railroad line running through this
town, we replied that if such line eX-
listed we had never heard of it in the
two years of our stay. We now desire
to inform him that there is line-a
branch of the U. P. road-and that 1T
runs two trains per day and gives excel
lent service.
The manager of the line. Ben Davis,
called at our Office yesterday and hand
ed US an annual pass over the line, and
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 the town.
Not Yet.-We have been often asked
why we did not establish Daily Kick
er, and many individuals have promised
us their hearty support. In the first
place, we are running under one roof
great weekly newspaper, harness
shop. grocery. feed store and 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 cal tn.
