Some Truthful Facts From Truthful James.
We take the following items from the
last issue Of the Arizona Kicker
IT Has FALLEN Mr.. Wanamak er
has refused to appoint us to the post
mastership of this town. The blow has
at length fallen. Honesty, integrity,
merit, intelligence and enthuiasm have
gone for naught. A wall-eyed, hump
backed ignoramus, who can't spell gum.
and can scarcely add and 2, is retained
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
1 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 inn
punity.
Sic Semper tJr0nnisi Which means
that We have camped on his trail.
PAINFUL ACCIDENT Together with
about twenty other gentlemen, we We're
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 q sudden scatteration of
loungers. 1t was laughabe to see Col.
Jones, Maj. Wickham, Judge Perdue,
Prof. 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 be-
lieying that he had been sent for for
barn burning, or horse stealing, fell
over bench in his hurry to abscond
and broke his left leg, and it will pro-
badly be two months before he will be
able to be about again.
A POSSIBLE MIsTAKE-Col. Keno
Jones, who was pulled up to limb by
the boys the other night as a warning
that no snide games will be allowed in
any gambling house in this bailiwick,
has called at the Kicker Office to pro-
test that we were mistaken in the way
we sized him up in our local columns.
He showed us letters of recommends
ton from prominent parties in Wash
ington, Philadelphia aud New York,
and he exhibited the Testament given
1. H.. L. .txv-t
ago and worn over his heart ever since
We may possibly .haye been mistaken
in writing the gentleman up as forger
embezzler, bigamist and escaped con-
vict. and in encouraging the boys to
pull his neck as warning. II so, we
are very sorry. The only way he can
satisfy us of his integrity is to frown
upon anything like skin game in his
establishment in the future.
SOLE AGENT. We have been APP
pointed 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 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 a neck man has this rope
settles to the right spot at once. We
sell it in twenty foot lengths at 81 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 Cor
respondent" last week, who asked if
there was n railroad line running
through this town. we replied that If
snch line existed 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 L. 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 i'll 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 news
paper, a harness shop, 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.
