A "COLORADO KICKER"
Some Highly Interesting Items From
the Hoylokc Advocate.

| The new town of Holyole, Colo, just
across the Nebraska line, has an enter
| prising paper called the Advocate.
| Among the interesting items which ap-
peared in its last issue are the follow
| ing:
During the progress of the Sullivan
Pearson hearing, witness was asked
by defendants attorney: "When you
| first entered the saloon did not Mr..
Sullivan treat you kindly2" The wit
| ness, in a straightforward and honest
tone, replied: 'No, sir. He didn't
treat us at ALL"
Fred Brobst sued us for stealing his
leads and slugs from his outfit. After
hearing our side and hearing him de-
libcrately lie under oath, the justice
threw the case out without hearing any
more testimony and charged it all up to
Brobst. How they will get the cost
uever known to pay anything he could
get out of. If he was not able, it would
be different, but he simply wont pay.
We heard it said he owes for his wife's
coffin to this day. Oh, he's bird.
Hog Anderson and his man Brobst
have reaped the harvest that comes us
a reward for perjury and low-livednes
which these gentlemen have done dur
ing their short stay in this city. They
are despised and abhorred by all the
citizens of this community. They have
fully branded themselves with an obi
Gus name. Have demonstrated their
lack of faith in God, and their con-
tempt for honor. They have shown
how little they care for an oath by their
brazen conduct on the witness stand.
Had these men two grains of common
sense to cubic inch of brain, they
able mon, like whipped ours.
Hog Anderson gets his work In on
one more unfortunate. He forccloses
on Old Man King. sickness in his fam
lily and poor business places Mr.. King
in the clutches of this human vampire.
Shylock will have his pound of flesh,
On Monday evening, between the
hours OF A and S o'clock, shooting
scrape took place in Sullivan Bros
JEFF Pearsoll, the ball entering the left
breast just above the nipple. Fortu-
nately the ball struck Il rib and ran
around the side, lodging under the
shoulder. This man Pearsoll has on
former occasions played the bad man
act in the above mentioned place, shoot
ing through the floor and fourishing his
gun with the usual amount OF dime
novel quotations, cleaned out the Pate
hotel, and his success in his former acts
had evidently impressed him that he
was TO be the Billy the Kid of his time.
What Pearsol did in the saloon TO
provoke the shooting we have not
yet learned. Reports are conflict
ing, but that he gave sufficient
cause for Sullivan defending himself
and getting the first shot is understood.
The days for blood and thunder acts and
individuals starting grave yards OF
their own, it would seem have gone by.
We think the young man has learned
lesson, and will take 1t we'll into his
heart and try in the future more
genial path OF life.
Later-As We go to press we learn
that Sullivan was acquitted.
Fred Thompson the editor OF the Sun,
was smacked over the mouth bya young
lady on the street on Tuesday for insult
ingly coughing at her when she passed
him on the street. Thompson is just
starting out in life, perhaps too young
to see right from wrong, and may have
thought his actions smart, but the re-
buAte he received will, no doubt, teach
him a lesson. 1t don't pay TO be too flip
in this western country.
