THE ARIZONA KICKER.
A Few Trenohant Remarks from an Es.
teonied Contemporary.

teomed Contemporary.
PAINFUL ACCIDENT. Together with about
twenty other gentlemen, we were sitting in
front Of the Crook house last Tuesday even
ing when the. Tucson stage suddenly drove
up having unexpectedly arrived fifteen min.
utes ahead of time One Of the outside pas.
sengers had the appearance Of a detective,
and there was a sudden scatteration of loung
ers. 1t was laughable to see Col Jones, Maj
Wickham, 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
been sent for for barn burning, or horse steal
ing, fell over a bench in his hurry to abscond
and broke his left leg, and it viii probably he
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 a warning that no snide games
will be allowed in any gambling house in this
bailiwick, has called at The Kicker Office to
protest that we were mistaken in the way we
sized him up In our local columns Heshowed
us letters of recommendation from prominent
parties in Washington, Philadelphia and New
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 a forger, em-
bezzler bigamist and escaped convict and in
encouraging the boys to pull his neck as a
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 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 mo. G. rope
This rope, as most of our readers are aware,
is made for and exclusively u1ed 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 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 call before purchasing elsewhere,
THERE Is ONE.=-In answer to Correspond
entn last week, who asked If there was a
railroad line running through this town, we
replied that if such a line existed we had
never heard Of 1t in the two years of our stay.
We now desire TO inform him that there is n
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; 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
| a good thing as it is, and we don't sigh for
the whole earth.-Detroit Free Press.
