We extract the following from the last b.
sue of The Arizona Kicker:
A DOUBLE HIr-Last week certain folks
who want to see US downed were chackling
because we were not invited to the grand au-
tumn soiree given by Mrs Judge Glider
sleeve, Of Jackass Heights 1t was a social
snub on us, we'll admit. but the aforesaid
chuckling has ceased. 1t broke short off day
before yesterday when the sheriff arrived
from Omaha and tapped the judge on the
shoulder and asked him how the business Of
COW stealing got along.
We've had the biography Of the judge in
hand for some months. He robbed a post
office in Illinois, stole hogs in Iowa and en-
bezzled from q toll bridge in Indiana On
top of that he stole cows in Nebraska, and
when his wife made cold mutton of us we
went down to the telegraph Office and dis
patched the sheriff to come on. We think
we are about even. 1t is not the policy of
this paper, as we have often stated, to de-
plete our population by giving away" our
citizens, but no one must try any monkey
shines with u.s. We are here to stay.
he STEPPED-In our last issue we called at
tention to the fact that William Parton, IA
military known as 'Baldheaded BILL had
succeeded III securing the nomination for al
derman of the second ward on the Peoples
Reform ticket We didn't go much on the
reform business, to begin with, and we went
considerably less OH William. We kindly
mentioned the fact to him that he was an
old soaker, q man who never paid a debt,
and that he escaped indictHent for stealing
the bridge funds by a flaw In hrotherly
way we asked him to step down and out, but
instead of needing our well meant advice he
came hunting for Us with shotgun.
Then we had to exhibit certain documents
to the good people to prove that Williams
true home was in state prison, and it was de
cided to get move on him. Some one gave
the snap away, however, and he was a mile
or moro away when the people called at his
cabin and asked him to come out and play pen
dulum
We are heavy on genuine reform in poll
tics, but we can't be made to believe that the
way TO begin it is TO nominate thief to Of
fee
THE WEATHER.-Our subscribers have
been both surprised and pleased at the way
we have hit the weather for the last two
weeks. We didn't expect to do so well in the
start off, as the only instrument we had was
an old horse shoe, two foot rule and war
map of the battle of Gettysburg, but we made
no mistake.
Our first prediction was that the following
week would be cold, clear, cloudy, warm and
variable, with possibly rain.
We hit it even to the variable. She varied
from frost to such hot night that every
body kicked the quilts off. The rain didn't
last but three days. but that was sufficient to
let us out.
Our second prediction also hit it pat. We
predicted winds, Gains, sunshine, clouds,
high pressure over the Arctic ocean, and low
pressure around the mouth Of the Amazon,
with considerable wobble between here and
the Pacific She wobbled. We got just
what we expected, and from this out we are
going ahead like scared iacR rabbit hunt
ing for cover. Watch our smoke.-Detroit
