THE ARIZONA KICKER.
A. Few Trenehant Remarks from an Es-
teemed Contemporary.

| PAINFUL Acknowledged with about
twenty other gentlemen, we were sitting In
! front of tbs 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 detective,
| and there was a sudden scatteration OF ioung-
| ers. It 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. OF horse steal
| ing, fell over bench in bus hurry to abscond
and broke his left leg, and it win probably be
two months before he will be able 70 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 slide games
will be allowed in any gambling house in this
! bailiwlclS, 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, Philadelphia and New
York, and he exhibited the Testament given
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, EN-
bezzler, bigamist and escaped convict, and in
encouraging the boys to pull his neck as a
warning If 50, we are very sorry. The only
way he can satisfy us of his integrity is to
frown upon anything like a skin game in mis-
establishment in future
SOLE Agent have been appointed
sole agent in this town for the Kentucky
Hemp company, limited, and will be the on.
one handling their famous mo. g. rope
This rope, as most Of our readers are aware,
is made for and exclusively used as neckties
for bad men. It 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 a call before purchasing elsewhere.
THERE Is ONE.-in answer 10 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 it in the two years of our stay.
We nowsdeslre to inform him thet there is a
hne-a branch of the e. 2. 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.
NOT YET.-We have often been asked
why we did not establish a 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, 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.
