 Kicker contains the following:
 PLEASE EXCUSE. explanation of the absence of our agricultural department this week, desire tc state that the literary genius, wht has been presiding over that depart ment for the lest six weeks is off or A drunk. It is the perogative ol every man in this country to get drunk. It is a privilege which cant be denied them with safety. This chap agreed not to go on spree oftener than once in a fortnight but has been swizzled half of his time, It is our third attempt to run an agricultural department, and 1t will be the last. The space will here after be occupied with ricipes for badness, remedies for bow-legged and short talks on the diseases of mules and how to cure them. We can steal this stuff from our ex- changes and have nothing to bur den our mind.
 GONE HoME.-During the past week Major O'Connor, Judge Peg gram and Hon. Tacony Jones, shin lights of this neighborhood and our leading members of sopiety, have been called for by Eastern detectives and returned to their several homes towards sunrise to be tried for their several crimes. While we are sorry to see our population thus depleted we know that justice must be done. The only wonder is that so few were called for. We are certain that at least twenty-five of our leading citi- zens break into cold sweat every time a stranger strikes the town.
 HE GoT.-We were deputized at a meeting held last Wednesday night to wait on Turkey Bill and offer him one hour to leave the town. Turkey is little too pre- vious for this community in his way of handling a gun, and 1t wal deemed best co give him a gentle hint. We found him in the Gen saloon, offered him his choice be tween the highway to Tucson and hangman's rope, and he took thu highway. He didn't take the hour but started as soon as he could gel glass of whiskey and a cold rab bit sandwich.
 No REBALE.-We desire to stat in the most explicit manner that m rebate will be allowed to any of ou subscribers who may be obliged t leave town fer the benefit of tn community, or who may be hun and buried for the same reason. Ii several late instances friends of sucl subscribers have called on us am asked to cash up for the unexpire' term, but we have invariably rc fused. Subscriptions to the Kicke run for one year. We contract t deliver the paper for that time. ] the subscriber is arrested, driven of or hung it is no fault of ours. Pleas bear this in mind and save you selves trouble.
 HE MIssED.-Our esteemed COT temporary down the avenue didn like the way we showed him up las week, and OF Monday he borrowe  n revolver from Sam Adams as lon as his leg and lay in ambush for U at the corner of Apache and Castu avenues. As we appeared, on ou way to the postoffice, he opeDe fire and six shots were fired at us z distance of not more than te feet. Not one of them came withi a foot of us, but the shooter di manage to wound Q S200 mule b. longing to Lew Baker, and to kill $50 dog belonging to Judge Stokel When he was through shuottng W knocked him down and hammere him until he hollered. We under stand that he has settled with tn other for Sl50 and that he is talk ing of leaving town. He'd better If he had ever any standing here he's lost it now for sure. A mal who holds gun in both hands am shpts his eyes to shoot is of n account in this district. The cove tes wouldn't bark at him.-Det Free Press.
