Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1889-09-12

born American can be trampled on with
lmpUnlty. Sic semper tyranuisi Which
means that we have camped ON his trail
Painful Accl lent 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
minutes ahead Of time One OF the out
side passengers had the appearance Of %
detective, and there was general scatter
ing Of loungers. 1t was laughable to see
Col. Jones, Mai. Wickham. Judge Perdue,
Prof. 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-hurning or horse
stealing fell over bench in his hurry to
abscond and broke his left leg and 1t will
probably be two months before he viii be
able to be about again.
Possible Mistake Col. keho Jones, who
was pulled up to a limb 10y the boys the
other night as a warning that no snide
games will be allowed in any gambling
house in this bailiwick, has called nc the
Kicker office to protest that we were mis-
taken i'm the way we sized him up i'm our
local columns lie showed us letter of
recommendation from prominent parties
in Washington, Philadelphia. and New
York, and he exhibited the testament given
HIM 10y his mother twenty-three years ago
and worn over his heart ever since We
may possibly have been mistaken in writ
ing the gentleman up as a forger, embez-
zler, bigamlSt, and escaped convict. and in
encouraging the boys to pull his neck as a
warning. II so, we are very sorry The
only way he can satisfy us of his integrity
is to trown upon anything like 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. s.
rope. This rope, as most of our readers
are aware, is made for and is exclusively
used as necties for bad men. 1t will stand
the gre test strain, run easier, fit tighter
and q, e more general satisfaction than
any other hanging rope in the market, No
matter what sort of a neck a man has this
rope settles to the right spot at once. We
sell it in twenty-foot lengths at 81 per
length, and where more is wanted the
price will be made satisfactory. Give us "a
call before purchasing elsewhere.
There Is One-ln answer to Correspond
ent last week, who asked if there was a
railroad line running through this town,
we replied that if such line existed we
had never heard Of it in the two years of
our stay. We now desire to inform
him that there is line branch
of the Union Pacific road and that it runs
two trains per day and gives excellent sery-
ice The manager of the line, 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 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, a gro
Gerry, a feed store, and a 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 II 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.
