We take the following items from thu
last issue of the Arizona Kicker:
IT HAS FALLEN.-Mr. Wanamaker ha
refused to appoint Us to the postmastershiI
of this town. The blow has at length
fallen. Honesty, integrity, merit, intelli
gence and enthusiasm has gone for nsught
A wall-eyed, hump-backed ignoramus
who can't spell gum, and can scarcely ado
2 and 2, is retained in preference.
Do we turn the other cheek?
Not much! The first thing we did aftel
receiving the news last night was to burr
up vest which was purchased at Wanna
makers ten years ago. We shall never
never buy another dud from his establish
ment. We ask orr friends to make thu
same resolve. The Nero must be brought
to terms. His naughty form must bt
rubbed in the dust He must be given Il
understand that the bulWarks of American
liberty still tower sloft, and that no free
born American can be trampled on with
impunity.

PAINFUL. ACCIDRNT-Togethe with
about twenty other gentlemen, we were
sitting in front Of the Crook House last
Tuesday evening, when the Tuscon stage
suddenly drove up. having Unexpectedly
arrived fifteen minutes ahead Of time. One
of the outside passengers had the appear
ance of detective, and there was asuddeu
scatteration of loungers. TWAS laughable
to see Col. Jones, Msj. Wickham, Judge
Perdue, Prof. Wise ard 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 believ'
ing that he had been sent for for barn burn
ing, or horse stealing, fell over bench in
his hurry to abscond and broke his left
leg, and it will probably be two months
before he will be able to be about again.
A POSSIBLE MISTAKE Col. Keno Jones'
who was pulled up to limb By the boys
the other night SO warning that no snide
games will be allowed in any gambling
house in this bailiwick, has called at TIL,
Kicker office to protest that we were mis-
taken in the way we sized him up in ouI
local columns. He showed us letters OF
recommendation from prominent psrtie;
in Washington, Philadelphia and New
York, and he exhibited the Testament
given him by his mother twenty-thret
years ago and worn over his heart ever
since.
We may possibly have been mistaken If
writing the gentleman up as a forger, en-
bezzler, bigamist and escaped convict, au6
in encouraging the boys to pull his mech
as a warning. If so, we are very sorry
The only way he can satisfy us of his in
tegrity is to frown upon anything like 6
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
used as neckties for bad men. 1t vii
stand the greatest strain, run easier, Fl
tighter, and give more general satisfaction
than any other hanging rope in the mar
ket. No matter what sort of neck {
man has, this rope settles to the right spo
at once. We sell it in twenty foot length
at s. per length, and where more is want
ed the price will be made satisfactory
Give us a call before purchasing else
where.
