II DDN'T FAm~-LsSt Saturday the
Granite Hi Savings bank. q tins IOWA,
failed 70 open Us d0ors. snG a notice was
posted up u ths efect that II w0ala open
IA about = week and pay at least rfty
cents on the dollar. The boys got 70
gethsr about l0o'clock, and Mr.. DOggAn,
the president, Was invited Io explain
matters DE said he hSdRt time just
then, bat after rope had been passed
over his neck he eSplSized that tie tsl-
Ure had been caused by oseroonndence
IA silver mine investments TIE boys
doubted tins and M Duggan was taken
l. tie bank and compelled 70 show has
books aud his cash AFTER figuring Tor
about two hours COMMITTEES found that
there was money enough u pey every
deposltor tl.z7 Gu the dollar, and II was
accordingly passed out and the bank
wound up Ia shipsh&pe fashion II was
no tGLsre. but simply going oar Of busa-
ness. Mr.. DuggSn had calculated on q
little scoop. but the boys got ahead Of
him. He left town on foot, carrying a
spare paper collar IN has hind pocket.
and he VIII probably look for some hay
seed town in which 70 begin life anew.
We have failure here IN trade now ana
then BAT We permit 10 bank 10 fail IN
less al depositors are first paid III full
foR OTHER FIELDs. Ds.-Ex-Judge Jim
Harrison. who has been familiar figure
on our streets for the last year. and who
was supposed 10 be retired -four ner-
chant from Minnesota, out here 10 cure
his asthma, is with US no more. he de-
parted yesterday IN charge OF detective,
and wiu bring up at Joliet as the end Of
his journey.
Judge Jim objected % the course Of
The Kicker. lie didn't Ike Us one bit,
and when be saw Us walking 10 the
front he felt II personal hit al himself.
He threw out his hints that we were
trying 70 run the town, but that he
would make Us chew cactus before be
was done with Us. One DAY two weeks
ago he tried 10 force Us into a personal
quarrel, and we learned afterwsrd that
he had Derr;nger IN his pants pocket
and snapped at US, but Il failed 70 90 of.
Believing that We could run the town
better than the judge we began hunting
up his pedigree, and in the course Of a
week discovered that he was an escaped
gentleman" from state prison. he went
away saying that he owed Us one, but as
he has seven years yet 20 serve we shant
begin 10 worry for some time yet.
STILL HARPNG.-Our jealous minded
contemporary is still giving himself away
in every issue of his poor old senile sheet,
and such subscribers as lie has take 1t
for the sole object Of seeing what be says
about us. The hair that broke the cam
els back was our private graveyard
When we went 70 an expense of $50 10
remove the seven bodies 10 nice little
plat of ground, and TO identify each
grave with a nice headboard, his gall
bursted. He had no private graveyard.
He went out toshoot somebody, but was
knocked into the sand and his gun con-
fiscated. He hasn't the nerve 10 even
throw mud at an Indian.
Poor old mani Poor old contemporary
Your sun went down kerchunk when
The Kicker was established, and you
have been crawling in the moonlight
ever since. Blow away if it does your
soul good. 1t doesn't hurt Us any, and
but for this escape valve you might take
rat poison or roll into the river.-Detroit
