We extract the following from the
last issue of the Arizona Kicker:
THAsRs, GENTLEMEN.-On Mon
day evening II committee of proml-
nent citizens waited on us and ten-
dered us the nomination for leuten-
ant governor of this state, accomps-
MED by such words of praise and es-
TEEN Ns brought tears TO our eyes.
While we had to decline the noml-
nation, owing 10 the pressure Of our
private business, the spirit which
actuatcd those gentlemen win make
IA better man Of us. There Is every
thing to encourage Western ed
itor to get up and hump himself

wouldn't exchange our present 20.

would throw la ten sunday schools

Tue JUDGE HAS GoNE. - Mov
than three months ago the Kicker
very kindly but firmly informed
Judge Grldlcy that this wasn't the
climate he was seeking after, and
once or twice since we have cour-
teously inquired why he didn't yet

day night n committee waited ON
the judge. II had II rope along, and

When let down for good he had a
gargle for sore throat put up at the
nearest drug store aud then walked.

CRess- EYED SHOOTING. - Last
week we advised that piutc Joe,
who runs the little doggery Just be-
yond the postOiiico, lie given two
days time in which to pack his
traps and vncate the place, We
thought two days very liberal time,
but Joe differed with us, and en-.
couragcd 10y that old sot, Steve
Springer, he laid for us In front Of
the Palace hotel as We wcrc 20
dinner. The first thing We knew
Joe's bullets Were flying all AROUND
Us, and he standing only six feet
away. Hy blaZed his six shots,
wounding two of our citizens, as
reported elsewhere, and then we
took him 10y the neck and broke
him IN two over IL hitching post
We were entirely unhnrined, but
we knew Joe was crOSS-cycd and
couldn't shoot for shuCks, The
doctor says he will bc I'm bed for
several weeks, and perhaps he
cripple for life.

If this climate IL good for asthma.
That's according. We have known
men to come here and get their
breath withIn u week, and others to
lose 1t inside of three days. a great
deal depends on the patient. IL Inc
comes here with his mind made up
To play ol.r game, drink our whisky
and mix In with our society his
asthma will soon leave him. If he

one of our tOwnsmou Will very like.

some of them are taken here for
their African missionary news, and
Others for their market quotations
on coyote and rabbit pclts, but they
are not considered w. rivals In our
field. The Kicker not only enjoys
"a field peculiarly its own, butts
backed by u grocery, feed store,
hardware, butcher shop, harness
shop, shoe store and job printing
Office, all under one roof and one
grand manEgcmcnt-the only in-ti'
tuition of its kind in North America.
"ASNiE G,"-'rhls correspondent
wants Us to give her the author OF
the poem beginning:
have loved thee m any years, Mary,
Aud shall love thee till die,
1t was written 10y William Tell,
Swiss gentleman, whose principal
business was shooting tyrants, but
who had n moment to spare now ana
then for the muse. We can go itlrth-
er and tell you something else you
do not know-Willinm IL dead yes,
been dead quite little time, and all
requests for autographs will be time
thrown away. Mr.. Tell was a law
abiding citizen, always closing MS
saloon ON holidays and Sundays
and ns far as we know lie died nap
py and made all arrangements 70
pay off his debts in hard cash.
