THE ARIZONA KICKER,
Westward the Star Of Empire and
SO Forth.

SO Forth.
Among the many good things in
the last issue OF the Arizona Kicker
We extract the following, says the
Detroit Free Press:
Our Gnin.-Monday afternoon an
italian with dancing bear stru~
the town, and half an hour later Col.
oncl Siderial Thompson, assistant
register of deeds, awoke from
snooze he had been enjoying III an
arm chairin the Mighty West billiard
parlors. When the colonel saw the
bear dance he made up his booty
mind to have waltz with him. His
friends called him off, but he was pig
lea ded and obstinate and refused to
stay off. He suddenly jumped in on
the bear with Il yell and II whoop. and
being new to our ways the beast
probably supposed himself attacked.
At any rate he set to work with teeth
and claws, and so used the colonel
up in about three minutes that he
died that night. The general verdict
of the public is that his loss is our
gain. He had no enterprise as a citi-
zen, and as man some of us would
have to plant him within few weeks
any how.
Settled at Last. will be noticed
| ,lsWhere in the regular cOurtprOceed-
ings, the legal trouble between the
editor of the Kicker and Prof.
Mccall has at last been settled
and an amicable understanding
arrived at. The professor came here
about two years ago and being in
hard luck borrowed our only Sunday
shirt and fifty cents in cash. and later
on refused to either return the same
or recognize our claim. We posted
him us II dead beat and he sued us
for $4,000. We proved him II big
amist and he fired two shot at us in
front of the postotfice. We advised
lynching, and he was laid up for n
month in the attempt to horsewhip
us. The professor instituted no less
than five suits against us, and on
several different occasions planned
our assassination.
Day before yesterday, while the
professor was laying tor us with II
shotgun at the postoftice, he was
run over in a stampede OF mules.
We were the first to reach him and
render aid. He was carried to The
Kicker Office in an unconscious con
dition, and it was halt an hour before
he came to. Mutual friends seized up
on the occasion to settle the trouble
and thier efforts were successful. We
now desire to announce in italics
that the professor is an honest,
worthy gentleman, possessed of n
fine voice and we'll qualified to teach
the divine art Otmusc. On the other
hand, he subscribes for the Kicker,
paying in advance, of course, and
advertises to the extent Of $24 per
year.
Apply to the Coroner.-Just as our
outside pages were going to press
Judge knig ht called at The Kicker
office and invited us to ride out to
Lone Tree with him in his horse and
buggy, and hall an hour later we
were there. The boys had preceded
US, and we found them in circle
around "Dr. 3. b. Belinger, late Of
the Royal College of Medicine ofLon-
don-the only discoverer of n sure
cure for consumption" The doctor
has been with us about month
claiming to cure almost everything on
earth. but after his remedies had
knocked over half n dozen citizens
= the boys concluded that it was time
Tor him to drop out. He refused to
drop. Hence a committee called and
asked ll:m to take a walk. He had
, taken the walk and stood on Il barre
when We caught sight OF him. There
was a connection between the doc
tors neck and and stout limb, end
he was ~ king speech.
The dCS1Or recognized us at once
and besought us to explain to the
crowd that he was in u hurry to leave
the country. He couldn't fly, but ht
would do the next best thing. AL
though he had not advertised witt
us and he had given all his job worl
to our contemporary, we could moi
.. refuse his request. As n personal ia
vor to us boys, after letting him hang
long enough to insure good case o
sore throat. cut him down. gave hin
a nip ofwhisky and advised him to e
east. He went. The last we saw o
; him he was making suchtimeas NJ
, jackrabliD in this country can eve
hope to equal. Any one having any lie
gal claim on 1O5 bottles of cosump
tion cure, together witha machine TO
making pills, two packs of cards nm,
Office furniture valued ut 1925, will

J world at large, there is no doubt tina
