We extract the following from the last
issue OF The Arizona Kicker:
ALWAYS IN THk LEAD Last week We
established a new department in The Kicker
that Of answering questions concerning dis
puted points on games Of chance, We'll "a
making decisions thereon. These games will
include euchre, old sledge, seven up. pedro.
Whist. keno, faro, roulette, etc. taking in, in
fact, each and every game known TO the
sporting world.
This department will be edited BY an old
gambler Of thirty years experience, aud
who carries seven knife wounds and the
scars of four bullets as proofs OF hi literary
caliber.
The fact that such department hit the
bulls eve is evidenced by the tact that We
have added twenty-one new subscribers
within week and they are siill coming
We were intending to devote Tins space 10
religious news, but after looking the ground
over, and discovering that there was none to
chronicle We gave way 10 the urgent de
mands Of the bows and instituted the neN lie
parture. 1t j. the general belief that this
will do more TO bonm our town than il

This new weapon adds to our editorial zeal
and enterprise, and puts The Kicker on a
