THE ARIZONA KICKER.

We extract the following from the last !
Issue of The Arizona Kicker.
mot A MUKDRR.-The other morning
Hank Poole, q veteran old bum and
buffer Of this locality, was found dead |
In Goldfish alley, about ten feet from the
door OF the Red Jacket saloon. lie had
received about thirty buck-shot, and had
been dead tor some hours when discov-
cred. 1t was, of course. suspected that
he had been killed in row 10 the saloon,
and the sheriff was wabtlipg around
with halt dozen warrants IN his hand
when we stepped In and threw . light Of
$50 csndle-power on the situation.
cat about midnight on the previous
night someone kicked on our office door,
aud when we called out to know who
was there rock was hurled through
one OF the windows. We slid out Of
bed, grabbed our shot gun, and fred
into the rect through the same window,
supposiug 'the boys wanted ZONE fun
with US. We heard acme one run away,
and have no doubt that Hank Po lie was
the target of our buck-sbot. Hank has
been down on us ever since we sliced of
his lett eur q year ago IN front of the
postofiice, and within two days he has
been heard 10 declare that he would have
our life.
| "The coroner's Jury acquitted rs OF all
penees. which footed up 20. 30. We arc
not complaining any. Any man is liable
to kill one Of bis fel,ow-creatures out
here any hour 10 the DAY, and 1t 10 only
fair that he should se0 the body decently
laid away. We are sorry that Hank
didn't meet rs on the streot IN daylip lit,
aud thus have better show, hut - he
chose bis own way NO one 10 TO blame
but himself."
"HE WILL, En2-The other day,
when We raw Judge Saunders steering =
Boston man around the country, We felt
carpet, and We arranged Tor private
interview with the teuderioot The result
justified our anticipstions. The Judge
