yesterday morning, intending to visit a
neighboring mining camp. He had
walked but a short distance when a

his gun and started to shoot, but the
COW downed him, knocking the rifle
from his hands, the gun being, dis
charged as it struck the ground, the ball

The epidemic has again broken out
among the Arizona editors. This time
it commenced with Funston of the Co.
conino Sun. He sees a drunken deer
with snakes wound round it's antlers and
a horned toad sitting on each hoof.

more numerous family. but not of so
fantastic nature. His dreams are
troubled with red-nosed burros Che is a
reformed prospector), beer-guzzling dogs
and libidinous rats that 60 in for prize
fights. Jobs, the "fat contributor" OF
the Phoenix Herald, owing, no doubt, to
the heat of the past summer, has got
'em in the shape Of mescal distllling
road runners and Gila monsters that get
pugnaciously drunk and tear up things
generally. As member of the Blue
Ribbon order the Herald would advise
our brother pencil-pushers to stop.
