WE CAN'T Do IT.-Three weeks ago our
esteemed fellow townsman, Colonel White,
repainted the front Of his saloon ON MoQuis
avenue. Two days ago he stopped his sub
scrfption to TIE KICKER because the i'm
provement had mot been chronicIed. We,
understand that ex-Judgs Williams Is also
down on US because we failed to mention
the fact that he had put down 80 feet Of
board sidewalk. Sixmonths ago, when we
changed from local to, a metropolitan
Journal, we gave notice Of a change Of pol
Icy. In carrying out that policy we must
eschew such local matters as our laundress
scalding her left thumb, Major Green set
ting out new hitching post, Colonel Clark
building kitchen to his house or the Hon.
Joseph Burns cutting q new doorway at
the back Of his real estate office. We shall
svsm refuse 70 mention ths receipt Of tur-
nips, potatoes or butter sent In by our
country hiends and well wishets Not one
Of the great New York journals would
think Of announcing that the editor had
been presented with box Of celluloid col
Lars or rope halter for,his mule, or that
some grocer had laid three bass Of beautiful
soap on his table There isn't single
journal Ia Chicago, Philadelphia or Boston
which acknowledge the gift Of fresh
mince pie or chronicles the fact that the
popular Mr.. Blank has extended his saloon
counter 70 feet and put In beer cooler cost

He FOUND Us.-Just before noon on
Wednesday we received word BY telephone
from Lone Tree that astranger who had been
hanging around that town for several days
and making many inquiries about us had
started for this town ON faded and wind
broken mule. Il was added that he had
two guns and knife and blood In his eye,
and that We had better look out. When we
know for sure that critter Is camping on
our trail, we feel Like having It over with
- soon - possible. After dinner we mount
ed our mule and rode put TO meet the
stranger. We sighted him while he was
yes mile away. He found us at about
the same time. As soon as our mule, know
ing what was coming, began to amble and
cavort, the stranger grew discouraged and
turned tail. When we got within ~ rods
Of him, he vacated his mule and took to
the scrub, and while we are no physiogno-
mist 1t is our firm belief that he was bad
ly frightened man. We also dismounted
and ran him for . mile, but he seemed TO
have an electric motor in each boot. We
brought his mule into town with us, but no
one can identify the beast. He looks like
Mormon mule, but may have come from
the Bad Lands of New Mexico. We shall
sell him at auction next Tuesday for the
benefit Of the sewerage fund. We were
disappointed In the stranger, but Of course
we can't expect things to always go our
way. He ought to at least subscribe for THE
KICKER for the bother and trouble we went
to In the matter.
