man from the society OF sll journalists in
their own limits When we reflect that
Arizona Is CRYING for admission to the
household OF states, and that il she Is adj
mitted that lop earvd critter will have TO be
taken in, too, we feel like laying aside our
pen and declaring that we will never take
it up again to argue for enlightenment and
civilization.
AN OBSTINATE NAN.-we have never
sought to convey the impression that we
conducted a Sunday school in connection
with The kICKEE or that we loved human
ity in general 20 much that it made Us
weep when a man went wrong There are
times, however. when We feel il a duty to
give n fellow mSu a pointer intended TO
benefit his moral and physical welfare.
such an occasion came to hand the other
afternoon when = stranger to this locality,
who called himself Bald Bill, shot the
hind buttons of our coat a. We were saun-
tering down Apache avenue Bill stood in
front of the White Horse saloon and did
the shooting 10 show the boys that he WAS
up in gunncry. We walked up TO him and
warned him that times had changed in this
town, and that il he wanted liberty TO
prance around he'd bctteF stop burning
powder. When we found him Sulky and
obstinate, we went out Of our way To soft
en- him up and left him believing that he
would resolve to be better citizen OF the
most glorious territory in all North Amer
lea An hour later he ambled into the
Dead Duck saloon and jumped ON a ia

Some OF the boys tried to quiet him. bot
the riprOarer's proud spirit WAS soaring
high and wouldn't come down. No one
interfered with him until he had shot the
necks of Of four decanters and split Dan
Ereeman's left ear with a bullet, and then
he sank TO earth TO rise no more. The rea-
son OF his sinking. as explained by the cor
oner, WAS owing TO the weight OF lead in
his body. The boys had not hing particular
against him, but he made them weary with
his self coucrit- While he didn't follow

grudge, aud we were the first to chip in for

The farmer glanced reproof at his daugh-
ter-in-law, for he did not like to have his
favorite ridiculed. but now they had driven
to the front door Of the spacious farm
house, and the keen eye of the old man
noted a strange figure standing at the par

running out to take the horses, full of ex-
element.

about his neck and long kiss of perfect
love and trust laid on his lips.
The visit OF Seth Warner that night
who entered familiarly, not noticing a
stranger at first, brought them an unctuous
smile to oil the greeting, which improved
the occasion:
Il trust that all are duly thankful for

farmer. He has brought Tom back. Here's

THE ARIZONA KICKER.


An Account of a one sided Dael and Its
Happy Result.
4 DISGRACE To JOCRNALISM.-On several
occasions during the past year we have
made mention of the critter down the
street whom journalistic decency compels
us to refer oaS our esteemed contemporary.
He can neither write. shoot, play poker nor
ride u bucking broncho. He has not only
made seven different attempts to asssacsr-
nate US, but has tried to steal bodies from
our private graveyard and bribed men to
set this officeson fire. On Wednesday after
noon last we met the critter at the post
Office and had some words with him, He
at once challenged us TO fight a duel, and
the affair came off in the rear Of the engine
house at O'Clock. We arrived on the
ground without weapons, while he had
anavy revolver and ~ spare cartridges. We
allowed him TO name the distance, 10 PAGES,
and we then took our station 80 feet away,
back to him, and requested him to blsze
away till he got tired. He promptly re-
sponded We stood with our hands under
our eoattails and our face to a bill board
with circus pictures on it. The critter shot
and yelled and whooped and shot, and no
body interfered with him till his last bullet
was gone. Then some OF the boys who OBJ
jected to the noise hauled him Off and
steered him in the direction of his carpet
rag foundry, and the duel was declared
over The best shot he made didn't come
within foot of Us, and most of them were
five or six feet wide OF the target

protest against this man continuing to call
himself an editor and ride about the coun-
