SOME QUESTIONS ANswERED.-THE KICK
Err Is in receipt of a letter from a young
man in Connecticut who says he is 90
years old, has pink ears, small feet and a
lisp in his voice, and he wants to know if
he can come out to Arizona and be a ter
Tor and climb up. We don't want to raise
any false hopes in this pink cared young
mans breast and must therefore reply
that 1t wouldn't pay him to come out
here. AT his home in New Haven he can
go around with a clOthesprOp o n his shout
der and blood in his eye and scare folks
half to death, but out here the situation
woul be quite different. He might lisp
and lisp, and he might swear by his creas-
ed trousers that he'd slept with grizzly
bars and wintered with rattlesnakes, but
If anybody minded him it would be to use
him to stir up the sugar in a glass OF tod
dy or for a temporary t%oothpick. No, my
son, don't banker to be bad-nO in the
west. In the east, as we understand it, p
young man weighing 90 pounds and arm
ed with a mop handle can stalk around
and give policemen palpitatiOn of the
heart, but the cattle flies would carry him
off out here. We don't advise you to be
good, but don come west with those pink
ears.
A letter was received last week from ST.
Louis making inquiries about a man na1n-
ed William Pell, who reached this town
last fall and wrote back home to his sis
ter that he was well. had a good thing in
view and was SO much in love with the
country that he had concluded to stay here.
A brief call at the coroner's Office eEiaDIed
us to give full particulars. We found that
Mr.. Pell arrived here, as stated, The good
thing he had in view was a $3.50 mule be-
longing to Colonel Davis ranch. He got
the mule one night in October, and then
his conclusion to remain in the country
Indefinitely was confirmed by the action
of the crowd, which followed him 22 miles
next day and ovcrhauled him just below
Tom Jones bend. Everything goes to
prove that William will be a resident Of
this domain for man years to come, and
it may be a burden off his sisters mind to
know that he can't be hurt by a stampede
of steers nor mOrtally injured by a kick
from a mule.
The mayor of a new town in Montana
called Paradise has written to inquire
what manual we use in the proceedings OF
our common council. We reply that we
use no particular manual. We believe
they do in New York, Boston, Chicago and
other eastern cities, but the thing would
be a failure here. For instance, if Alder
man Tom Scovillc wanted to repeal the
ordinance making it a misdcmcanOr to
shoot holes in a strangers hat, no manual
on the face of this earth would shut him
UP He'd get up and roar about Russian
tyranny and American liberty and pound
on the table and shoot the chimncys off
the lamps, and the council would have to
repeal or adjourn. The way we run things
rs mayor and president of the council is
20 keep an eye on Tom. When he begins
to hitch around on his chair and work his
ears, we know what's coming. By the
time he is on his feet and has inquired
whittier this country is drifting we have
the muzzle Of Il six shOoter on a line with
his left eye, and he heavcs a sigh and sits
