A Young Man Who Wanted to be A
Western Terror-The Fate OF
William Pell-The Mayor
az Paradise

Some Questions Answered.-The
Kicker is in receipt of letter from
ayoung man in Connecticut who says
he is % years old, has pink ears,
small feet and lisp in his voice, and
he wants to know if he can come out
to Arizona and be terror and climb
up. We don't want to raise any
false hopes in this pink cared young
mans breast and must therefore re
ply that it wouldn't pay him to come
out here. At his home in New Haven
he can go around with a clothesprop
on his shoulder and blood in his eye
and scare folks half to death, but out
here the situation would be quite
different. He might lisp and lisp,
and he might swear by his creased
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
glass of toddy or for temporary
toothpick. No, my son, don't hank
er to be bad-not in the west In the
east, as we understand it, a young
man weighing 30 pounds and armed
with a mop handle can stalk around
and give policemen palpitation of the
heart, but the cattle flies would car
ry him off out here. We don't ad
wise you to be good, but don't come
west with those pink ears.
A letter was received last week
from st. Louis making inquiries
about a man named William Pel,
who reached this town last fall and
wrote back home to his sister 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 coro-
ner's office enabled 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
belonging to Col onel Davis ranch.
lie got the mule one night in Octo-
her, ana then his conclusion to re-
main in the country indefinitely was
confirmed by the action of the crowd
which followed him % miles next
day and overhauled him just below
Tom Jones bend. Everything goes
to prove that William will be a resi-
dent of this domain for many years
to come, and it may be a burden off
his sisters mind to know that he
can't be hurt by stampede of steers
nor mortally injured by kick from
mule.
The mayor of new town in Men
tana 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 east
ern cities, but the thing would be q
failure here. For instance, if Alder
man Tom Scoville wanted to repeal
the ordinance making it misde-
meanor 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 chimneys off
the lamps, and the council would
have to repeal or adjourn. The way
we run things as mayor and presi-
dent of the council, is to 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 inquir-
ed whittier this country is drifting
we have the muzzle of a six shooter
on a line with his left eye, and he
heaves sigh and sits down. Emer-
gencies and exegeneies are always
bobbing up in council meetings in q
new town. For instance at the regu-
lar meeting last Tuesday evening,
when everything was moving off as
slick as landslide after 20 days of
steady rain, the alderman from the
First ward got up and moved the
previous question when there was no
previous question to move, but when
the alderman from the second ward
told him so the honorable gentleman
called him a sterilized liar No man
ual was ever invented to cover such
case. Anything to get between
those two statesmen and prevent
shooting must move at the rate of
100 miles an hour. 1t moved We
got there and held on to both men
till the city clerk could remove their
guns, and five minutes later it was
all over.
