THE ARIZONA KICKER.
A Few Old Scores Paid OF by the Agricul-
tural Editor.

This article is not written by the editor,
publisher and proprietor of The KICKER,
who Is also mayor, territorial senator and a
candidate for the postmastership, but by
his agricultural editor, whose salary is s.
per week and whose duties mainly consist
of writing up biographies of the cactus and
hunting for Il new breed of mule grass. The
proprietor left for Tombstone the other day
to meet an editor who had challenged him
to a game of draw poker-best three out of
hve-S50 ante and no limit to the game.
Our chief will return home with his hat on
his ear and his mule on dead run-a con
quering hero We know it, because he took
along six packs of marked cards, and be-
cause he can do more bluiling on a pair OF
deuces than any man in Arizona on three
aces. He will not only return with all the
cash the Tombstone editor can rake and
scrape, but with valid mortgage for at
least 81 900 on the newspaper outfit.
Having been left in charge of THE KICKER
office for week, we shall proceed to make
this issue an ideal one. In the first place

Inhuman treatment of mans noble friend.

streets of our city. No voice is raised
against it. no hand uplifted to ward off
the cruel and angry blows of the heartless
driver. OF course there is a law against
cruelty to animals. but it is not enforced.
Maj. Moore would do a good work If he
should give strict orders to his lieutenants
to have their men strictly enforce this law.

Is cruel" Il.
