Waterbury evening Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1887-1895, 1894-07-03

ness OF the nation BY slow degrees, &C.
companied by much enthusiastic shooting,
We got around to Arizona. Tho applause
was like the roar of a mighty flood. We
referred to The KICKER and its vigorous
appeals to longcrs for justice, and for six
long minutes IL seemed as II the hall was
being toyed with by an avalanche. When
the applause had subsidized, we had some
thing to say of our patriotic and progress
i've pcoplc-our mines, cattle and agiicul-
ture, our energy in the past and ambition
for the future. We made comparisons
which ratified the shingles on the roof.
We submitted facts and figures which
made every person in the vast audience
arise to his feet and Shrek again.. When
we finally closed with a pcruration which
old Cicero would have tho1ght cheap at
$50 during financial panic and sat down
exhausted, the enthusiasm reached such
pitch that the necessary repairs to the
hall will cost in tho neighborhood of ST.
goo. Scores of people called ON us during
the last four days to inquire IL our subscrip-
ton and advertising rates will be raised.
Nothing of the sort Is contemplated, and
Job work will still continue to be done
promptly and Mt lowest figures. Should
our speech be wanted by any editor in any
other territory we will forward it for !,
reasonable sum, but IL must not be used
in connection with any town lot boom or
irrigation fake. At l2 O'Clock that night,
after we wcrc in bed, some one came and
fired six bullets into THE KICKER Office. 1t
was our esteemed contemporary, no doubt,
but as usual his shooting was only waste
Of ammunition.
NEIGnBoRHooD NEws.-Thc Indian who
was found dead one day last week over ut
Green Hill has been identified as Man.
Afraid-of- Water. No one can blame him
for dying of too much whisky.
The bar of the Last Buffalo saloon Is TO
be extended this week SO that 12 more
men can stand up to it ON free treat,
thus giving IS men an even show when
tcndcrfoot comes in.
Old Jake Hcrkimc- :, who Is known here
abouts as the deer slayer" brought to
our office the other day the tail of what
he called u mountain lion, and he solemn
~ sworc that he ran the beast down and
cut off it's tail with his jackknifc to send to
the governor n n relic. AS we seemed to
doubt the truth of his statement, Old Jake
Is now over in the hills to capture the
bobtailed lion and bring him In and prove
the fit of the tail
A pioneer family, consisting of father,
mother and IL children, passed through
town the other day on their way to Pine
Tree, and the man informed us that his
two with wife and Is children, all show
ing the genuine Arizona brand. Some
thing happens almost every day to
strengthen our faith in the future of this
grand domain.
For some weeks past the patrons of the
Eureka sample rooms have complained of
the high price charged for whisky over
that bar. Ever chccrfully willing to meet
the public half way in all matters of mu-
tual interest, the proprietor has added 90
per cent water to his whisky and reduced
the price to 10 cent Sutaa&lass This move
gives general satisfs Ut Mi md must surely
increase the numb bis patrons.
