During the last six months The Kicker
has purchased a new paper cutter, two
fonts Of job type, a can of blue ink and
$40 worth of pink paper for poster
work, and not word of boasting has
appeared in these columns. A little
thing happened the other day, however,
which we want to brag about, and
which we think equals anything in the
way of New Yolk or Chicago enterprise.
At o'clock in the afternoon Colonel
Joe Smith sent us word by messenger
that we were a SLOUGH editor and must
stop his paper. Our mule was out at
pasture, mile away, and our guns
needed cleaning. 1t is 2 miles as the
crow flies to the colonel's ranch, and
yet at half past 3 o'clock we were there.
The fusillade between us lasted ten min
utes 1t took five minutes more to get
the colonel to subscribe for three extra
copies 70 sond east and four or five to wa
ter our mule and tighten the saddle
girths. At exactly o'clock we were
back at The Kicker Office and booking
the new subscriptions. Thus, III three
hours we cleaned two guns, run mile
after our mule, rode 20 miles and had a
fight lasting ten minutes. We don't ad-
nit that this is the best we can do, but
until some other critter beats it we shall
rest easy.

When Utah Bill struck this town the
other day he figured it out that he had
a soft snap. After getting good and
ready he rolled up the ten spot of hearts,
thrust the card into the muzzle of a gun,
and then presented the gun at the head
of the cashier of our local bank and de-
manded that his check be cashed. That
sort Of bank business used to work in
Arizona in the good old days, but has
been played out for several years. Utah
Bill meant well, but was away behind
the date. About the time he asked for
cash he got bullet in the shoulder from
the cashier, and as he ran out of the
bank the president shot him in the leg.
Nobody on the street knew just what
Bill had been up to, but about dozen
men had a crack at him on the off
chances, and when the smoke cleared
away he was dead, with II bullet holes
in him, and an hour later was resting in
his narrow grave. His being shot saved
him from being hung, and SO he had
nothing to complain of on that score.
He looked like an intelligent man, and
how he came to be 20 years behind the
times we can't understand.

advertisements for The Kicker, and last
week were hunting up data to expose
him as a swindler when he suddenly
disappeared. He went away Wednes-
day, and Sunday morning his dead body
was found on Wolf creek by one of the
cowboys of Big 4 ranch. Mr.. J. John
son had been shot in the head. Further
more, it has been definitely ascertained
that a buyer of his stock came all the
way from Wisconsin. to plug him. Some
men went out from Pine Hill and bur-
led the body, and no effort is being
made to find the murderer. The chap
who locates here to put up a swindle on
the public may get away with some
cash Doodle, or he may fall asleep to be
tucked away under the sod. If he wants
to take chances, we've nothing to say.

The Story That Samuel NJ.
FELTON,
That
FELTON,
WILL BE SANTA FL PRESIDENT
Samuel M.

miscellaneous Railroad Items OF LO-
cal and General Interest.
In the following article headed "The
Coming Man for the Atchison," the St.
Louis Globe Democrat of yesterday re-
peats the story concerning the possibility
of the election of Mr.. Samuel NJ. FELTON,
as president of the Santa Fe, which was
published in the STATE JOURNAL several
days ago:
Mr.. Samuel NJ. FELTON,, Jr, president
and receiver of the Queen and Crescent,
seems to be the compromise choice for
the helm of the Atchison- At the recent
test vote of the reorganization committee
he received more ballots than either Mr..
E. T. Jeffrey or Mr.. D. B. Robinson. Mr.
Feiton's record was carefully examined.
and it was found he had been contin-
uously in railroad service for forty two
years He began as rodman in the
engineers corps and worked up to
the position of chief engineer of the
Chester and Delaware, in 1874 He then
became general superintendent of the
Pittsburg, Cincinnati 6 st. Louis, and, in
1884 was appointed general manager of
the New England. Two years after
ward he became assistant to the presi-
dent of the Erie. and afterward was
eiecteQ urSL VlC6- president IN cQdrg0 OF
the traffic and operating departments.
In 1892 he accepted the presidency of
the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia,
and the next year became president of
the Queen 6 Crescent. The same year
he was appointed receiver.
What Mr.. Fleming Says.
The following article concerning the
presidency OF the Santa Fe, appears in
the Wall Street Journal of November s.
Chicago special: Mr.. Fleming, who
represents the English bondholders of
the Santa Fe, was in Chicago yes
terday, and held long conference with
Walker, regarding the affairs of the
company. Fleming said no one had yet
been selected for the presidency, and no
definite plans for the future government
of the property have been perfected.
Nothing will be done until the arrival in
this country of the representative of the
Dutch bondholders.

Peace Reigns Supreme.

Two weeks ago our esteemed fellow
townsman, Major Gilroy, lost control of
himself while speaking of Colonel
Baker, another esteemed citizen, and
characterized him as liar and horse
thief. When the colonel heard of this
language he lost his usually placid
temper and called the major a cow
stealer and a bigamist Then both sent
word to each other that they would
shoot on sight, and during the next ten
days the public momentarily expected
to hear of a tragedy. We seldom med
die with such affairs, but in this case
we were requested by numerous friends
to endeavor to bridge the chasm. Three
days ago we bridged it. We got the
colonel and the major together in Jim
Bucks saloon and disarmed them as a
starter. The major had called the colo
mel a liar and horse thief.
We have the records of both men, and
it took Us only minute to convince the
colonel that he stole horse in Indiana
in 1887 and that his general reputation
around town was that Of a liar We then
turned to the major and satisfied him
that he stole COW in Illinois five years
ago and that he married a second wife
in Nebraska last year without getting a
divorce from his first. Both gentlemen
had told the truth about each other,
and as soon as this fact was apparent
they shook hands and made up. There
will be no shooting-no gore. The
horse thief has forgiven the COW stealer,
and the bigamist has extended the hand
Of peace to the liar. It is we'll.

AS mayor of this town we have never
attempted to put on airs. Our Office in

we as mayor were entertaining the may
