Bad Bill Wheeler, as one of the cow
boys on the Big 6 ranch is familiarly
known, called at The Kicker Office the

hole in it which he had shot off the

sight of the man flying along the high
way. They at once began hot pursuit,
and for the first mile had him within
pistol range, but as soon as he struck
The down grade south of Grizzly hill he
gradually pulled away from them and
finally escaped. 1t was the first bicy-
clist any of the Big boys had ever
eeen, and they greatly desired to cap

ARIZONA KICKER.
THE PRIVATE GRAVEYARD THROWN
OPEN AS A PARK.

And It Has Proved to BE Most Popular
Contemplated For the Benefit q the
Community, with One Exception.
A month ago we threw open our pri-
vate editorial gravey ard to the public
as a park. and it has become the most
popular evening resort within the city
limits Between the hours of z and 10
o'clock p. M. the number of people sit
ting around and enjoying the cool breeze
is nevor less than 300, and on every sui
try night runs to half thousand. We
have spent good deal of time and mon
ey on our graveyard. being determined
from the first to make it the incest spot
CT the kind in the whole west, and it
makes rs glad to see it so we'll patron
lied. Trailing arbutus has been trained
over each and every one of the II head
stones and flowers have been plan ted on
every grave, and there is little or moth
ing to remind one of the grewsome.
A short time ago we bought an acre
of ground and founded a postmaster
graveyard, bat no improvements will
be made this year. If things go right,
we may open it to the public next sum-
mer, and thereby relieve the pressure
on the other, but nothing has been real
~ decided on thus far. Meanwhile we
extend a hearty invitation to one and
all of our citizens to make daily use Of
our editorial graveyard as park. We
make but one exception. IF we find our
esteemed contemporary within the in
closure. we shall proceed to throw him
out. He has repeatedly lied about our
graveyard and held it up to scorn, and
but fer our vigilance would have ex-
humed some of the bodies to start an
institution of his own.

When we assumed the duties and re-
sponsibihtjes of postmaster of this town,
we found that every judge, general,
colonel aud major in this locality had
the idea that his letters ought TO go free.
In order to keep friends with them the
former postmaster had stamped their
letters at his own expense. We promptly
refused to carry out any such line Of
policy, and as result there was more
or less shooting for the first month
General Hooper nicked one of our ears
with bullet, and Major Phelps sent
bullet through our hat, bat we were
firm in our resolve and finally brought
all the gang except Captain. Joe Scott
around to our way Of thinking. The
captain returned home the other day
after a months stay at Tom bstone, and
the first thing he did was to write six
letters aud hand them in to be sent D.
H We courteously informed him of the
new deal, and in his impu1sive way he
Jumped to the conclusion that his honor
had been impugned and opened fire On
us with two guns We did some jump
ing and lodging until we saw an open
ing TO catch him by the neck and dis
arm him, but it " as only a trining mat
ter after all None Of the eight bullets
he fired came within foot of US, and
as soon as he recovered consciousness
he admitted his impetuosity and begged
our pardon.
Earring finished with the captain we
anticipate no further trouble, but it viii
be we'll for the general public to re-
member that there is no deadhead busi-
ness connected with this postoffiee. You
buy aud lick your own stamps On, or
your letter goes to Washington.
