Has made us think that possibly there
might be some one person, possibly
more, who would like a nice new jacket
if they thought they could afford it. Now
we have few left and in style, quality
and finlsh-none better have been sold
this year-all this seasons goods, and
right in every respect. We have marked
them down so as to leave us with none
on hand at the end of the winter. TO do
this we have to take heavy loss, but it
will be your gam. The great cut in
prices is one that should command the
attention of all, whether they desire to
avail themselves of it or not.

poetry had got TO come out this week or
he'd shoot, and as he had the bulge on
us and appeared to be deeply in earnest
we stopped the press and inserted the
seven verses as he directed. 1t is the
first poetry we have published in seven
months, and if pair of navy revolvers
hadn't been watching us this stuff
would not have appeared. 1t was shot
in, so to speak, and we can't help but
say that we like Mr. Hanna's pluck A
man who will spend a week writing a
poem and then ride IA miles and hold
up newspaper Office TO get it published
has got some good stuff in him. It's our
idea that he ought to leave poetry alone
and become road agent. The next man
who tries us may not succeed so well,
as we were busy and not looking for
callers.
He Was Failure.
A man, supposed to be Pete Fra
ger, who was warned out of this town
two weeks ago as duffer, attempted to
hold up the Pine Hill coach last
Wednesday evening at Club run. He
might have made a big haul, as there
was plenty of money aboard, but as
soon as Hank Green, the driver, yelled
at him he made dive for the bushes
and was not heard Of again. Hank has
got roar ON him like a wounded bull,
and his yells that evening were heard
three miles away If the man really
was Pete Frazer, we hope he was not
scared out of the country. He would
come in very handy by and by when
our vigilance committee had nothing to
do and wanted to keep their hand in,
Should the Pine Hill folks get hold of
him first, they will please remember
that our people have first claim.

THE ARIZONA KICKER
COLONEL WHARTON'S TROUBLES IN
THE CIVILIZED EAST.

An Unholy Crttcr with n Holy Panorama
Queers the Editors Lecture-Another
Tenderfoot Planted-Journalism That
Does Not "Allege."
We learn from private letter that
Colonel Wharton, who went to Chicago
OH business two weeks ago, is in trouble
i'll that town. No sooner had he landed
there than the police took away his two
guns and knife and lasso. At several of
the hotels they warned him that he
could not enter the dining room in his
red shirt and with his trousers tucked
into his boots. When he finally went
out on the street with his blankets to
camp down for the night, he was run
i'll and given 30 days in the coop. We
warned the colonel before he left here
to stop at Prescott and give up his guns
and put on boiled shirt and a celluloid
collar, but he either forgot it or thought
be could bluff civilization on two pairs.
1t seems hard that one of our people
can't 60 east as far as Chicago and
shoot out the gas, lasso carriage horses
and utter a warwhoop on the street,
but it is something we must submit to
with the best grace possible The colo
mel went away to see civilization and
get polished up, and it will be as good
as circus to listen to his story when
he returns.
The Affair at Pilot ELL.
We were invited over to Pilot Hill
last Tuesday evening to deliver our ad-

and when he started in to show off he

Red sea so mixed up that nobody could
untangle them. The boys Let him go On
until he stood the Mount Of Olives on

then the ruction began. We hadn' any
