ARIZONA KICKLE is.
No Place Lik. Home.

We returned home last Tuesday after a
brief visit to Chicago on deadhead rail-
read pass. IL was oui first visit 10 the big
city, and We must confess TO being greatly
disappointed. There were people enough
ard houses enough and rush enough, but
alas. we looked in vain for that freedom
Of restraint which makes the far West
such a close second TO the Garden of
EGen. No one slapped US on the back
and asked us what We would take-nc
cowboy waited on the corner to get the
drop on us-no man threw up his hat and
yelled. II was just lot OF goody-good
people, all with their best clothes on, hur-
rying up and down the street after dol-
lars. and If the vigilance committee hung
any ore during our stay nothing was said
about it in the papers. After three days
OF wandering around with broken heart
We bought s. worth of red cardboard and
a s. can of blue ink and turned our face
homeward, and the sight of old Jim Hew
son and his two guns and long hair and
red shirt made our soul throb again and
again.

A Painful Accident.

Sunday morning last, while Mr.. George
Schrocner was on his way to services at
the little Red church ne met Judge Little,
who was out for walk. Something was
said about politics, and the gentlemen
called each other liars. Both started 20
draw their guns at the same time, but Mr..
Schooner was in such a hurry 10 get the
drop on the Judge that his gun was dis
charged before 1t was fairly clear of his
pocket and he received bullet in the left
heel Being scholar and a gentleman
that ended the affair with the Judge at
least for the time being. Later OH, as We
understand IL, he will go cunning for Mr.
Schreonsr The bulle. inflicted a painful
wound, and the doctor says that the vic
tim will suffer from II for months. Mr..
Schooner has had a full dozen of these
little affairs and always came out ahead.
and aside from the pain and inconvenience
of the wound he Is greatly mortified over
his own caretessness. He has our fullest
sympathy. and later on when ne meets
the Judge again, we hope 1t will be at
least even up between them
