No Money Will be Spared in
 Running Him Down.
Body of the Murdered Man Arrived in New York To-day-Motive of Assas- sin Thought to Be Revenge for Some Real or Fancied Wrong.


 Some Real or Fancied Wrong.
 New York, Sept 21.-The body of Or lando P. Dexter, the New York mil- lionaire, who was assassinated near his summer home in the Adirondacks, near Santa Clara, N. Y., arrived at the Grand Central station to-day In care of John F. Badger, MT Dexter's attor. ney.
 T have no doubt unlimited sums win be spent to run this cowardly assassin to earth" said MT Badger. MT Dex- ter was deliberately murdered. H-s assassin planned the crime skillfully and has so far carefully covered up his, tracks, but there are some clews which hope will put Us on the right track.
 "The motive for the crime was re- venge for some real or fancied wrongs suffered by somebody who may have believed he was doing righteous thing for the benefit of the community at large.
 "Mr Dexter had many enemies be- cause of his relentless warfare against game poachers, timber cutters and trespassers. He had much litigation and many of the woodsmen felt bitter against him. as they do against other wealthy gentlemen who have estaD- lished game preserves in the north woods and who are held to be infring- ing on the rights of the original set tiers.
 Some of these men had made threats against MT Dexter's life and naturally they are under suspicion. I shall con fer here with MT Dexter's father and return at once to Santa Clara to take charge of the search for the assassin { Henry Dexter, father of the mur- dered man, said to-day: "No money will be spared to bring the guilty one to justice. I begged my son repeated Iy to give up the fight against these outlaws I warned him they would end by killing him. His murder is the work of one of two men who have re. peatedly threatened his 1ife.'
 South Norwalk, Sept 21-Orlando F. Dexter who was assassinated near his camp in the Adirondacks. had for the past twelve years maintained resi- dence in Norwa1k, having apartments in the home of Frank R. Starr, we'll known confectioner. MT Dexter had several times been elected Justice Of E the peace. but had never tried any cases in town. He was frequently away for months at a time, and the last time he was here for any length of time was three months ago.

The June Bride.

It's getting SO that when a man proposes
to maid
Of she accepts) she peeps at him with
bushes, half afraid,
AS though she did not want to say the
Yes without some study,
And first she hints that Junes the month
to marry anybody
Now why is it that ladies fair prefer the
month of roses?
Won't January do as well? Why, any
man supposes
That February is as good as March and
April are,
And May-sometimes the first of May
seems setting dates too far.
Of course if he should pop in June it's
right enough to say
That any of it's thirty dates shall be the
wedding day;
At it's July or August, though, September
or October,
To wait till June is apt to make the man
look rather sober.
November is a thankful month, and hap<
by grooms remember
Their brides as rarest Christmas gifts if
welded in December.
Now, congress might assist the men this
choice of June to parry;
By law the months could each be June
for those who wish to marry

His Greeting.

He was extremely bashful and very
much in love, and the combination
made his life miserable.
One evening he called and found the
whole family, with the great exception
of herself, assembled in the library.
He discussed politics with her father
and the servant question with her
mother when suddenly his tongue fall
tered, for she appeared in the doorway.
Rising hastily he exclaimed more
cordially than gracefully, "Ah, at last
here comes the missing link"

PIaved a Safe Engagement,

The story is told of a man who was
riding on train and pretended to be-
come ill after eating a sandwich. The
man opened his grip and took out
hot water bag. He got sympathetic
porter to fill the water bag with boil
ing water, and then he opened his
luncheon basket, took out piece OF
fried steak and warmed it up on the
water bag. Then he cut it all up
with a pair of scissors and fed it to
himself with a pair of sugar tongs, be-
cause he would not take a chance with
a fork going around curve. After
he had eaten the steak he unscrewed
the stopper of the water bag and
pourned himself out a cup of coffee.
He had the grounds in the bag all the
time-New York Tribune.

~AHOUSANDS Of people in Per

asking: What is the Arizona
Kicker? Who is it that runs the west
ern half Of the United States" We
propose to devote a column Of space to
answer these questions and post in
quirers.
In the first place, the Kicker is the
greatest weekly newspaper on earth.
We founded it on the ruins of a eu-
chre deck and two old horse blankets,
and yet the third number had scarcely
been issued when good share of the
American continent began to tremble.
Our first issue consisted of only $50
copies, while our last lacked only a few
copies Of the billion dollar mark.
Our first press was made of planks
and beams, and we worked it Ourself
Our office is now equipped with sixty
six rotary presses, each one of which
is capable of turning out 100000 cop
les an hour, and we employ 1872 press
men.
We had to run in debt for half bun
die Of white paper for the first issue.
