was Major Callahan's bulldog, who died
an hour later. When the parties were
arrested and brought before us as mayor
we fined each $25, and in default they
went to Jail for three months apiece
The fine was not imposed so much for
infraction of the ordinance as for the
poor shooting they did.
We don't want to find fault with the
way the coroner conducts his Office as
he is a green hand at it, but we do
feel like throwing out gentle sugges-
ton that we believe is worthy of his
consideration. In three different in

We were out with the boys last Fri
day night to look after the welfare of
Catamount Jim, a new arrival who was
firing away great many cartridges to
make somebody stand in awe of him as
a terror. We did not find him. how
ever. Catamount James had somehow
got word that the grip had come to
town. and he did not care to expose
himself. He borrowed a SIS mule to get
away with. but it seemed to answerhis
purpose and point. a moral. The cata-
mount business played out in this town
years ago.
The other day we received a CODY of
a Chicago paper containing half col
umn of praise on our industry in filling
our private editorial graveyard called
Woodlawn, and on our taste in orna-
menting the fourteen headboards with
Virginia creeper and cIematis. We
highly appreciate notice of this kind.
and we feel that it is not altogether I'M
deserved. The headboards mark the
last resting places of men who set out
to get the drop on us, but made a sad
failure of it, AS far as we know, they
sleep peacefully and well, and are bet
ter off than when bluffing around on
top of the ground. In each and every
case we had to shoot to defend ourself.
and yet we have always paid all the
funeral expenses and rode at the head
of the procession. We can truthfully
say that we plugged them more in sor-
row than in anger.
Last Tuesday afternoon a man calling
himself Grizzly Bill got into a dispute

drew their guns and adjourned to the

shots were fired. and the only thing hit

ARIZONA KICKLETS.
The Editor of "The Kicker Does Not
Have Time to Get Lonesome.

AS citizen we are good fellow and
train with the boys. AS editor and
owner OF The Kicker we affect con-
siderable dignity and keep haIf-breed
Indians at a distance. AS mayor we
feel about as big as the president of
the United States, and we purpose to
run this town and run it according to
the rules laid down. The public can
settle down on this as our policy, and
the sooner they settle the better it will
be for all hands.
Our esteemed contemporary came out
last week with the announcement that
we were loafing in the Red Front sa-
loon on a certain evening to the detri-
ment of our dignity. His statement
lacks truth AS editor of THE Kicker
we went in for a nip As mayor, after
the nip had been disposed of, we took
loaf around to see if any of the or
dinances were being violat ted.
The editor of 1.-THE Kicker" who is
ourself, and the mayor of this town.
who is also ourself. are in receipt of
invitations to attend the opening of the
Pacific Poker Rooms next week. AS
editor of 1.-The Kicker we shall accept
the invitation. blu as mayor we shall
decline it. This will probably give us
a chance to go as private individual
without hurting anybody's feelings.
AS will be noticed in another column.
Colonel Tom TaylOT IS no more. He
died at his residence on Shawnee ave-
nue. Thursday night, passing away so
peacefully that his wife didn't know
that the grim destroyer had entered the
house until after the colonel had been
dead for some time. He was a good
man, as men average. True, I'VE had
to shoot him about once in three months
to let him understand that he didn't own
and run THE Kicker but we always
paid the doctor bills and convinced him
that we had acted in his own interests.
Peace to his ashes.
Yesterday afternoon at o'clock an
individual known as Jim Furlong. who
supposed the editor of THE Kicker"
was at home. rode up and down in
front of the office on an old mule and
yelled for gore and did a heap of brag-
ging. We were over to Lone Jack at
the time and could not attend to Mr.
Furlong's case. but we hope he will
repeat his performance at an early
date.

NOW AFTER CENTRAL?
Rock Island Reported as Anxious to
Further Back UP the
frisco Deal.

A message from Des Moines, Iowa,
received in Chicago late Monday after
noon announced that the directors OF
the Rock Island railway had approved
the Frisco deal. This means that the
Rock Island has absorbed the st.
Louis and San Francisco railway, a
which permits the Rock
Island to reach the southern seaboard
at Birmingham. Tho main terms Of
the merger are 60 per cent in Rock
Island 5 per cent bonds and IS
per cent In common stock for the or
dinary shares of the Frisco.
1t is stated that the Moores are ne.
gotiating for the Central railway OF
Georgia, which connects with the
Frisco system at Birmingham and
runs to Savannah.
President Carroll Wright, OF the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific rail-
road Company, gave out the following
statement Monday afternoon:
"By the deal the Rock Island Sc
cures control of the Frisco road. 1t
does not take over the management
of the road, the two remaining inde-
pendent lines operated in an tnde-
pendent manner, but it does secure
control of the capital stock. The
Rock Island now has two outlets to
the coast, one to Galveston and one
by way of Sabine Pass"
