TWO BIG TIMBER WOLVES CHASED HIM.
as if they might overtake and drag him
from his saddle all he could think Of
was how good nice glass Of beer
would taste. He drank thirteen of
them in succession as soon as he struck
town and is reasonably drunk yet.
Four cowboys belonging on the Bar
ranch pursued US as we were riding
day; but. though they fired over forty
bullets at us, we arrived at the office
unframed. Sorry to disappoint the
boys, but we have q mission to live for.
Our esteemed contemporary an
nounces that some one shot ut him as
he was making his way homeward at
a late hour the other night. There are
three or four old mules wandering the
streets, and he was probably mistaken
for one Of them. Either that or he
wants sensation to show that he
still lives after the hard winter.
We were told the other day that Hen
ry Halpin, the lawyer, had drawn up
a petition to have us removed from the
postmastership on the ground that we
played poker. We buckled on our guns
and gave Mr.. Halpin call, and he de-
MED point blank that such an idea had
ever entered his head.
In making land deal the other day
we became possessed of three more
mountains and four more precipices.
and we can now fill all orders without
delay. Please mention what height Of
mountain you would like and whether
you want dreadful precipice or only
an ordinary. No extra charge for q
mountain which gives off avalanches
occasionally.
To the best of our knowledge and
belief 5000 unmarried women dumped
down in Arizona could find husbands
within a week, and also to the best of
our knowledge and belief $500 of them
would wish inside of fortnight that
they hadn't done it.
The position Of agricultural editor on
this paper is open to some smart young
! man who is aching to make hit in
Journalism. The salary will be 50 per
week to start on, and when he gets
| along far enough to tell the difference
between buffalo grass and steers tail
he will be advanced. He must have
two guns and be lightning on the draw.
If shot while defending the reputation
of the Kicker he will be buried at our
expense.
The coroner was informed four days
ago that the body of man supposed
to be an actor who was trying to reach
! this town one day last winter to open
in "Uncle Toms Cabin" was lying on
Breeds hill. but the most faithful
search on his part has failed to find the
remains. The actor would have died
after reaching the town anyway, and
there seems to have been no harm
done.
1t was generally understood that on
Washington's birthday we were to
raise big flag over the Kicker office.

"Hazle Dell" was the title Of play
given at the Hellso Opera House last
Tuesday and Wednesday nights, and
the result was just what we warned
the pigheaded manager would be the
case. There were no murders or alb

throwing the lasso, and the company

All, there! my Fair.

We're shower drenched.

You bratny- brainless sot?
Road Supervisor Johnson is busy
patching up the dangerous bridges, in

Miss Maude Frederick, daughter of
Albert Frederick, was the victim of
serious accident, Friday, while on her
way from her fathers farm to the Ira
johnson home in east Greeley. She
was mounted on the old family pony,
trusty old animal, and carried q
small egg case in her hand. The old
pony was unable to identify the egg
case and mistook it for something that
threatened her welfare, whereupon
she began to dash about wildly and
threw her rider to the ground in the
vicinity of the Claude Jayne farm.
Seemingly Miss Frederick fell upon
the egg case in such way asto inflict
| serious wound in her side. Possibly
| some ribs are fractured and her shout
der badly injured. She crippled back
home, arriving there in condition so
alarming as to necessitate the skill of
| physician at once. DIR. Riley was
summoned from Extra. At this writ
ing the young lady,s condition is the
cause of much concern.
With Autumn
Now will lay my head in Au-
tumn's lap
And weep away this aching in
my heart.
Sweet Summers gone. I heard her
parting tread,
And we applaud, 30 we'll she
played her part.
Far in her wake trail of sweet per-
tune
Lingers among the hills and holds
our love.
Her brood of swallows now are on
the wing
Swimming the calm blue sea Of
haze above.
The grapes are purpling in the au
tumn sun,
The apples, yellow, red and russell
brown
Are plucked by playful winds, and,
as we pass,
To gladden. US, they toss the ripe
ones down.
My chapel is the quiet woodland
dell
Where sings the playful brooklet
all the day.
There oft 1 wander burdened with
care,
Always returning light-hearted
and free.
From colleges and universities
Oft do they come with pride and
bullying pate,
A useless wreck, robbed of the So
cred power
To ramble 'mong the hills and
mediate.
In solitude among the silent hills
In meditations deep Christ fought
and won
The greatest battle possible to win
He conquered Self. God said
"This is my Son."

Mr.. William Fry. living out on the

was to find that she had taken the 5000

Fry's grief subsidies bit he will go
to st. Louis and select another COM
panion. The one who skipped was a
variety actress and never did take
kindly to Arizona. There We're no
brokers at hand to pay for her dinners.

INSURANCE

We write policies in our office,
make endorsements and transfers
in companies that paid 100 cents
on the dollar in the great San
Francisco Fire. SOME INSUR-
ANCE is GOOD ALL THE
TIME. Buy a CONTINENTAL
Policy. 1t is good all the time
and costs no more than others.
You always get your moneys
worth and do not have to watch
the company to see if it is good
the next year. We settle losses
promptly and satisfactorily. Our
policy holders who haze met with
losses are our best friends. We
are willing to leave it to them.
Ask any of them. We do business
for the companies that have the
reputation of paying their losses
promptly and satisfactorily. Not
how cheap but how good. When
we are called upon to write a pol
icy we write it in company there
is no question about when the fire
happens. We cannot afford to
stake our reputation on cheap
skate companies, for we are often
called upon to pay a loss where we
never expected one would occur,
and we are expected to pay them,
and we will always look well to
the interests of our large lists of
our policy holders; guard their in
terests as we would our own if we
were in their place and they in
ours. We have spent % years of
the best part of our life studying
insurance and we learn every year.
We think we know how to write
policy and have it right. Write or

THREE ESCAPE CITY JAIL.
Locks Filed on Cell Doors in Harris Island
Prison.

The notice Of all precincts in the city
were asked last night to look for Fred W.
Smith, Fred Lowenthal and Henry Green
berg, three prisoners who escaped from
the branch city Jail on Harris Island yester-
day afternoon.
The men we're doing short terms for
larceny. Smith was doing trusty duty,
owing TO his good behavior recently. He
was sentenced to three months imprison-
ment on October 10. Lowenthal and Green
berg were recently concerned in a row in
the prison and were in solitary confinement
at one end Of the prison.
Smith was engaged in doing some white
washing along this corridor. When the roll
call came at S o'clock Smith was found to be
missing. A further investigation shovel
that the locks on the dark cells occupied by
Lowenthal had been filed of and the two
prisoners we're gone.
Down at the Island landing it was found
that a rowboat was missing and so wal a
life preseryer.
A keeper was sent to this city last nighttc
try to ascertain just where the men came
from when arrested. The keeper was I'M
able TO get this information, but will do so to
day at the Court OF Special Sessions, b
no will look over the records.
