Alley To Edit Arizona Kicker.

Frank Alley, on his way home from
Culiacan, the capital of Sinaloa, stop
ped over in Tombstone and took
charge of the literary end of the Ari-
IONA Kicker. The Arizona Kicker was
originally an M. Quad fiction, MIR.
Lewis signing that nom de plume to
give local color to his stories. After
ward a Mr.. Baggs copyrighted the
title, and sold it, along with what now
constitutes the Tombstone ProspectOr
and Epitaph to William Hattich, the
present editor and proprietor of those
papers. For four years, in compliance
with regulations, Mr.. Hattich turned
out a perfunctory sheet in order to
protect his copyright, and now he and
Mr.. Alley have taken steps to launch
the genuine Arizona Kicker. The
publication on the start will be of
sixteen pages, tour columns, the size
of the magazine section of the Los
Angeles Times, and will appear
monthly. The matter will be devoted
to rejecting conditions in Arizona and
the southwest, and the contributors
will undertake to make it reada BILE
and well seasoned with anecdotes,
biography and Renaissance. The
first issue of the Kicker will include
thirty well executed cuts and half
tones. The promoters will undertake
to place the publication in every news

DOUGLAS Democrat Out In Favor Of
Ralph Cameron.

Judge w. G. Mcdonald, one of the
leading democrats of Douglas, is the
latest among the prominent democrats
of Cochise county to join the ranks of
the old time democrats who are de-
sorting Mark Smith after supporting
him for many years, and to enroll
themselves under the Cameron ban
ner, says the Bisbee Miner. Judge
Mcdonald was elected justice of the
peace at Douglas four years ago by a
large majority, and he has always
been a factor in the democratic coun-
ellis of that city and the county. He
was in Bisbee recently and lie stated
to a Miner reporter that after care
full consideration he had decided to
support Ralph Cameron for delegate
to congress. He said that he had
been voting for Mark Smith twenty
years, hoping each time he voted for
him that he would accomplish some
thing for Arizona and his constituency
and each time he has been disapp ONT
ed. The judge wants to see Arizona a
state and he believes that Ralph Cam
erou can get US statehood.
Judge Mcdonald, who is now in the
wholesale lumber business, lived for
many years at Flagstaff and he is
personally acquainted with Rliph
Cameron. He knows him to be man
