GETTING READY FOR GOTCH.
Hackenschmidt Would Defeat Yankee
Wrestler, Then Retire.

New York, Oct. 16.-Late advices
from England are to the effect that
is going into earnest and active train
ing soon for the purpose of meeting
Frank Gotch on the mat and wrestling
from the Iowan the title of world
champion wrestler. Hackenschmidt is
at present in London, and will be in
vaudeville in Great Britain for the
next few months. The wrestler has
been on the continent for several
weeks, and his knee has recovered
from the recent operation performed.
Hackenschmidt says the match with
Gotch will be his final appearance in
the wrestling arena, and that he is go

ing to put up the struggle of his life.
Already, according to report, he has
begun to negotiate with his American
rival. Arrangements at present are
uncertain, however, and 1t is not
known whether the match will be held
in England or America. Hacken-
schmidt regards the proposed meeting
with Gotch as his lone last great
match" before he finally retires from
the game, and promises that the out
come will differ in many respects from
the first one the two had in Chicago,
on April last, with a $4,000 purse
as the prize at stake.

We have on our desk a postal card
from one Bill Merritt of Phoenix, this
territory, promising to remove us
from this earth within the next sixty
days. Come along, William. We are
always ready for the removal and
won't ask for any time limit If you
can come here and fire two shots at us
and get out of town without carrying
a bullet with you we will sell out
cheap.-Arizona Kicker.

times because we would not run The
Kicker on lines to suit him, but his
talk went for talk. Last SATURDAY.
morning, however, he walked into our
sanctum and began blazing away at
US. and If he hadn't been cross-eyed
and drunk to boot some of his bullets
might have come within a foot of us.
We let him finish firing the six shots
and then took him by the ear and led
him out doors. We shall have to have
more respect for him hereafter. It's
in him to improve his shooting.
On thirty-two evenings during the
past summer there were from $40 to
$50 of our townsmen gathered in our
private editorial graveyard to take
the air. The place has been a public
park for the last five years, and it is
now hard to see how the town would
do without it. AS the sun goes down
and twilight comes one can sit on
comfortable bench and count the trail
ing arbutus trailing over the graves
of the twenty-one men that have fall
len by our hand, and the crickets chirp
and the whippoorwill sings and there
comes a feeling of perfect rest and
peace and good will to men. Such
of our people as have been to New
York city say that the great lack Of
that spot is the graves of Holy Ter
rors that have fallen at the hands of
New York editors.
The Red Valley Argus pokes fun
at us for not getting a nomination for
the presidency after all the Dragging
we have done for the past year. No,
we didn't get what we were after, but
keep your eye on the Hellso family.
They have never failed vet to tree the
coon and bring him down. We are
going to be a long time alive yet, and
many things may happen.
The Chicago editor who announces
that while we were in Salt Lake City
recently we went to bed in a hotel and
blew the gas out on oursef and were
found almost dead in the morning is
kyote and a liar. We carried a
candle with us and lodged all perils.
We never fool with anything hidden
away in a pipe. once in awhile We
have had tallow candle explode and
lift us two feet high, but We have al
ways come down right end up You
fellows in the east quit your lying, and
give us fair show.
Yes, Mr.. Taft is all right, and Mr..
Bryan is all o. K, and the subscrip-
ton price of the Kicker Is one dollar

going to the dogs, no matter who IS
elected. and for years and years to
come yours truly will be found boost

to say editorially at this time--(Copy-

FOR PRESCOTT.
School Board Net Saturday After
noon and Decided to Erect
an Additional Building.

At a meeting of the School
Board Saturday evening it was
decided to erect a new school
building on the same lot on which
the Tom Allen High School is
located.
Messrs. Gibbs and Sanders, of
Little Rock, will draft plans and
specifications.
The additional building is to
be erected just west of the Tom
Allen High School building, fac
ing Elm street, and is to cost
about eight thousand dollars.
The Tom Allen High School
building is the only school build
ing for white children in Prescott,
and for several years it has been
taxed beyond it's capacity to ac-
commodate the school, and every
one interested in the betterment
of our schools will welcome the
action taken by the school board
in this important move.

FROM SNODGRASS

Editor Picayune: Dear Sir. Since
prosperity went to seed and fell down
on us it confused great many of US,
but where there is will there is a way.
The farmers are class of people who
relish news. They love to see man
come along from town and tell him
what is going on in town. The Daily
Picayune is now filling a long-felt need
with farmers as well as with other peo-
pie. We don't have to take out horse
from a pillow, pull the coculburs from
his tail, saddle and go to town and get
the news. We just wait until j., the
rural man, comes along with the Plea
yune. tell you that all along the line
the people are waiting at the box for
both. When the rural route and the
Daily Picayune were first established
the People did not fully realize the
benefits to be derived. But with thes e
and j., on the route, thousands of dol
lars ara being saved by the community
in keeping the farmers at work. The
news, as given in the Daily Picayune,
and good farm work is all we need at
this season of the year.
Now, Mr.. Editor, you no doubt have
noticed the dullness of trade in Pres
colt, and you see but few people in
Prescott outside of the home folks.
This is not due to any enmity existing
between the town and the country peo-
pie. If the season continues favorable
we are going to make good crop this
year, and this fall we will come into
Prescott, rub shoulders. get off the
black list, and things will move on inst
as though there had never been any
confusion. The lion and the lamb will
lay down together and take snooze.
Now, Mr.. Editor. don't write this ar
ticle because | think | am smart at all.
but it is to please the boys and-are
my sentiments, too. The Bible says
where there is little given, there i
little required, and the strong in the in
faith must bear the infirmities of the
weak" So you see have the bible
behind me in every article write. |
