ARIZONA KICKLETS
It's the State Where Things Keep Happening

We understood that Mai. Upton, who
left this town for Salt Lake City about
four weeks ago, was brought up in jail
He shot a man on the street six times
and missed him every time. though he
did manage to wound guest looking out
of a hotel window. The major once
plunked at us with two guns, and the
only damage done was to our Office clerk
. He's an Al deadbeat for a poor shot, and
Arizona has no use for him.
Joe Graham, one of the cowboys on Big
. Four Ranch called at this Office the other
day to inform us that a stranger was
hanging to the limb of a tree near the
crossing of Square Creek, on the Salt
Lake highway. There wasn't any DOUBT
in Joes mind that the stranger was dead.
Mr.. Graham is lightning on the shot but
he can't talk fol shucks. When asked
what disease the stranger died Of, and
who attended him in his last moments,
he wouldn't give satisfactory eXplana-
tions. It's our private opinion that
gang of the Big Four boys did the work.
and did II in their usual happy and effect
i've style, but If the coroner's jury can
make out a case of heart disease We
shan't object to the record.
We are in receipt of many letters from
subSCr1DerS asking US why we uOn come
out and announce our Presidential ticket
for the next campaign. To all anxious
inQuirers We would reply that we don't
propose to make fool Of ourselves with
our eyes wide open. We are holding
down three or four good things in the
way Of political plums, and though We
claim TO be a free-born American citizen
and have the welfare OF this country at
heart, We shall hang on to the said plums
TO the last gasp. When we have figured
out which party is deAd-sure to win We
shall begin to swing our hat and yell.
Some editors are satisfied TO work with
out reward and eat grass for six months
in the year, but We don't belong to that
class. That The Licker'' will be heard
from in the next campaign, no one need
doubt, but we shall wait and see what We
are going to get out of il before allowing
our patriotism to slop over.
Tuesday afternoon a gang of dbout
twenty men came over here from Lone
Jack with q running horse and bluffed

and our people were shy on him. The
gang had bluffed out and were ready to
return home when we heard of their
presence, and ten minutes later we had
put up 800 on our mule. We did noI
ride in the race as editor, postmaster,
deputy United States marshal or mem
Der of the legislature, but as private
individual. We have always contendeo
that this was right. An hour before
sundown James Hellso, which is US as
an individual, appeared on the track
with his mule, and the horse was ridden
by Lone Jacker named Watson. Every
body seemed to believed that our 800
was as good as lost before the word was
given, but we were not discouraged. Half
way round the course we were a length
behind, and the Lone Jackers were
throwing up their hats, but as we en-
tered the home stretch we called upon
our mule to hump himself He bumped.
He grew wings. He flew. We lost our
hat, our hair and our breath, but We
came in three lengths ahead of the horse
and brought ruin and desoIation to the
pockets Of the buffers. We are no
sport We own a racing mule and a
honor Of the town is called into Ques-
ton that We turn them loose and rake
in the pot.
About noon on Wednesday last we re-
ceived word from a stranger, who signed
himself Tom Jones. that he would visit
The Kicker" ofiee some time during the
afternoon and shoot US full OF holes. In
the press of business the matter slipped
our mind, and at 3 o'clock we were peg
ging away at an editorial The first we
saw of Mr.. Tom Jones he had penetrated
to our sanctum and had a gun leveled
at US. The same old performance took
place. That is, Mr.. Jones fired his bull
let's all over our Office in the most open
handed way and without thought Of cost.
and we finally got hold of our gun and
put a lump OF lead into his shoulder He
laid down at once. After a doctor had
extracted the bullet and tinkered up the
hole we asked Mr.. Jones what he had
ever done TO arose his martial arder. He
had no charges to bring. Finding himself
The Washington herald., 1914-07-19

in Giveadam Gulch and being possessed
of a feeling that he ought to kill some
one, he did US the honor to select US for
the victim. We found him to be a fairly
educated man and possessed Of original
ideas. and there were no hard feelings
between us when he left. There are lots
of men in Arizona who go about with
feeling that they ought to reduce the
population, and one must put up with
the situation and make the best of 1t.
We are always cheerfully willing to be
interviewed by such, and on each and
every occasion will try to make things
interesting for callers.
The Lone Jack Recorder of last week
had several personal attacks on us as
editor of The Kicker, and among them
was a paragraph to the effect that man
named Thorp had driven us out of Grass
Valley once upon a time in front of a
horsewhip. We distinctly remember the
occasion. It was a balmy day in spring
time. The birds sang. the insects buZZed.
and all nature smiled clear back to her
ears as We rode into the town of Grass
Valley to drum up subscribers. Mr..
Thorp was waiting for US. We don't re-
member the case Of his animosity, but
he had a case against us and was heeled
with two guns. There were ten other
citizens behind Mr.. Thorp, and all equally
well Iheeled. AS the eleven men and
twenty-five guns and eleven bronchos
moved on US we retreated. 1t was our
business to retreat. We struck a gait
of ten miles an hour, but that wasn't
fast enough. We increased 1t to fifteen,
and then to twenty, but even when we
were beating the pace Of a wild locomo-
tive We wanted more speed. For about
three miles the bullets sang all around
US, but after that our mule began to gain
and got US home half a mile ahead OF the
gang. Yes; We were driven out of Grass
Valley, and Mr.. Thorp was one Of the
drivers, and we have always thought we
did a pretty smart thing to come out of
II with a whole skin. We have a fair
amount Of sand and seif-esteem, but we
know when to get out Of strange town

Other Views Expressed.

Senator Walsh of Montana, also a
member Of the canals committee, said
nc had favored free tolls, but that he
would be willing to listen TO further ar
guments. Senator Page of Vermont. a
Republican member Of the committee,
said he always had been opposed to the
exemption OF American ships from the
canal tolls, but expressed the belief that
tho majority of the canals committee
would take a firm stand to uphold the
law as it stands
Diplomatic correspondence over the
tolls question which had been in prog
ress since Great Britain lodged formal
protest in july. 1912. virtually was sus-
pended after ambassador Bryce deliv-
cred note last February, just before
the expiration Of the Taft administra
ton. reasscrting the British position.
Then came the change of administration
and before resiguing his post as Brit
ish ambassador to Washington, Mr.
Bryce had a parting interview with
President Wilson in which the subject
Of canal tolls was discussed. 1t was
currently reported then that the en-

Wilson some assurance that he would

which proclaims that the canal shall be
free and open to the vessels Of COM
