Edgar Allen Corn, editor and pub.
Usher and owner of the Tourzonia,
weekly publication issued at Spring
erville, this state, missed four weeks
lin succession in getting out his pa
per. Some of his subscribers noticed
the failure OF the paper to come to
them and he explained as follows:
"We do not apologize for missing
getting out Tourzonia for four weeks.
The causes were beyond our control.
The first reason for not getting out
paper the first time we missed is
that on November 5, the day after
the election, when we were trying
to get paper off in hurry, the
press choked up and burst, and we
had to stop right then.
The next reason was that we got
married and went on honeymoon,
going to the southern part of the
state and staying longer than we
figured on. When we got back to
Springerville the parts of the press
that had broken had not come, and
there was nothing to do but wait on
the railroad. They got in the next
week, and in putting them on the
press we got some of them in the
wrong place, and the press refused
to work. We worked hard, both day
and night, to get it so it would run,
but it wasn't any use, so we took
the stuff we had ready over to Wins
low and had Sam Proctor run it off
on his press, which worked all right.
We hope to do the best we can
under the circumstances, and maybe
the press will be running by next
week"
A broken press generally does stop
a newspaper, but honeymoon need
not do so. Of course, knowing his
plant was clogged up and hors de
combat, it was a good time for Edi-
tor Corn to she'll out and take his
bride somewhere else. Courier.
The foregoing excuses for not get
ting out the paper on time would
have sounded all right in Arizona
As or so years ago, but in this mod
ern day and age sounds somewhat
ridiculous We recall, however, a
few similar circumstances about pub
fishers difficulties in Arizona in the
early days of Cochise county in 1881
and 1882:
The Tombstone Epitaph, when
first set up, was located in a tent
about $50 feet from where Ed Shelf
fiein's monument now stands. The
printers, of whom l was one, con-
sisted of the Nash brothers (and the
owners), Tom Sorin and Charley
Reppy. We all slept out on the
ground and our bedding was rolled
some convenient corner of the tent.
One night when we were all peace
fully reposing on the ground outside,
dreaming of rattlers and centipedes,
sudden windstorm arose. In
jiffy the big tent was caught up,
swaying and lifting like a gigantic
balloon. The stakes let go on the
east side and in some unaccountable
manner they whipped about and be-
