MR. JIM HKLLSO (who U our
MO wlsbe the Kicker to
deny la the most vigorous
, language that be la thinking
ef resigning bis position as postmaster
ef this gulch. He (Ilea now and then,
out he never resigns.
ittr. Jim Hellso (who la ourself) paid
a short visit to Denver last week and
did not blow out the fas.
Mr. Jim Hellso (who la oorself) blew
wa the barrel of a new shotgun on
exhibition at Kramer's the other day.
It wasn't
Mr. Jib
loaded.
jtta Hellso (who la ourself) In
forms us that alterations and Improve
ments to the Hellso Opera House will
coat 12,000. One hundred pounds of
lead was dug- ont of the celling last
week. .
Mr. Jim Hellso (who Is oorself) au
asked the Kicker to deny In thunder
es tones that be contemplates organ
ising a wild west show and taking the
road next summer In opposition to
BpffsJo William. His show has been
right here In Given dam Gulch for the
last eight years.
I.
Is quite true that the editor of
the Kicker and the governor of the
territory met at Florence the other
day and had a long and confidential
talk, but there is not a grain of truth
b the statement that they played
poker for ten hours on a stretch and
that the result was bad for the gov
ernor. We and the governor were on
oar dignity all the time. Had be sug
gested poker we should have discour
aged the idea. ,
. (Colonel Joe Skelly of the Big 4
ranch informs as that he felt and
counted ninety-eight distinct shocks
of an earthquake last Sunday. We
have not the slightest hesitation In
pronouncing Colonel Joe a - liar. - If
he was sober enough to feel or hear
anything It was one of his old mules
rolling on the grass. ' ' "
Edward Jones and Peter Howard,
both of this town,; met on the street
last Sunday and resumed a ' political
discussion, with the result that gone
were drawn and ten shots fired. No
one was killed, no one wounded. The
TE5 SHOTS FIRED,
men stood and looked at each other In
astonishment for a moment after the
firing and then each ran In the opposite
direction. Oh, yes; Arizona will be ad
mitted to the Union, when the robin?
nest again! ... , ,
There is neither law nor ordinance
in this whole territory against (speed
ing automobiles. They can skip along
at a rate of 100 miles an hour. Or
the contrary, there, is no law against
any citizen taking a pop at a chauf
feur with his gun if he feels so mind
ed, and he is pretty sure to feel that
way. If you' own an auto and are
looking for a paradise, come this way
and get a free burial.
A Chicago man who was looking for
ml estate In this locality went over
to Lone Jack the other day to buy a
large block of town lots. On visiting
the graveyard be found that only
twenty-one people had died in three
years. He did not buy. He realize
that a town that couldn't do better
than that was a slow town and had
no future. ' - '
We understand that certain mem
ber of the only church choir In Give
adani Gulch object to our leading tiie

a race, horse and a touting dog and
take a nip with the boys occasionally.
