THE MARINE EDITOR IS LEFT IN CHARGE OF THE PAPER.

. ..,3. The Editor of The Stoker Daa a Ifarrow Escape, but Comes Out of It All Right with an Kxtra Long Neck, but Never* theleu Perfectly Calm. [Copyright, 1892, by Charles B. Lewis.] Extra! Extra! Extra!—We are not the editor and proprietor of The Kicker. We are not the man with a private graveyard. We are not the mayor of this town. We are simply the marine editor on a salary of seven dollars per week. For the time being we are in charge of the office, and owing to events which occurred yesterday we have. decided to get out this extra sheet and give the full details of one of the most damnable outrages ever' perpe trated on a newspaper man in this western country. As this sheet goes to press the office is full of citizens, extending their sympathies and breathing threats of bloody revenge. One word from us would precipitate a massacre, but we shall not utter it. As a marine editor we are calm and calculating. Sunday morning the editor of The Kicker, who is also mayor, mounted his mule and rode over to Clinch valley to dig some trailing arbutus to transplant to his private graveyard. For a year past the cowboys over there have been after, his scalp, and on two occasions have almost secured it. He should not have gone in .. that direction, knowing what might hap pen, but he takes great pride in his p. g., and was bound to secure some of that ar butus to trail over the ten graves within the inclosure. What happened after the editor bad dis mounted from hia mule just beyond Squaw trail we gather from his own lips. He had found the vines he was in search of, when fifteen cowboys dashed in:on him and cut off all escape. Before he could draw his guns he was seized and bound, and later on was carried to a tree and preparations made to h.'ing him. We do net know what thoughts flashed through his brain as he stood there with the uoose over his head and a circle of implacable foes surround ing him. It is not our business to know. We do the marine at seven dollars a week, and are very practical about it. He prob ably thought of his mother—his p. g.— heaven—the office and other things too' numerous to mention. The first move of the cowboys was to run our chief up to the limb, hold him there* for ten seconds and then drop him to his feet again. He assures us that while the sensation was novel it was also decidedly unpleasant. He thinks it was this first - pull which so stretched his neck that a No. 15 collar vow goes almost twice around it. The object was to scare him and make hint beg for mercy, but he assures us that he did not lose cue jot of nerve, and that as soon as he could get his breath again be defied tliem to do their worst. Thero is a yawning gulf between a marine editor and the proprietor of a great family paper, but

CALM, we think our chief tells the truth in this particular. When pulled up the second time sparks of fire .danced before his eyes, his feet felt like ice, and the only thought he had was that our esteemed contempo rary would come out with a double leaded, two column article and lie about him in the usual vein. As near as he can figure, he was suspended for fifteen seconds thi* time. We have no, doubt that during thift epoch he thought of all the mean things he ever did. We say this without thought of criticising him. No marine editor would think of criticising his editor in chief. When lowered for the second time The Kicker man. found that his voice had changed from bass to falsetto, but he as* sures us that he used it extensively to de nounce the crowd as thieves, cowards, as sassins, grave robbers, jail birds and so on. There were ten in the crowd he had driven out of town on different occasions, and he taunted each one with the fact. He offered to fight the whole mob if turned loose, and he warned them tbat his death would be terribly avenged. When they drew him up for the third time they made the rope fast, calculating to finish him, but . just then Colonel Roberts' mule train from the railroad came into view and the whole gang took to flight. Our chief thinks he had dangled for about four min utes when cut down, and as his marine editor we are bound to agree with him. The colonel had him placed in a wagon, poured whisky down his throat, and he re vived before the train reached town. He in vow at his boarding house and has the attendance of the best doctor in town, who says he w ill not be out for a week or two and will not get over the shock for months. His neck appears to us to bo fully eighteen inches long, his eyes twice . their normal size, and up to an hour ago bis hair was still standing on end. He is very calm, however, and his mind is very clear. As a. marine editor on dfcven dollars a week we pronounce him a game man, and we predict that as Boon as he is able ♦O sit a mule and handle a gun the num -<4 tombstones in hia p. g. will rapidly ber %to eighteen or twenty, run v .
