Mr. Holmes had not been in Phoenix
during the summer for several years.
and the hunt was arranged for his ben
eft An early start was made, and the
shooting all done early in the forenoon
and late i'm the afternoon. More than
three hundred pigeons We're brought
home and distributed among friends
over 800 shots were fired, and If there
had been any rain in the clouds on the
south side of the river such fierce can
nonading would certainly have brought
rain.

BEN BUTLER'S PERIL.-Mr Ben
Butler of Phoenix, who always rides on
the crest of the wave when he is at
home. was submerged and almost
wate rlogged at Santa Monica the other
day. In a letter to "A friend Mr.. Butler
says of the tragedy: Il was in bath
ing when Il double header breaker came
along and scooped little Rennie under.
| thought it was all up" Horrifying as
these m ager details are. they are mere
pleasantries in comparison with the
subsequent atrocities committed on Mr..
Butler by the pair Of breakers. They
washed his trunks off and he had to re-
tire to deep water beyond the three
mile limit and associate with tuna and
other marine monsters until persons
ashore. understanding his grand hail
ing sign of distress, rode out to him,
bringing bath robe. Thus clad he re-
turned TO the United States and again
took the oath Of allegiance. swearing
to support the constitution and avoid
marine disasters.
l.. II. LANDS BACK Il. II. Lands
returned yesterday morning from a
short excursion to the coast He only
spent a day and half in Los Angeles
a nd OF ha. na1. H.
enjoys riding over the S. +. y. & p.
railroad so much that ne began to pine
for the return trip before he had reach
ed his hotel, and secondly because he
can have more fun in Los Angeles In
one DAY than most people can In a
month. He gives a very glowing de-
scription of the natural illumination OF
the ocean waters about mile and a
half from the coass5 for n distance OF
many miles north AMI south. In the
day time he says the waters about that
distance from shore marked the divid-
ing line i'm color, The water next the
shore is sort of brick color and be-
yond is the proverbial ocean blue. At
night along this line there is a very dis
tlnct coloring that resembles electric IL
uniration. Scientists say The brick COZ
ored water i .ilal -.nh innunmrai.la
animalcuaae that give off phosphores-
cent light and makes The illumination.
1T Is considered one of the wonders OF
the coast and Mr. Landis says the sci
entists are right, for ne spent a few
hours in the water and swallowed a few
million OF the bugs. The story is prob
ably true, for it Is verified by Mr.. II. +.
Porter, one of Mr.. Lands business
competitors Mr.. Porter SAYS that
while he did not go in bathing or eat
any OF these sea baciEi he heard of a.
Fellow that said he Rad counted them
under a microscope and that he found
10000 times 1i4.O)0C00 of them 10 the
cubic inch. Readers wp.h a bent for
figures can make their own estimate.
and IL they get within 100000. coo of II
there Will be no questions asked. Coast
resort advertisers have always main
tanned that there were good many fish
in the Pacific ocean. but that estimate
looks large to inexperienced anglers.
MIR. WALKERS PEACE OVER
TURE.-Mr. ]. Elliott Walker spenf

That is, ne went 10 Iron Springs for
the purpose of spending Sunday with
MS family, but the day was well adj
