TEE YEARS TUNAMAN
Return of MT. Ernest Ford With the
 Avalon Record.

Dr. J. M. Ford and Mir Ernest Ford, with their families, returned yesterday morning from Avalon, where they have been spending the summer. Ernest Ford imported into Phoenix the record of tunaman at Avalon for the fiscal year of 1902. The tuna he caught weighed IA pounds The fame of that fish reached Arizona a couple of weeks ago, and the weight at that time was given in The Republican. along with such facts surrounding it's capture as were then available.
 It was errOneously reported last year that Mr. Ford was the champion tuna catcher at Avalon. but he did not make any such claim himself, for though he had stood high among the fishermen of the islands, he did not happen to have the heaviest fish bite for him. otherwise he would have earned the champion ship year earlier than he did.
 The biggest fish ever caught at Ava lon since records of weights began to be kept was 225 pounds. Only four others have weighed more than the one upon which MT Ford bases his claim for the championship this year.

A SHOOTING MATCH
Which Cannot Be Decided for at a
 Year at Least.

A sporting event which has been at tracting a great deal of interest has been pulled off lately and was as near ly barren of results as possible. Hor- ace, Harrison, Dan Murphy. J. J. Kohl berg. C. H. Utting, Charles Connolly and J. Nj. Aitken. all renowned shots. had for some time been hunting in pairs and coming back to town and Dragging about their performances in the field. In this way a spirit of rivalry sprang up, and it was agreed to deter mine who was the best pair in an at mosphere of white wings. Last Friday they ali went out together, and those of them who have wives took them along to witness their triumph
 Here was an arrangement which would permit of no prevarication Each brace of shooters would be under the surveillance of two other braces and nothing but birds would count The prize was to be a supper, but no par ticular pair of hunters had to pay for it. There were no birds. It is said that MT. Connolly shot one but it got away. Thus the question of supremacy re- mains unsettled and cannot be settled this year. for the hunters said the white wings had all gone for the sea- son.
 But on the same afternoon Frank Lane and William Jones went out and in an hour they say they shot thirty eight. That bag though is not counted. for it rests only upon their unsupported statement and is therefore open to the same objection out of which the four handed match grew.
 Messrs. Lane and Jones say that teal are beginning to come in in great num- bers. They will not stay very long though, but will be gone before the opening of the duck season in Arizona. The teal act as if they know more about the game laws of the territory than many of the hunters do. If these well-informed birds rely wholly upon the law some of them will never get away.

GEORGE P. BULLARD RETURNS
Bringing With Him a Political As
 piration

City Attorney George Purdy Bullard returned yesterday morning from Salt Lake, where he went as a delegate to the late meeting of the grand lodge of Elks. He left here early in the month going to southern California. whence he was accompanied to Salt Lake by Mrs. Bullard. He returned with her to Les Angeles, where she will remain a couple Of weeks before returning to Phoenix.
 The coming back of MT. Bunard is an injection of another complication into the already perplexing democratic political situation. He will be a candi- date for the nomination for district at torney and will be understood to have the backing of the Young Mems Dem- ocratic club. A year ago. or rather ever since the campaign of two years ago. it was understood that MT. Bull ard would be a candidate for the nom nation. but when the name of Judge Baker began to be associated with the nomination early in the summer MT Bullard said that he might have the field to himself. He has since changed his mind.
 Until yesterday this was one of the

places on the democratic ticket over which it was thought there would be no conIest, though it was known that the younger generation of democrats would like to institute q contest if they could find a champion.
 There are some members of the club who do not love Judge Baker, and then there are some members of the club whom Judge Baker is suspected of not loving. If the young democrats can new find a candidate for the nomina- ton for county treasurer they will have a complete contest. They have been looking about for a candidate, but so far they have succeeded in finding no one who they believe will make a stand against County Treasurer Walk CT. They do not expect that all their candidates will be successful. but if they have candidates for all the places on the ticket they will be in a position to trade.

 When woman longs for the love of true man.
 When man wishes his wife would be less assertive.

 When woman shows how great i.; her love of admiration
 When a man can't help taking time to say nice things of himself

FREIDMANS REVENGE
How a Duped Individual Was Able
 to Retaliate.

Harry Friedman, the pawnbroker, is chuckling because he was able to re- taliate in kind. Harry does not believe in the scriptural quotation that when q man smites another on one cheek the abused individual should meekly turn his other cheek to be slapped.
 Not so he thinks that blow should follow a blow, but not both on the same individual. Saturday afternoon
 he was conversing with John Norton on the Goodman corner and invited
 Norton to take drink of soda. Norton
 tipped the wink to about a dozen men he was acquainted with who were standing near by. and they all filed into the drug store.
 Friedman was surprised at the num- Der that responded to the single in vitation, but he was too courteous to comment, and paid for the drinks for all hands. He thought deeply of a means of revenging himself. but chance came to his rescue yesterday, and he now feels that he is square.
 Yesterday morning Mir. Norton loaned his horse to Dan McDermott. and after the latter returned the animal he tied it in front of the Hoffman saloon. not being able to locate the owner The horse managed to get loose and was
 found by MT. Friedman. who retied the the animal s. J. Mcdonald. the cattleman, saw the action of Friedman and was also aware of the trick played on the latter the day before, and he told him that he could get even by tell ing Norton that the city marshal had found the horse loose on the streets, and that he (Friedmam had gone to the pound and by representing that he
 knew the owner of the horse he could make Norton set up the drinks. Fried man was wise and hunted up Norton and told him the story and added that as he had saved him a good bill he should show a proper appreciation by setting up the drinks. In the mean time Mcdonald recruited a small army who awaited the appearance of Fried man and his victim. As they entered the saloon Friedman tipped the wink to the eXpectant throng, and they lined up to the bar. By the time the drinks were paid for a light dawned on Nor tons mind, but he was game and casu- ally remarked that the drinks amount ed to more than the horse was worth.

"Oh. no. they would only whip them They would take a big bull whip and lash the bears soundly Experience has taught, so the park people say, that a good sound thrashing from a bull whiu will last a bear, either brown or griz- zly, for the remainder of the season. ."

NO POLLUTION FROM THE CANAL.

Once more we have official .confirma- tion of the contention of the sanitary district experts that the quality of the water in the Mississippi river is not polluted by the increased flow of water from Lake Michigan through the Des Plaines and Illinois rivers.

 The analysis of the water at these points shows that the Illinois at it's mouth has less pathogenic and sewer age bacteria than the Mississippi and Missouri at the points named. It is the same story as was told after the first investigations.
