This expert with the targets has traveleu a great deal in his time. He stated yesterday that he has shot with one Smith gun fully 250.OOO times. It is estimated that this has cost him about S6.250. For two years he was in the Alaskan waters killing seals.
 Fannng is a short built fellow, who in his conversation shows great fla miliarity with the world. He spoke very highly of the ability of the men who were at Fl Paso and carried of prizes there.
 Tanning is very proud of the fact that he was selected as one of a small team of wing shots who were fit to represent this country il the recent international trap contests. and never tires of relating his experiences in the old country. His words:
 T have met some good losers in my time, but those Englishmen were certainly the original princes. Bet? Why they would bet you on a single shot until you were black in the face. Our crowd lost $500 on the result Of one shell one day. but We more than made it up on the next few turns. Beating those fellows was like steal

NOTED TRAP SHOT HERE

ing candy from q baby, but they never had word to say that was not pleas ant We shot our best and showed them that American goods are the bes. in the world After it was all over they gave us a banquet in the Cafe Royal that was without excep- ton the finest thing I have ever sat down to, or ever expect to partake of Their hospitality could not have been surpassed.
 Since coming here have been asked what the tower traps We shot at over there may be. Well, they are new to Americans, and puzzled us a
 bit at first, but we soon got onto them and run off nine and ten straight with regularity The trap itself is ordinary enough. but it is mounted on a steel tower seventy feet high and thirty yards in front of the shoot ing score The birds are thrown hOr- iZontalIy straight over the score so a
 man gets all incomers. He must not move his feet and cannot turn around
 to take them going away, though he is allowed to bend back as far as he can. Singles and doubles are thrown, and | the traps are screwed up so they send birds eighty yards. They use about the same kind of blue rocks we do.
 Of their shooting material, the feature that surprised us Americans most was their pigeons. Tn the Old Country they catch their birds wild; use the coast blue rock pigeons. as they call them. and such a lot of screamers was never seen in this country. The birds are all dark blue; all are selected. and passed through 9 wooden ring to see that they are not fat to afford hard marks. There are no duffers' in the lot. and they carry them in wooden baskets called hampers, holding two dozen where an American crate would hold five times as many. The trapper has to work catching them in the basket. and if he does not hold them with both hands the birds usually gets away. They shoot with four or five booths so arranged that the traps can be taken up easily and so placed that the wind is always at the shooters back and in favor of the birds Ev- erything possible is done to make the game a hard one. Their automatic device to determine what trap is to he pulled absolutely prevents any col lision. for the puller himself does not know himself what trap the affair will turn loose. This might be a good scheme for some of the Bisbee match shooters to adopt"

MRS. BUCK ILL
 FROM WORRY
IS WITHOUT FUNDS OR EMPLOY MENT AND NEEDS HELP
J. Dickson of the New Era Company Must File His Answer to the
 Compiaint of Mrs. Buck Today

Complaint of Mrs. Buck Today
 Mrs. Fannie s. Buck. the lady brought here from Phoenix to accept a position as stenographer and type writer for the New Era Mining com pany, is seriously i'll at the residence of a friend. She is now unable to leave her bed.
 Mrs. Buck is out of employment and without means. Since coming to the city nearly two months ago, she has received nothing for her services and not having funds at her com mand, has found it a difficult matter to make her way.
 Yesterday a friend of the lady call ed upon several business men in this city and enlisted their sympathy in behalf of Mrs. Buck. They have gen erously decided to lend her aid during her illness Yesterday quite a sum was raised for her assistance.
 Mrs. Buck has been patiently wait ing for action in her suit for damages, which has been filed against President J. Dickson, Of the New Era Mining company The matter has now been delayed for five days on account of a mistake that was made in the sum mons served on Dickson first.
 Today the defendant will have to file his answer to the complaint of Mrs. Buck. The five days allotted in which to do this have now expired, and if some technicality does not arise to avoid it, Dickson. through Attorney Neale will file his answer with Justice Mcdonald today.
 Unless she is granted a judgment against Dickson, Mrs. Buck will be in the city without funds and without work Her trouble. with the mining company is said to be the cause of the present illness. She has been worry ing about the affair to such an extent that it has caused her to become i'll.
 As far as known the defendant in the suit has made no effort to recom- -pense Mrs. Buck for the services she alleges in her complaint that she ren- dered the New Era company. He claims that when the case goes to trial it will be possible for him to prove that he is justified in keeping the. plaintiff out of her wages, when she needs them the worst way.

HE SAYS PLAGUE
 NOT THERE
A. REDEWILL SAYS IT DOES NOT
 EXIST AT GUAYMAS
Reports that Mexican Officials are Taking Every Precaution to Pre- vert Plaque Reachinn Sonora

Taking Every Precaution to Pre-
 vert Plague Reaching Sonora
 T have just returned from a trip through Sonora, and I am here to say the reports of plague at Guaymas are not founded on facts" said A. Rede- will of Phoenix, yesterday. He was in Bisbee for only few hours going in the afternoon to Douglas.
 At Guaymas the authorities are enforcing sanitary regui ations so strict as to almost impose a burden on the people. They are keeping the city cleaner than it ever was before, and what is more, much cleaner than several cities in Arizona.
 ITO get outside of the quarantine line that has been established around the state of Sinaloa. any person flee ing from that section would have to make his way through a line of sol diers, who are guarding every avenue of escape. If he got through that there would be several hundred miles of desert to cross.
 At Hermosillo the regulations are no less severe. I spent about five days there. and during that time there was no sign of the bubonic plague in the city. The officials are on the | lookout for suspicious cases. and if one should appear will have it in quar- antine before there is any chance fo- spread of the plague.
 There is no doubt of danger exist ing all along the Mexican coast but , the government and state officials are equal to cope with it. The realize the great danger. and are taking proper steps to guard against it's spreading. The way the mattei stalds now It ' is practically impossible for the plague to break into Sonora. Unless the officials relax in their efforts to keep it oHt the plague could exist a' Mazatlan for years and yet never reach over i1io Sonora"
 ! Mr RedewiIl says that the Mexican oiii1:als of Sonora feel keenly the re. i ports that have been sent to newspa. 1. Ders in this country claiming that the plague has infected such places as i Guaymas and Hermosillo.

Path breaker For Lixhtnins.

In the "Annalen der Physik" there is
a paper by Herr Walter on the genesis
Of lightning in which he shows that
lightning flashes are preceded by minor
flashes, which, as it were, feel the way
and mark the course for the major
fash or flashes. Something of the kind
is also observed in electric sparks. The
path, once marked, is utilized for fur
ther discharges; hence photographs of
lightning taken with moving camera
may show more than one flash. One
picture shows three main flashes at in
tervals Of .O177 and .O4S9 parts of a
second between. OF course to the eye
they seemed one fash. Another pic
ture showed five flashes lasting alto
gether quarter of second. Although
signs of an alternating discharge were
seen on one picture, it may be taken
for granted that as rule lightning is a
series of continuous discharges from
cloud to earth.
