 COMING HOME-George B. Rich mond received a telegram yesterday from his son, Charlie Richmond. an nouncing his safe arrival in San Francisco on Sunday and that he would leave today for Phoenix. Char lie is one of the bright young men who spent his childhood here, finished his education at the University of Ari- zona and has since been making a success of life. He is and has for three years past been in the employ of a mining company operating in Salva- dor. Central America. For the last six months he has been trying to get home on a promised vacation but this is his first opportunity. And though his relatives have heard from him ire quently he has heard nothing from them since last September. Not that they were negligent but every letter he wrote contained the assurance that he expected to start for home on the next boat, so of course the letters were unanswered.
 RECKLESS sHOOTING-Numer- ous protests are being received at this office against the careless shooting of dove hunters. It is the sense of su- burban residents that sportsmen should not only first find the dove they want but should also take some pains to see if there is anybody in line with their target or between them and the game, even if they lose a good shot once in a while. Mention was made in this paper of the narrow escape of a man and his wife north of the city one day last week, from a hail of bullets that fell around them. Yesterday it was reported that the hunters were altogether too promiscuous in the wes- tern suburbs and no one was safe unless he wore armor plate and a hel- met. On Sunday a stray bullet went through the hat of Dick Novinger. who lives southwest of town just be- yond the foundry. It did not hurt Mr. NOvinger, though it rather injured the hat and made him feel nervous for a minute. Though he is a quiet and in offensive man nobody ought to mistake him for a dove. Some day one of these bullets may get even closer still to somebody in the rural districts and it will not be so easy for the shooter to square himself with the coroner and the courts. Usually there is but small excuse for one man to kill another even in passion, but there is no excuse whatever for this sort of criminal careleSsness.
