plained that when a bullet hits the buckshot target it's course is deflected and it makes a singing noise
 But the hair-raising feature IS when California Joe shoots an apple off the head of Jimmie. the Indian.' so- called, though he is young white man who travels with Joe as assistant and target manager. Jimmie said last night that Joe had shot more ap- pies off his head than most people have ever eaten and has never scratched him vet. Better still, for side purse of $50. he lets Joe stick a bean on the end of his nose with some sort Of cement and then shoots it off without drawing blood lie also shoots cigars out of his mouth, wal nuts out of his fingers and many sim liar tricks. Joe also does some fine work at still targets and with heav- fer gun does some long distance wing shooting. The admission charge will be Poe to the grounds another 25c to the grand stand, and children half price.

SKILLFUL SHOOTING
 Al tASILAKE PARK
Fine Exhibition Sunday Afternoon by California Joe, S. w. Quindt and Jimmie, the India

Those who attend the rifle and re- volver shooting exhibition at East lake Park Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock may expect to witness a de- gree of skill compared with which the original Tell or the average American sharpshooter would be a crude and awkward performer. The chief feature will be a match wing shooting con- test between California Joe and s. w.. Quindt, but there will be a lot of fan cy shooting beside. California Joe claims to be the best rifle shot in the world and has never been defeated. An offer of $500 to any man who would defeat him. was standing for thirteen months in California, with out acceptance.
 California Joe is about 90 years old and his business is shooting at both still and wing targets. <. w Quindt has lived in this city since last fall and though he does not claim to be world champion. he can shoot some, and his friends believe that with the advantage Joe will give him by a handicap. Quindt has very fair chance to win. The offer of fifty dol 
 make d better record than the win ner in Sundays exhibition, the only entry cost being that the shooter must furnish his own targets and ammu- milton. The targets used in the match will be tangerines thrown in the air, and the shooting will be lead bullets of 22 caliber No shot will be used. and any time doubt is expressed on this subject a demonstration will be instantly made by shooting into d plank. The terms of the handicap are that the shots shall be in groups of ten. alternately. except that Quindt is given loo shots and Joe 90 shots. the one making the highest score talk ing the s2O0 match money. Quindt is also given the benefit of all ties. That is. if each man shoots ten straight. the score goes to Quindt.
 After the match California Joe will give an exhibition of fancy shooting. both wing and at still targets. He will shoot English walnuts. black can dy marbles 3-4 inch in diameter and also 1-2 inch marbles. He will also shoot at buckshot thrown in the air if he can find any for targets. though up to yesterday he could find no buckshot in town. Asked how one could tell when the buckshot are hit it was eX-

FISHING NOW.

You can have more solid sport out of 25c or soc worth of fishing tackle than any similar amount invested in any line of sport. April starts the fishing, in the Salt and Gila rivers. A few Colorado river salmon have been caught and good catches have been made on catfish, carp, suckers and Verde trout The water is clean and all the fish are good eating now. Our stock of poles. rods. lines, reels and hooks is complete, with two large shipments now due to arrive any day We are headquarters on these goods.
 Take a gun along and kill some doves. We give a box of shells for the first white wing brought in to the store. It has not been brought in yet, although several have been seen.

PENALTY FOR IHf
 DELINQUENT LANDS
Last Gall For the Assessment Due the Water Users Assn.-Payment Must be Made Today.

Any member oc the Salt River Val ley. Water Users Association who has not yet paid in full his assessment for the current expenses, levied last sum mer, had better do so today if it is possible to get the money anywhere without stealing it. After today the delinquent penalty will attach adding just that much unnecessary expense to those who could pay and have not done so through sheer neglect
 There is another object even great CT to many than the expense of the penalty and that is to have a clear record on the books May 1st. when the season opens for the sale of sum- water user cannot buy summer water of the government, and he cant get ft anywhere else on the north side, unless he is clear on the books of the association. The water user therefore who fails to pay today will have to pay up within the next twenty days, unless the water user has a better speculation somewhere than most people know about.
 \Timely warning has been given. All have been notified and there has been frequent mention of both the half pay ment last fall and the full payment that must be made today. It IS pleas ing to know that those now on the danger line and in jeopardy of the penalty, form shorter list than ever before, notwithstanding the number of water users is greater. and it is likely that most of those who are be- hind, are so merely from neglect and carelessness and it is hoped they will see this notice and settle up.

AN INTERSTATE ToUR-J


 Neel of Los Angeles and Glendale California. is making preparations for an extended automobile tour. Mrs Neel. who is recognized as one of the most expert and fearless drivers in California. will accompany her hus- band on the trip. The party will go equipped for rough weather and is eX- pected to reach Phoenix during the latter part ot the month. Mr. Neel states that while their tour will be mostly one of pleasure. as they plan on visiting many towns in California and Arizona. the run will also be a severe endurance test for the 1908 Jackson car In commenting on her previous experience Mrs. Neel relates: We selected the Jackson because we expected to have many steep hills to climb. and as I will do all the driving know I shall feel more safe in our new Jackson machine"

 AT HARDWICK Where Anti InStruCtiOniSt
 Will Meet Other Concurrent Gather ing Will Be at The Doris Theater.

There will be two republican county Conventions in Phoenix today for the selection of delegates to the territorial convention at Tucson next Saturday. This was decided upon two days ago by the anti-instructionist leaders after they had exhausted efforts for party harmony in this county. While they believed that with the seating of their delegation from the first ward, they could control the convention, they were aware that they would be help less against the county organization and that they would not be given an opportunity to present the merits of their case on the floor of the cOnven- ton. It would of course be useless to present it to a partisan or factional committee on credentials They say they have no doubt that they will re- ceive justice at the hands of the terri torial convention and they determined to go there. There would have been another avenue to Tucson. The con vention could have been divided. the leaders think. about equally, but that would have involved a great deal of wrangling. They can pursue their course of a separate convention from the beginning without an unseemly quarrel.
 The convention will be called at the Hardwick theater at ten o'clock this morning. The instructionst conven- ton will meet at the Doris at the same hour. On account of the deci- sion of the anti ti-insuructionist leaders those who had expected to see cir GUS today will be disappointed.
