Frank Howe,, traveling in the in

While here these gentlemen
went out one evening for a little
blue rock practice; they were ac
companied by Sheriff Burnett,
W- G. Emery and Grant Elgin
and they all tried 50 blue rocks
each, except Grant, who shot at
30, with the following results:
Howe, 44 out of 50; Guiest, 41;
Burnett, 40; Emery, 42; Elgin,
26 out of 30. Bear in mind that
the visitors are crack shots and
one of them will not be allowed
to participate in the tourney
They are in constant practice,
while our boys are not shooting
much, and yet see the result.
Sheriff Burnett had not shot any

Messrs. Howe and Guiest both
state that our grounds are hard
to shoot on, and that the blue
rocks are thrown unusually swift,
and that our boys can shoot any
