THE KLEINMANS IO5 



wliat he was doing with all of that money. Jack said 

 that he came in to shoot Frank Parmelee one hundred 

 targets for one hundred dollars. Franlc was a little 

 astonished, but as soon as he was able to speak said: 

 ^'l-I-I don't know who you are, but your-r-r on." The 

 match was shot the next day over at Council Bluffs. 

 Score, Winston, 99; Parmelee, 96. Parmelee said that 

 he could not beat a man unless he missed more than one. 

 The Old Calumet Marsh 



I never knew of a better duck marsh than the Calumet 

 was in the early days. It was uncommon for one of the 

 Kleinmans in good ducking weather to kill less than one 

 hundred in a day, many of which were canvasbacks. 

 Within the last four years canvasbacks have been seen 

 in large flocks high above Calumet Lake, and descend in 

 spiral form to the center of the lake, where they feed on 

 wild celery, which still grows there in large quantities. 



After an acquaintance of fifty-three years, I take 

 pleasure in saying that I never knew four better shots, 

 nor five more honorable gentlemen, than the Kleinman 

 boys. > ,
