524 History of pAsade^nA. 



received nothing ; and from other sources I gathered the following list of 

 names who were members of it : Col. Jabez Banbury, H. H. Markham, 

 Chas. H. Watts, David Townsend, F. H. Heald, E. G. Halleck, E. F. 

 Hurlbut, J. D. Gilchrist, J. H. Baker, Joseph Wallace, Seymour Eocke. 

 They had a practice ground on the Arroyo bottom about half a mile below 

 where the Scoville bridge now stands. The ground was in 1884 turned into 

 a Chinese market garden, and two or three years later was nearly all washed 

 away. During the winter of 1884-85 Mr. Watts sold his Pasadena property 

 and went into a livery stable business in Eos Angeles ; and the " Team " 

 had a prize shoot there on April 28, 1885, for two cups given by Mr. Hurl- 

 but. I found no tradition or record of any of their doings after this 

 date. [See Gov. Markham' s bear story, page 451.] Mr. Townsend had 

 died in 1883 ; Halleck went back to Wisconsin into some sort of railroad 

 business : Heald went to Elsinore, became an editor, boomed a town, and 

 busted ; Markham was elected to Congress, then to the State governorship ; 

 Banbury started a lumber yard, then was elected to the legislature, and had 

 no time for sporting any more ; Wallace started a cannery, and had his 

 hands full ; Gilchrist started a great printing establishment in Eos Angeles, 

 and was tied up there; Baker built the Acme hotel; and so Pasadena's 

 historic ' ' Rifle Team ' ' was scattered and broken up.
