Weir City's Successful Shoot. 
Weir City, Kan , May 11.— Here at Weir, on May 8-10, away down in 
the southeastern corner of Kansas, -was held the ninth annual tourna- 
ment of the Amateur Trap-Shooters 1 Association of Missouri and 
Kansas, Weir is a busy little city of about 7,000 inhabitants, and is 
the center of the great coal and zinc industries of the State. Aside 
from the prominent part that Weir City plays in the history of the 
Sunflower State in the production of minerals and metals, she is 
known for the aggregation of gentlemanly "sports" who claim the 
little city for their residence. In years gone by Weir City has been 
known among men for her baseball team, for her foot-racers and her 
boxers, but to-day she is better known throughout the Southwest for 
her gun club. The Business Men's G-un Club of Weir is composed of 
the leading business and professional men in the city. Dr. D. W. 
King, its president, and mayor of the city, is a thorough sportsmen. 
When the writer reached Weir he found the Doctor fulfilling his 
duties as mayor, by spending his night in person at the mammoth 
works of the Cherokee Zinc Co., "where his presence was needesd in 
the interest of law and order, arising from the recent labor troubles 
here. At daylight the next morning the Doctor was going the rounds 
of his patients; during the day he was on the shooting grounds, 
working and shooting in the interest of the blub, while in the evening 
he acted as chairman of the entertaining committee. 
Secretary W. W. Mcllhany, one of Weir's business men, was prob- 
ably the busiest of the local shooters. He found time duringthe usual 
rush of business incumbent upon the cashier to help till up a squad, 
and while not always at the top, sustained his reputation, under try- 
ing circumstances, as a target smasher. C. C. Calhoun, vice-president 
of the local club, shot in great form, and aside from winning the indi- 
vidual championship trophy, he made the only straight in the Owl 
team contest. 
On Tuesday afternoon, previous to the opening day of the tourna- 
ment, the shooters began to arrive, and some little practice was in- 
dulged in. Wednesday morning about thirty shooters were on hand, 
which number during the day was increased to forty or more, making 
a nice shoot. Among the visiting shooters were C F. Reust, of Frauk- 
fort, Kan., who last year won the State trophy; M. F. McDonald, C. D. 
Taylor and H. M. Davis, of Richmond, Mo., who made the score of 59 
out of 60 in a team shoot at Atchison last month; J. J. Cornett (L. C. 
Smith), of Lineus, Mo., who is one of the best target shots in Missouri; 
J. W. Barre, of Louisiana; J. W. Sexton, of Leavenworth, and the irre- 
pressible Lou Erhardt, of Atchison, than whom there is no more pop- 
ular man in the West. Lou is the life of every shoot he attends, and 
none throughout the Southwest would be complete without his smil- 
ing faoe and jolly laughter. Numerous other shooters, formerly un- 
known to the writer, were on hand, and among them were those who 
could set a pace hard to keep at target shooting. Blueroek traps and 
targets were used, and Paul North's new electric pull fully demon- 
strated that it was equal to any of the devices for "slugging the pies " 
John Parker ("Des-Chres-Chooska Jack"), of Detroit, Mich., repre- 
senting the Winchester Repeating Arms Co., the E. C. Powder Co. and 
the Chamberlin Cartridge and Target Co., managed the tournament, 
and as usual everything went off smoothly. Jack commenced by thor- 
oughly organizing the local force, and never throughout the shoot 
was there a hitch or balk of any duration. About 16,000 bluerocks 
were thrown, and none were easy. Still, the high scores made at un- 
known angles, and at unknown traps and angles, proved beyond ques- 
tion that they could be broken, even by amateurs. 
On Thursday evening the annual meeting of the Association was 
held. Joplin, Mo., was selected as the place to hold the shoot in '96. 
Dr. D. W. King was elected president of the Association, with A. 
Dixon, of Joplin, vice-president, Tim Malioy, of Joplin, secretary, and 
E. L. Fay, of Springfield, treasurer. The dates for the next tourna- 
ment will be announced by the Joplin Club Local papers boomed the 
shoot in great shape and the citizens turned out in flonks to witness 
the sport. Ample arrangements were made at the Ball Park to ac- 
commodate both shooters and spectators, and the visitors all united 
in the opinion that the grounds were perfect for trap-shooting. 
Kansas City, Kan., won the great "owl" contest, with Weir City a 
close second. Dr. King, in a few well cho-en words, presented the 
winners each with a handsome owl pin donated by manager Parker. 
The Kansas first team won the State contest of Missouri vs. Kansas, 
with a score of 139 out of 150 (six men). The individual champion- 
ship contest was the most exciting of the shoot, ana was won by C H. 
Calhoun, of Weir City, who shot out A L Bennett, of Kansas City, on 
a score of 27. Mcllhany, of Weir City, and Reust, of Frankfort, were 
a close second on 26. One noticeable feature of the tournament was 
the entire absence of the black powder fiend, as not a single load was 
fired throughout the three days.

This concluded the programme for the day, but sweepstake shoot- 
ing was continued in all its phases, from common singles, through un- 
known doubles, to Jack Parker's "Dfs-chres-choos-ka game," and 
only the darkness of the closing day put an end to the greatest tour- 
nament ever held by the Owl Association. 
< The Joplin boys were loud in their praise of the tournament, as in 
fact were all visitors; and Vice-President Allen Dixon prophecies 
even a more glorious meeting in the thriving city of St. Joseph in 
1896, while all alike will hope to meet "Jack" Parker asrain in the 
capacity of manager. Smokeless. 
Go to Memphis. 
Mr Irby Bennett writes very enthusiastically of the earning Mem- 
phis tournament, and there is every reason to believe his statements 
are well within probability: "We have worked earnestly, and at last 
our programmes are out— at least will be to-morrow— and we'll mail 
you the first, one. I attended the DuPont shoot last week and there 
saw many of the prominent shooters. T am certain I will not exagger- 
ate if I predict the largest attendance of shooters at our tournament 
ever seen in America. They are coming from every quarter, and 
many are impatient for the day. Our programme says: 'We are going 
to have a dead square shoot,' and that is exactly what we mean. 
Every honest, square shooter will hive a good time at the only Mem- 
phis and go away with pleasant remembrances and a determination 
to return again, but the 'other fellow' has no place here, and if he 
comes he must shoot according to the programme, 'dead square.' We 
will introduce something new during our tournament. We will shoot 
from a double set of 15 traps. That is at No. 1, two traps; No. 2, two 
traps, and so on. When a shooter calls 'pull' and the bird breaks in 
the trap it is enly necessary to call 'pull' again, and the bird goes from 
'the sister trap.' Or, in case a trap breaks it causes no delay, and we 
hope to obviate many delays that would occur under ordinary cir- 
eumstanciS. 
"I had hoped to be in Chicago for the shoot, but fear it will not be 
possible. Divine and I cannot both go to Kaoxville and Chicago, and 
I guess it will result in my going to Knoxviile, while Tom will make 
himself heard in your company. Irby Bennett."
