Kansas State Sportsmeii*s Asscxriation Totjfna- 
ment. 
Leavenworth, Kan.— It has been heralded abroad for many 
moons that the Kansas State totirnament for 1901 would be held in 
Leavenworth, and after the following introduction, which was 
printed iu the programme, do you think it was any wonder that 
there were one hinidred shooters present? 
"To our shooting friends:

Is it any surprise, then, after such an invitation that about 
seventy-five shooters were present on the first day? 
A canvass brought out the following names present: O. K. 
Stout, Severance, Kan.; A. Fulton, Bendena, Kan.; G. W. Lindsey,

Simpkins, Lincoln, Neb.; J. E. .Johnson, Atchison, Kan.; G. 
W. Gof?, Leaveriworth, Kan.; Wm. Krall, Pamell, Kan., and W.

The day opened bright, but the sun was soon behind a cloud, and 
a cold wind^ came from the north, and before night quite a lot of 
raiiv fell. The background was a dark one, and the targets hard 
to see, yet very good scores were made, and everything passed 
off in good shape. But the shooters got "cold feet in reality, and 
sorne will not come up in good shape to-morrow. Sunny Kansas 
has gone back on the Leavenworth crowd this time "for sure." 
If everybody was as big and stout and used to out of door life 
as "Buffalo Hump," of Omaha, or Dick Linderman, of Lincoln, 
the weather would not be of such importance; but many a business 
man plans for weeks to take an outing with the boys, and when 
such weather is met with they stand a fair chance of getting 
diseases, such as colds and pneumonia. Most of the shooters, 
however, kept right after the "mud pies," and did not stop until 
the programme was finished. 
The programme was too long; including the two-men team slioot 
it meant 250 shots. It is no wonder some of the boys had lame 
shoulders and headaches, especially when many of them present 
were using shells with more powder and shot tban was necessary 
to burst a clay bird. 
The highest scores for the day, omitting the team shoot, were 
Koohler and Rogers 216; Linderman 216; Spencer, Moore, Parmelee 
and Arnold were close up. 
The most interest was centered in the team shoot, open to 
any two amateurs in the United States, which resulted in the prize 
going to western Kansas. It is strange that shooters do not shoot 
so well in team races as they do in regular events, some of the best 
shots entered going down to 21 and lower. Ed O'Brien and Gott- 
lieb made a straight, while O'Brien's partner lost 3 and Gottlieb's 
lost 4. They were paired as follows: Sexton and Koohler 44, 
Guy and Johnson 37, Clapp and Gottlieb 46, Linderman and 
Moore 44j Waddington and Raines 46, Cunningham and Rogers 42, 
Goff and Lindsey 45, Herr and Arnold 46, O'Brien and Hicks 47. 
The boys did not lack for amusements at night. There was no 
time for the little Indian games that Charley Budd runs. We were 
all out to a vaudeville show and a sparring exhibition and a 
smoker and' free refreshments, and did not get in until 12 o'clock. 
Mrs. Nation had a little trouble at Kansas City, and did not show 
up as yet. What Koohler says goes, and his word is out.

Second Day^ .April J 7. 
Gettins on the gronad? a lit(Jp Iste, I found the scores w?rg not 
as good as yesterday. Wind was blowing across the traps and the 
flight was irregular and puzzling. No two set of traps were send- 
ing the saucers out further than yesterday, and after about tivc to 
ten events had been shot through many of the amateurs put theil' 
guns aside and put on their overcoats, and proceeded to amuse 
themselves by looking on. 
We had new men to-day, viz,, C. C, Herman and Guy Little, of 
Kansas City, Mo.; G. W. Jenkins, Wamego, Kan.; Frank Hodges, 
Olathe. Kan.; C. F. Clay, Perry, Okla.; D. B. Jenkins, White 
City. Kan; F, M, Berkev, Kansas City, Mo.; M. H. McGee, 
Kansas City, Mo.; F. W. Tyson, Oloburg. Kan,, and W. PI. 
HoWai^d, Half Mound, K&n, 
There wete altogether forty-eight participants, yet but twenty- 
three shot the entire plogrHtnme. Of these, four were trade 
represehtatives. 
In explaining the fallihg oil, t wlU mention that the wMther 
conditions were bad, yet the matifier of trapping was somewhat 
responsible for it. The flight was rathct swiftj and the unknown 
angles rather puzzling in a wind alld bad light, 
The attraction was the Rochester Brewing Company challenge 
trophy, the conditions of which were 50 targets per man, entrance 
$3; money divided first high gun, trophy; second, 40 per cent.; 
third, 30 per cent.; fourth, 20 per cent.; fifth, 10 per cent. Open 
to any resident amateur shooter of Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska 
and Oklahoma, and shall be emblematic of the target championship 
ot these States, and shall be competed for at annual tournaments 
of this Association. The holder of trophy to receive $15 for the 
delivery of trophy to the club holding the next tournament. 
Winner of trophy is subject to challenge from any resident of 
the four States. Challenger shall deposit ?10. Winner to take 
money and cup after paying for the targets. Challenger to p\ace 
forfeit in the hands of the sporting editor of the Kansas City Star, 
who shall notify the holder, etc. 
There were sixteen entries, and some good scores were made, 
but none phenomenal. Strange things generally happen in a 
shooting match. Moore made 40 straight, then lost 4 out of the 
last 10, landing him in fourth place alone. Goff broke 25 straight 
and lost 6 in the last string. O'Brien lost but one in the first 
string, and yet fell down in the second. 
The most steady fellows were Linderman, Herr and Arnold. 
Each has a hard luck story, and will tell their grandchildren how 
they lost that "one." But the tie furnished excitement, and much 
pleasure was evinced by the large crowd of shooters and visitors 
present, among whom were a great many old.G. A. R. boys who 
are now living at the Soldiers' Home. Some of them were over- 
heard to remark that they did tiot have smokeless powder at the 
battle of Bull Run, etc. 
The result proved a popular one, as the trophy stays in Kansas 
and goes to Arnold, of the short grass country. 
The tie was shot oft" at 25 targets. Result, Arnold 24, Linderman 
23, Herr 21. Mr. Arnold is about the only live-bird shooter in the 
State, and living on a large farm in the great Arkansas Valley, has 
great opportunity to practice on game. The scores:

Annual Meeting. 
At 9 P. M. the meeting was called to order, with J. W. Sexton, 
president, in the chair, and H. W. Koohler secretary. 
The minutes of last year's meeting were dispensed with, as 
none were on hand. Mr. Koohler explained that his predecessor 
had not favored him with a report of the last meeting. He ex- 
plained how this year's meeting was held at Leavenworth. As the 
constitution and by-laws were misplaced or lost, and with no 
criterion to go by the Leavenworth Gun Club made their own 
rules for the championship this year, viz. : Any Kansas man can 
become a member and contest by paying a fee of 25 cents. Some- 
thing must be done to bring the State Association to the fore 
once more, and should now be reorganized. 
Selecting the place for the next meeting was brought up. and 
Mr. Herr, of Concordia, stated that if no one else wanted the 
shoot next year it could be pulled off at his town, but could not 
guarantee much added money. Mr. Frank Hodges, the genial 
mayor of Olathe, was called to say som.ething for his city. He 
thought that if it came there he would be compelled to see to all 
the work, and he might not have time, etc. The sentiment of the 
old officers and most of those present seemed to favor Olathe. and 
after electing Mr, Hodges President for the coming year, W. H. 
Herr, of Concordia, Vice-President, and H. W. Koohler Secretarj', 
Olathe was selected, and dates chosen not later than May 30. It 
was carried that the chair appoint a committee of three to draft 
a constitution and by-laws for the Kansas State Sportsmen's As- 
sociation, to report at the next meeting, at Olathe. The follow- 
ing were selected: Ed O'Brien, of Florence; H. W. Koohler, of 
Leavenworth, and Frank Hodges, of Olathe. 
Meeting adjourned. 
The Smoker. 
All were invited to the dining room, where a royal spread was 
in waiting and some elegant music was being furnished by the 
Kansas City Colored Mandolin Club. Here again Mr. Koohler 
appeared to be as much at home as on the shooting ground, and 
acted as toast master in a masterly manner. His first attempt was 
in welcoming the boys and friends, and stating that Leavenworth 
had the reputation of being a very hospitable city and receiving 
her guests with open arms. It has been known that no matter 
what gathering was being held at Leavenworth the mayor of 
the town could always be found at the depot ready to lead tjiein 
to some place where a banquet was ready for them. 
The first speaker, after the many good things, such as frog legs 
and several courses, had been indulged in, until everybody was 
more than satisfied, was Mr. Van Trump, of the Rochester Brew- 
ing Company. He said that he was pleased to be able to add 
something for the encouragement of shooting, and yet was selfish 
enough to wish that it might stay in Leavenworth. 
Mr. Koohler then unveiled the cup and called up Mr. Arnold, 
presenting him with same. Mr. Arnold responded, saying he was 
glad to have been hero and be so royally treated, and that should 
any of the Leavenworth sliooters come after the cup by challenge 
he surely would endeavor to give them a hot time. 
Mr, Taylor was called on and invited everybody to St. Louis' 
State toumamwt.. 
Remarks were made by Tom Norton, 
C. D. Linderman and Mr. Shindley. 
Dr. Clapp, Mr. Sexton, 
Third Day, April , 
The shooters were slow in getting out, and started late, though 
the weather was perfect— vety little wind, and sun shining brightly, 
the way the boys were treated and the late hours of going to 
bed were good excuses for coming out tardy. When the squads 
had been made up it was found that there would not be above 
fciur of them, thus a falling off of about half that of the day before. 
Two hundred and twenty-five targets on the regular programme 
and then an extra event bringing the number of shots up to 275, jg 
just about 100 too many for tliree days in succession. Good scores 
were made. 
Only one set of traps was necessary for the day. A good 
lunch was served on the grounds during each day, which was the 
proper thing, as the shooting ground was a long way from the city. 
c , P/"i^'P3l event for to-day was the State trophy, property 
of the Association, and put up for competition each year. It is 
, emblematic of the Kansas State target championship. 
Conditions, 30 targets, unknown angles; entrance ?2.50. The 
winner of the cup receives 40 per cent, of entrance money next 
year upon return of the trophy in good order to the gun club 
giving the next Association tournament. 
There were eleven entries, and competition was close. Rogers, of 
Hiawatha, made the only straight, and won, but the margin was 
narrow, as Goff, Sexton and Johnson made 29, Arnold and 
Koohler 28, O'Brien and Herr 27, George and Erhart 26, and 
Hodges 25.

Pucfcle's Repeater. 
From the New \''ork Times Saturday Review. 
rycKLE was the inventor of Buckle's machine, a formidable 
engine of destruction that was tested on the artillery grounds at 
Finsbury in 1722 Concerning this novel piece of oVdnance, Mr. 
Dobson says: Judging by the contemporary description, it must 
fiave been a sort of _ exaggerated revolver, mounted on a tripod 
and expellmg its missiles through a single long barrel from a 
breech of six or more chambers. This breech could be removed 
and another substituted for it, containing, according to the taste 
and fancy of the artillerist, either round bullets for Christians or 
square bullets for unbelievers. The apparatus was also available 
lor Grenado shells. Its performance, from the account given 
m the London Journal for Saturday, March 31, 1722, must have 
been highly satisfactory. " "Tis reported for certain," says this 
veracious print, "that one man discharged it 63 times in 7 minutes 
though all the while raining; and that it throws off either one 
large pr 16 musquet bullets at every discharge, with very great 
force. Letters patent were taken out covering the machine and 
a joint stock company was formed to put it on the market for 
those were the hopeful days of South Sea Bubbies and Mississippi' 
companies. But Puckle was before Ins time, the Briti'^h war office 
was as slow and unenterprising 200 years ago as it is believed bv 
man5' to be now, the machine was laughed at. and Mr. Dobson 
has been unable to find any other account of it or trace its sUb 
sequent history. A South Sea squib, "The Bublers Mirrour " 
characterizes it as: ' 
A rare invention to Destroy the Crowd.
