Sixth Indian Tournament. 
West Baden Springs, lad., Aug. .12.— As the sun went down be- 
hind the lovely hills that surround the valley in which the ^ great 
health resort is situated, so passed into history the annual "pow- 
wow" and tournament of the Indian tribe of the scatter gun. 
During the past four days, under cloudless skies, the "braves" 
have "fought the good fight," while the squaws and papooses have 
looked on, each hoping that their own might achieve some mighty 
deed that would endear them still more to their hearts. In so far 
as the supremacy was concerned, while each one at times bid 
fair to go to the front as a "bluerock" destroyer, all fell by the 
wayside save that long-to-bc remembered one, who in the end dis- 
tanced them all, viz., Chief Kinnekennick. The second raters 
were bunched, save the "Much-talked" Clwef, the wizard of 
Okoboji, who kept slightly in the lead until near the close, when 
another chief waylaid him and camped on his trail. 
The coming together at this lovely spot was brought about 
through some arrangements between the Chiefs Much Talk, Long 
Talk and Bald Eagle, whereby the enterprising manager of the 
West Baden Hotel Co., Col. Lee St. Clair, offered inducements 
which caused his grounds to be selected for the 1904 meet. 
Here were gathered for a week over fifty of the best amateur 
and professional shots of the country; and a lovely time they had. 
The hotel accommodations are the very best, and besides the 
healthful water, the opportunities for rest and enjoying a vacation 
could not be improved upon. The squaws and papooses here as- 
sembled could not have been better entertained at any other spot 
in this world of ours. . . . 
The whole week was one round of pleasure. lhe visiting 
ladies, not squaws, were well cared for by those of the squaws 
who were present. All the time, and especially the evenings, were 
one round of dances, card games and a season of enjoyment, 
socially, which will for all time remain the one bright lovely re- 
membrance. ■ - , 
Those present were: Squaws— Mesdames Heikes, Head, Marsh- 
all Eugene Mallory, J- F. Mallory, S. Mallory, Tripp, Riehl, 
Burmister Voris and Johnstone. The papooses were Master Roy 
Mallory Mamie Voris, Miss Maud Marshall, Ethel Mallory Miss 
Ethel Rike. The visiting shooters' wives were: Mrs. G. T. 
Durham Mrs. H. J. Anderson, Mrs. Joe Barton, Mrs. J. Craig, 
Mrs Albert Tripp, Mrs. C. Manzy and Mrs. St. Clair Parry. 
The invitation to this sixth annual tournament was cheery 
and inviting. It read thus : "The Indians hereby extend to all 
sportsmen a most cordial invitation to be present with wives and 
children The squaws and papooses of the Indians will be there 
in a body in charge of the tepees, and will furnish entertainment 
to wives and children of visiting sportsmen." 
What more could a shooter want? Excursion rates on all roads, 
finest hotel accommodations, together with all manner of enter- 
tainment that fancv" could conjecture, not a minute of idle time. 
To the shooter the chance to play even was found m the further 
announcement that $1,000 in cash and trophies would be added. 
This then, was not to be a cold-blooded affair not a shoot for 
cold 'cash- but more than that, a sociable gathering, where friend 
meets friend, all trying for personal pleasure, all on an equality; 
no professional, no amateur-all shooting from lGyds.; nobody 
ba Not d 'a kick was registered; no occasion for same. Some needed 
some one to kick them now and then for poor scores made. Of 
course the shells were all right,, so were the guns. There was 
plenty of sulphur in the air at times, and it almost caught fire. 
Tike when Gilbert lost four out of five right angles, Chief Long 
Talk lost a few slight angles also, but he dare not say a word— 
b M r re Paul 1 North was present with his son Kent and his brother 
Charies They took charge of the two traps, and for the whole 
time attended faithfully and impartially to the refereemg and 
scaring It was said that some of Paul's score cards looked very 
much like a Chinese puzzle when they went into the cashier s 
de"k yet when Fred Whitney paid off at night all were fully sat- 
isfied that the totals had been sent in correctly. 
Interstate Association rules were used. Money divided per 
cent., viz , 40, CO, 20, 10 in 15-target events, and 30, 25, 20, 15 and 
1 Vo n r 2 the"three e days S 'there was a steady grind of two 15 and a 20- 
target event, until 200 shots had been fired; then at the close of 
the third day the Mallory brothers' cup was up for disposal. This 
was to be shot for annually at 50 targets, with distance handicap, 
ooc-n to all participants in the annual tournament. 
There were forty-eight entries, including the three Mallory 
brothers who entered, but did not shoot. No extreme distances 
were -iven only Crosby, and Gilbert, getting the 20yd. while 
eleven were on the 19 peg line. No. 2 trap was used which was 
the faster of the two. The first round of 25 developed some ■sur- 
prises as only Heer and Parker went straight, and Money, Wil- 
?" and Barto got 24. Some of the best shots made low scores 
Star"no the second strong, there was much interest delayed, 
and Heer and Parker were the ones most closely matched, while 
Afcnev was not to be overlooked. The sun was getting low, and 
Vu iLJ™L rUt bv the western hills were not conducive to a 
uniform Hght Ye tsome" shot better, while the leaders ell away, 
umtorm , K] . improved, while Money fell off, for 
tWrst sc ad Gilbert got 24 and tied with Money ; on 46; Klein

fid not "t on to t he money. Yet Riehl developed a winning gait 
tnd broke n straight, losing his last target-same as the lot 
and , br ° k ( ^ ^-„" % t he first string. The third squad had the 
ri t be a f n e i Second I man. Though Willard, the Chicago giant, 
wS on the -back 19yd. mark, he duplicated his first score of 24 
and as Heer lost 3, as did Parker when his turn came he was 
returned the winner of the cup and first money. Heer had three 
returneu uic surely centering each one. Ed O Brien 
and Rhodes mprov d" and with a 24 each, got into third money 
Parker c^e "n With the evening shades increasing and though

lie .n a win *n better light, as two of his lost targets seemed hare, 
hit.' 
made straight scores, and Gambell, Voris, Kinney and John 
Burmister accounted for 24 each. 
After the evening feast had been discussed, the annual dance 
and business meeting of the tribe took place. Several of the 
braves were fitted out with red Indian costumes, feathers and all 
the toggery, and they proceeded to give an Indian dance in the 
great rotunda of the hotel. Their yell and beating of the gong 
was the signal for all about the house to assemble and witness the 
dance, which was very interesting, as it was imitative. At the 
conclusion the whole tribe followed the High Chief into a spacious 
room, where the proceedings were open only to good Indians. 
The proceedings were reported by the scribe as follows: 'The 
officers reports were accepted without amendment, and all for- 
mer officers were re-elected, viz.: Tom Marshall, High Chief; 
W. B. Crosby, Vice Chief; Frank C. Riehl, Chief Scribe; C. W. 
Budd, Chief of Wampum. Five new members were chosen into 
the tribe, and a limit of sixty-five was established for next year, 
this providing for a minimum of seven vacancies to be filled at 
the next annual meeting. The newly elected Indians were Hugh 
Clark, Wabash, Ind. ; Geo. Roll, Blue Island, 111.; Lem Willard, 
South Chicago; J. D. L. Morrison, Minneapolis; Ed Brady, New- 
bern, Tenn. Some steps were taken with a view of looking to a 
broader scope of fraternal feeling, and work within the tribe and 
the proper committees were named to formulate plans. The 
thanks of the tribe were voted to the press, and West Baden Hotel 
Co.. as well as the North family, for the many courtesies ex- 
tenden; to Mallory brothers and to Mrs. Johnstone for the splendid 
prizes that they donated, and to officers and committee for services 
rendered in successfully conducting the work." 
The last day was a repetition of the first as to weather. There 
was some excitement as to how the averages would result, and it 
was almost a dead heat between Gilbert, Money and Heer for the 
second place. Money made a great run of 128 straight, and with 
a loss of but 6, made high score for the day, as the. only T. Bill' 
lost 7. Heer, being somewhat handicapped with a sore finger and 
his gun not fitting him, lost 11, the same number he missed on 
the first two days. Gilbert went him one better, and thus did the 
champions finish. Ed O'Brien and George Roll did a little stunt 
Q-f QPj per cent 
When the smoke, of the great battle had cleared away, as. 10,000 
bluerocks had "bit the dust" each day, the roll was made out 
and the cup shooting started. Whether by chance or by selection, 
I did not note, at the time, but when Crosby, Gilbert Piehl 
and Hirschy got on the team, there was "something doing." They 
started out to give an exhibition, and they did. On the 24th 
round, Hirschy alone missed one little saucer, and the score board 
registered 124 out of 125. Passing to the next, there was a deter- 
mination to repeat if possible. The pressure was intense, and only 
Gilbert and Crosby stood the test, while Hirschy made 49, Powers 
49, Riehl 48, and missed his last to do that. 
Then came the shoot-off between Crosby and Gilbert; and all 
eyes were on them. The first 25 all were' shattered ; then another 
round was tried, and here Gilbert fell down, and Crosby went 
straight. A grand score of 100 for Crosby and 99 for Gilbert. 
Tn the 80 per cent, class Wm. Clayton made 49 and won out. 
In the 70 per cent, class Thorpe, of Nebraska, made 43 and won.
