In Other Places. 
There was an all-day shoot held by the Milan Rock Gun Club, 
of Milan, 111., on Saturday last. The best marksmen were awarded 
money prizes, and now and then a turkey was sandwiched in just 
to enliven the occasion and break the monotony. A large crowd 
was present, and all seemed glad to meet again during the holi- 
days. 
The turkey shoot held at Madison, Ind., on Friday last was a 
great success, and the procession that wended its way home after 
the shoot was a wonder to behold. Mr. Hillabold, who handles 
the money belonging to the city, carried off one turkey and all 
the ducks, and yet it was Wm. Heeks who made the best average 
for the whole day. 
In a communication received from Shelbyville, Ind., it was 
stated that there would be a shoot held by the Milroy Gun Club 
on Friday, to which everybody was invited. 
The scores of those who shot through the entire programme at 
the Recreation Gun Club, of Cleveland, O., which consisted of 70 
targets were as follows: Rice 62, McMeans 56, Hull 58, Ducommun 
47, Do'olittle 57, Burns 58, Frank 54, Kramer 56, Carter 42, Saffold 
45, Toby 42, Hogan 52. Burns won the first. Rice the second, 
McMeans the third, and Hull the fourth in the poultry events. 
There was rare sport for the northern Ohio boys so long as the 
poultry held out. 
On Jan. 2 there was a big shooting tournament held by the 
Irish Progressive Gun Club, of Denver, Colo., for the benefit of 
its members and their friends. The list of entries was very large, 
and many valuable prizes were hung up. Every indication pointed 
to a grand success, although the delayed mails did not permit 
of giving the detailed scores herewith. 
A meagre report is just at hand which states that on Tuesday 
last there was a shoot at Houghton, Mich., in which the Han- 
cock, Calumet and Houghton clubs were represented.. The Peters 
medal was won by Fred Funky, of Hsncock, while J. H. Rice 
v.'on the president's medal. As there were fifteen present, the 
sport was reported excellent. 
Flying rifle targets, bluerocks for shotgun events, all in the 
presence of a handicap committee, was the "go" at Lincoln, Neb., 
on Tuesday. It was the preliminary for a silver cup contest. 
At Capron, 111., on Tuesday there was held the third contest for 
the Hunter Arms Co. badge. The day was wet and disagreeable, 
and many of those eligible were kept away. Dr. Herbert, of 
Popular Grove, won, but only by beating out L. Munn in the 
shoot-off of the tie. It was exciting, as both made a 25 straight, 
and the winner won with one only on the last five. There will be 
another contest soon. It seems from the scores made that after 
a shooter has been moved back from the 16yd. mark that his 
chances for a win "go glimmering." 
The Newark, O., Gun Club won the Phellis trophy in a com- 
petition at the Dayton club's grounds last Thursday, in which 
the Cincinnati and the Dayton clubs were competitors. 
The secretary of the gun club at Martins Ferry, O., sends the 
information that on Monday afternoon, although the weather was 
unfavorable, most of the members and a number of spectators 
were out to see the contest for the prizes to be awarded the vari- 
ous classes. Charles Updegraff with 77 out of the 100 was awarded 
the prize donated by the Peters Cartridge Company. In Class B, 
it was Thomas L. Williams who won with 39 out of 50, with it 
going a handsome watch presented by John Mader. Then in the 
Class C event a watch chain was the present that fell to the lot 
of George Roupe. 
If the following report is correct there is something for the 
game warden to investigate at Dayton, O. : "Three of the wild 
turkeys trapped in Auglaize county for the Dayton Gun Club 
shoot escaped and took flight for the big woods. There are sixty 
more in the coops." 
The Eaton, O., Gun Club held a shoot on Friday, and as the 
prizes were poultry, suitable to the holidays, there was an exciting 
time for all present. 
In the Goshen, O., Gun Club's annual shoot, held Saturday, the 
honors were equally divided between Edward and Peter Leever. 
The Sanduskj', O., Gun Club will hold a special meeting on 
Saturday evening. Business of importance will come up, and th« 
programme for future shoots will be arranged. 
The members of the Menominee, Mich., Gun Club were all re- 
quested to meet on Saturday evening to discuss the next State 
meeting. 
A postponed meeting of the Ishpeming, Mich., Gun Club will 
be held this Saturday evening at their club rooms. 
So far north as Green Bay, Wis., the gvm club boys engage in 
the shooting line as a holiday sport. In their next venture, there 
will be sides chosen, as the president will appoint two captains ' 
for this purpose, and the losing side will pay for a supper, and 
there will be one pleasant winter evening spent that will have a 
bearing on the future welfare of the club. 
Charlie Budd's town, Des Moines, la., has been putting on some 
new life since the State shoot for next year was awarded to them. 
Clay bird shooting has been going on all winter. Well, they 
must be up and doing, as there will be some hustling to get 
ready for the shoot, which is set for such an early date as March 
14. The Hon. Mr. Budd has given out that the programmes would 
soon be forthcoming. If this is so, it will be something new 
under the sun, as in the past nearly all State associations issue 
their programmes at a date so late as to be worthless to those 
W'ho patronize them with advertising. 
Detroit, Mich., Dec. 30. — Under difficulties the monthly shoot of 
the Detroit Live Bird Club was held at the Rusch House 
grounds on Friday. There was a very cold wind blowing across 
the traps, and the birds escaped with much regularity. It was 
more a feast of wit than a killing feature, as all were determined 
to make the best of the weather, and not worry about the lost 
birds. There were present such old time, jovial fellows as Joe 
Marks and Jack Parker, who have for many years been renowned 
for their good humor when present at tournaments. Jack has not 
been seen so much at tournaments of late years as formerly, yet 
he can tell as good stories as of old, and here he had ample op- 
portunity, as the shooting dragged along. Joe Marks was kept 
busy the while replenishing the fire, and he and Jack surely kept 
the whole crowd in good humor, and thus they were satisfied 
with life. When Jack got through with the score and carried out 
the totals, it was found that Tolsma was the only man who could 
point the gun straight in the heavy wind. How he did it will re- 
main a mystery to his companions, as in shooting^ at the 15 live 
birds Springborn had downed 11, Chapman 12, Ford 9, Mercier 10, 
Marks 11, . Dailie 8, Kittleberger 9, and Morris 11. 
Massillon, O., Jan. 2.— The holiday shoot held here was a great 
success, as there were five squads shot through the day. There 
was a cold, disagreeable wind to contend with, yet all "stuck to 
the text," and there were more than 1,500 bluerocks thrown from 
the new trap, which gave entire satisfaction to all. It was espe- 
cially gratifying to note the large number of new men who were 
taking part. They were making such a good showing that all will 
be encouraged to attend regularly the club shoots. This club lays 
distinction to being one of the three best clubs in the State. The 
best scores were made by Meneuz, Koonts, Cabbut, Taggart and 
Jones; Meneuz breaking 21 and 22 out of strings of 25. 
Davenport, la., Jan 5.— The old historic Gun Club, well-known 
as the Cumberland, of this city, held a meeting on Tuesday even- 
ing, it being a special session for the purpose of considering a 
change in the place of holding their club shoots and tournaments, 
for which it is famous. The ground adjoining the Schuetzen 
Park having been sold, it became necessary to make a change. 
An offer was made by the management in charge of the resort 
known as Grand Island, in which it was proposed to lease the 
grounds necessary for shooting purposes for. a period of ten years 
av the nominal sum of $1 yearly. Besides this, the plan was con- 
curred in by the Davenport & Suburban Railway Company, with 
a further proposition to erect at the isle a suitable club house 
free of expense to the club. A free discussion with Henry Eg- 
gers in the chair, resulted in the change being agreed to. One 
more shoot will be held at the old park, and then the big shoot 
that was scheduled for Jan. 15 will be postponed until some time 
in February, when there will be a grand opening announced, and 
all the trap shots in the surrounding country will be invited. 
Even the whole contingent of experts will be welcomed, that the 
new grounds may be opened with a grand tournament. Daven- 
port has for years been noted for holding a shoot on Feb. 22 
each year. They were usually held by the Forrester club, and 
live birds were the attraction. But live bird shooting will now be 
"a thing of the past" in Iowa. It would be an easy matter, .how- 
ever, for the Davenport, Rock Island and Moline men to get 
together and hold a good shoot on Illinois soil. 
The attendance at the shoot given on last Thursday by Chas. 
Dick, of Glenwood, la., was very gratifying to the management. 
The shotgun men from Council Bluffs were present, and a goodly 
feeling prevailed, as there were turkeys, ducks and geese in 
abundance. 
Mr. R. Tyner won a first prize, a beautiful silver cup, at the 
clay target shoot held at Connersville, Ind., on Saturday last. 
The second prize went to Mr. H. Pressler. There will be another 
shoot Monday afternoon. Scores were various. 
Indications still point to a big, if not the largest, tournament 
of this year to be held at Portland, Ore., during the fair.. The 
president of the Multomah Rod and Gun Club has called a meet- 
ing for the purpose of getting the members interested. A com- 
mittee will wait on those in charge of the sports for the fair, and 
hope to get a donation of some $10,000 as prizes. If this is as- 
sured, then the Clark- Lewis fair will in that respect eclipse the late 
World's Fair held at St. Louis. 
Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., has not so froze up as to dampen the 
ardor of the trap of the Country Gun Club, as a meet was 
scheduled there for this week. Shooters from other towns were 
expected. 
The best information comes from the West, that many club 
members were too busy selling goods before Christmas to attend 
to the annual meeting. Salem, N. D., was reported in this list. 
This would indicate that trapshooting would be on the increase 
next year, as good crops and good times increase the amount of 
trapshooting. 
We note with pleasure that Thos. L. Williams, who has made a 
success with the management of the Valley Gun Club, of Martins 
Ferry, has been re-elected as president. The other officers are , 
very capable also, as the field captain is John Millard; treasurer, 
Richard Lynch ; corresponding secretary, James Bowman ; financial 
secretary, Chas. H. Williams; trustees, Chas. Updegraff, James 
Maguire, Winfield Clark, Wm. Mcintosh and Roger Joseph. 
The Jan. 1 shoot of the Detroit Rusch House Club was post- 
poned until the Jan. 18 meet of the Riverside Gun Club. The 
wind is cold and fierce by the lake outlet. 
Despite cold fingers and dimmed eyesight, there was a large 
gathering of target "busters" at the Highland Gun Club grounds 
on Jan. 2. In the events having 10 targets each, there were a 
few straight scores, Patti being in the lead with four highs. 
To the Indians. 
While our mutual friend, the late E. D. Fulford, was not an 
Indian, he might have been if he had applied for election. He 
was of the metal that makes good Indians, one of the makers 
and supporters of the game of trapshooting, and the friendly pulse 
of his great heart included every gentleman whom he had ever 
met in the pursuit of his favorite sport. 
It was these great traits of his character that suggested the idea 
of a memorial fund to erect a suitable monument to his memory, 
and feeling that we as a tribe must wish to be among the first in 
the promotion of so worthy a work, the undersigned some time 
ago called upon the Brother Chiefs for such individual subscrip- 
tions to the Fulford Memorial Fund as each might feel inclined 
to make. Mr. J. T. Skelly, custodian of this fund, states that 
fully half of the tribe has already responded, but it is desired to 
close the list, and thinking that some intending donors may have 
overlooked the matter, the above is submitted for the earnest 
consideration of any who may wish to contribute. Yours for the 
cause.
