Newark Gun Club Tournament. 
The Newark, O., Gun Club held a tournament on Sept. 27 and 
28 which was quite successful, though not so well attended as had 
been hoped for. The weather on both days was all that could be 
desired, and E. S. Browne, who had charge of the affair, did 
everything possible to make .things pleasant for the visitors. From 
a number of quiet hints which were thrown out by various shoot- 
ers, we are of the opinion he succeeded. The shooting began at 
9:30 A. M. each day, and was over a Leggett trap, which gave 
good satisfaction. 
The trade was represented by L. J. Squier, R. L. Trimble, D; D. 
Gross, John R. Taylor and R. B. McNeil, 
The office was in charge of J. R. Taylor as cashier, and he was 
assisted by R. B. McNeil. Needless to say things went smoothly 
here. .... 
The programme consisted of four events at 15 and seven at 20 
targets each day; total entrance, $20 per day; money divided 40, 
30, 20 and 10 per cent. The high average money, $65, was divided 
$.30, $20, .$10 ' and $5. 
On the first day thirty-five shooters took part. Johnson was 
high with 182; Trimble second with 181; Hatcher and Alkire third 
with 179. 
On the second day forty men were present, and twenty-seven 
■'vent through. King was high with 189; Snow second with 183; 
Hulshizer and Squier third with 181 each. 
For the two days King won high average and took first money 
as well as the silver loving cup given by Laflin &■ Rand for high 
amateur. Hatcher was second, 358; Johnson 356, Alkire 350. High 
professional average was taken by Trimble, 360. 
On the afternoon of the last day the match for the Phellis 
trophy was shot, the Indianola Gun Club, of Columbus, having 
challenged. Events . 7, 8 and- 9 of the programme constituted this 
match. Three teams were entered, the challenger, one from 
Marietta and one from Newark. The home team won by 4 tar- 
gets from Indianola, and 15 from Marietta. King, of Newark, 
and Webster and Rhoads, of the Indianola team, were high with 
48 each. Flulshizer, of Newark, and Speary, of Marietta second, 
with 47 each. The scores : 
Phellis trophy match, six-man teams, 60 targets: 
Newark Team. Indianola Team, Columbus.

The lodiaas' Memorial to Emil Werfc, 
Look onward! From the stricken lodge. 
Where earthly sorrow bides. 
Triumphant, o’er the shining trail. 
The warrior spirit rides. . 
Once for every God-given spirit upon earth comes the fleet 
runner with his message of a soul’s release from this transitory 
career — heavy and sad tidings to those that remain, because in 
every life there is so much of nobility and -worth, of which only 
those nearest and dearest are aware. But in this message that 
Emil Werk, Cliief Rio Grande, abides with us no rnore, there 
comes the sense of sorrow and personal loss — of a shining light 
gone out forever, not to a few, but to many hearts in many States 
throughout the land. 
In the tribal wigwam of the Indiana there is one more vacant 
place, while the artist strives with utmost fidelity to inscribe a 
tablet for the gallery of fam-e that will truly reflect the nobility of 
character, the greatness of mind and genial temperament of him 
whom it has pleased the Manitou to call thus early to the Happy 
Hunting Grounds. We valued him for his counsel in annual 
conclave and in sundry temporary camps upon the daily trail; 
cherished him for his true friendship that never failed in any 
emergency, and loved him as a brother for his own great love of 
nature and of all mankind, and those indefinable qualities of sports- 
manship which he everywhere manifested by action, deed, word 
and song, and which endeared him alike to all. 
Taking comfort in the faith and promise of the great Book of 
Nature., whose profound philosophy he so dearly loved, we extend 
to his family and relatives in their yet deeper sorrow, our sincere 
sympathy and condolence; and in witness thereof affix hereto the 
seal of The Indians, this thirtieth day of September, 1905.

Misfire. ' 
! 
An automobilist who 
was touring through 
the 
country 
saw, 
walking ahead of him, a 
man followed by a dog. 
As the machine 
drew near them the dog started suddenly to cross the road; he. 
was hit by the car and killed immediately. The motorist stopped 
his machine and approached the owner. 
“I’m very sorry, my man, that this has happened,” he said. 
“Will five dollars fix it?” 
“Oh, yes,” said the man, “five dollars will fix it, I guess.” i 
Pocketing the money as the car disappeared in the distance, he 
looked down at the dead animal. 
“I wonder whose dog it was?” he said.— Harper’s Weekly. 1
