South Dakota State Tournament. 
Hot Springs, S. D., Aug. 30.—The past two days have 
been busy ones at the gun club grounds, as the club 
here has been entertaining the visitors from abroad who 
were present at their invitation to hold the annual South 
Dakota shooting tournament. 
The weather was good; the attendance fair—that is, the 
traveling men were out in full force, there being ten of 
these good fellows present; but the amateurs and State 
shooters were not present in as large numbers as ex¬ 
pected when the divisions of moneys is considered. 
There were four equal divisions, with the express un¬ 
derstanding that every man shooting into the money 
should receive his money back; that is, the amount paid 
in for that event. 
Those present: H. C. Rinkle, Aberdeen, S. D.; Mar¬ 
shall Sharp, Omaha, Neb.; W. H. Heer, Concordia, 
Kans.; Frank Riehl, Alton, Ill.; F. O. Soller, Sheri¬ 
dan, Wyoming; Ted Ackerman, Ballerino, S. D.; R. 
Kline, Spirit Lake, la.; IT. G. Taylor, Meckling, S. D.; 
S. A. Huntley, Omaha; C. A. Young, Columbus, O.; 
H. W. Kahler, Davenport, la.; Tom Hartman, Deer 
Creek, Oklahoma; Charles Spencer, St. Louis, Mo.; 
Chris. Gottlieb, Kansas City, Mo.; R. R. Barber, Paulina, 
la.; E. R. .Tackett, M. R. Morgan, G. C. Wooster, IT. 
Gayhart, D. McNeal and Emil Hargroves, Hot Springs, 
■ S. D.; R. J. McNish and George Coats, Hill City, S. D.; 
R. Walker, Deadwood, S. D.; G. L. Pitt, Crawford. Neb. 
Most of the visitors were not well pleased with the 
background and the way the targets were thrown. The 
traps worked very poorly, and when a perfect target 
was sprung, it went up against a red sandstone bluff 
and was hard to see. Only men With a “hye like han 
heagle” could get them. ITeer, Spencer and PI. Taylor 
seemed to catch on, and they alone made their average. 
The shoot-off for the trophy was a lively one, as Acker- 
jnan and Huntley tied on 48, and Ackerman won on 
shoot-off. This was known as the G. W. Hiller trophy, 
and Walker, Pitt, Taylor and Gayhart made 47. 
On the second day Heer came away with a fine meer¬ 
schaum pipe, as he easily won high—and deserved to win 
■—with a run of 131 on such conditions. 
The next shoot will be held at either Deadwood or 
Belle Fourche. IT. G. Taylor was elected President, 
mid Bert Rogers, of Deadwood, Secretary. The scores:
