WINCHESTER 
LIGHT WEIGHT MODEL 1886 RIFLES 
.45-70 GOV’T. CALIBER 
Big game hunters who cling to the old reliable .45-70 Govern¬ 
ment cartridge will find that Winchester Model 1886 Light 
Weight Rifles made in that caliber will suit them in every 
way. They are lighter and handier than other rifles handling 
this cartridge, and, like all ^Vinchester rifles, shoot strong and 
accurately and wear well. They are made with 22-inch round 
nickel steel barrels, in Solid Frame and Take-Down styles. The 
former weighs only about 6 3-4 pounds and the latter about 
7 pounds. This rifle and Winchester High Velocity Cartridges, 
which are made for it, make a very effective combination.

Marion Tournament. 
Marion, Ind., Oct. 10. — The past two days will long 
be remembered by the members of the newly organized 
Marion Gun Club. Tuesday and Wednesday were chosen 
as the time to hold their first annual tournament, and 
now that it is a matter of history and the visiting shoot¬ 
ers have departed for their homes, the home boys are 
satisfied that they have done their part, and that the 
failure, so far as the last day was concerned, may all 
be attributed to the weather. 
\\ ho in eastern Indiana ever knew of a snowstorm in 
this locality coming before a frost? Well, such was the 
state of the weather on Oct. 10, in the city of Marion, 
and this, together with the wind and cold rain of the 
first day, cut down the attendance so noticeably the 
second day. 
On Tuesday there were thirty-five present, many of 
them being the best shots of the state, and yet don’t 
read the scores and say that all were out of form, as the 
strong wind and black clouds would put any one to the 
bad. Only Kit Shepardson held up well, and he is so 
broad-sl.ouidered that the wind could not blow him 
out of line. When Heikes lets 15 get the best of him and 
Lee Barkley more than that, then others have a license 
to go way down to below the 85 and 90 marks. 
The club has fine grounds, well situated on the street 
car line, thus easy of access; background open and 
eastward, with club house and automatic trap. Thus the 
foundation is here to build up a club, and now that the 
members number seventy-five, with live officers, pos¬ 
sessing the spirit of enterprise, the lovers of trapshooting 
may hope to attend many good tournaments at this 
club’s grounds in the future. 
Those present were: K. C. Shepardson, La Grange, 
Ind.; Austin Flynn, Wabash; Rolla Heikes, Dayton, O.; 
L. H. Reid, New Paris, O.; C. E. Baker, Richmond, 
Ind.; Lee Barkley, Chicago; F. L. Dukes and W. W. 
McDowell, Winamoc, Ind.; G. G. Williamson, Muncie, 
Ind.; C. O. Le Compte, Eminence, Ky.; Joe Smiley, 
Matthews, Ind.; Horace Gill, Warren, Ind.; H. D. 
Thompson, Gas City, Ind.; Hal Shumac, Muncie, Ind.; 
Robert Bungway, Ocean Park, Cal.; George Bowen and 
Nelson Wise, Carmel, Ind.; Art. Spinney and Art. 
Humiston, Goodland; Art. McDaniels, Converse, Ind.; 
Ed. Faust, Marion, Ind.; Tom Parry, Gus Moeller and 
Fred Beck and Abe Martin. Indianapolis; John Miller, 
Logansport, Ind.; Dr. McKay, N. Nottistine, H. W. 
Tullis, Fred Howard, H. Creviston. Wm. Parker, C. 
Creviston, Tony George, Harry McClelland and Harry 
Sheldon, Marion. 
Others of the Marion boys dropped and shot in part 
of the programme, as the ten events were divided on 
the Jack Rabbit system, and they stood to> win ten cents 
for each target broken. The purses in the other events 
were 35, 30, 20 and 15. 
The scores herewith will show which were the popular 
events, as, for instance, there were twenty-seven men 
faced the snowstorm in the ten events, and only four¬ 
teen in the 20-target race, six of these shooting for targets 
only. 
Shortly after noon of the last day the snow fell so 
fast that the shooters looked like snow men by the time 
they had finished an event, yet there was some good 
shooting done. Squad No. 1 three times during the 
day missed by only one target of going straight. Pop 
Heikes made 88 straight and 108 out of the last 110. The 
surprise of the day was the man who shot under the 
name of Fleming. He made only 150 the first day, and 
then, under the assumed name. 187. 
The Indianapolis boys had more fun than any one, and 
for the most of the time shot well, too. The scores in
