moneys: First and second $22.30; third, $22.20; fourth, 
$22.25; fifth, $22.50; sixth, $22.25. Long run was made 
by W. K. Crosby; including the last 81 of Monday he 
broke 126 straight, which entitles him to a Du Pont 
long run trophy. 
At rather short notice it was decided to hold the 
annual war dance, peace pipe smoke and “dog” feast 
on Wednesday, and the business meeting was postponed 
until the following evening. In the absence of High 
Chief Tohnston (All Aboard) the march was led by ex- 
High Chief T. A. Marshall (Long Talk). Gathering in 
the lobby of the hotel, the braves seated themselves on 
the floor, forming a circle, with Chief Long Talk in 
the center, themselves being surrounded by crowds of 
palefaces anxious to witness the ceremonies. After a 
short talk, telling what the organization was, describing 
it as made up of the best shooters and the best fellows 
in the country, and representing nearly every State in 
the Union, Tom cut loose, and for nearly an hour kept 
his auditors in a roar of laughter. Each and every 
Indian present was introduced to the crowd of pale¬ 
faces in a manner characteristic of Chief Long Talk in 
his happiest moments, when he can certainly command 
a flow of language. Beginning, he stated for the benefit 
of the young ladies present that there were a number 
of possibilities in the wigwams. He introduced Chief 
Ding Dong (J. W. Bell) as “the man who lives at the 
end of the Eads Bridge.” Chief Welcome Joe (J. B. 
Barto) listened to an eulogy of his countrymen and was 
told suddenly to “sit down, Joe”; Chief High Point (R. 
W. Clancy), any girl who grabs Dick will get a prize; 
Chief Grizzly (L. W. Cumberland), the one who handles 
the pencil and tells you how much you have won; Chief 
Bean Eater (O. R. Dickey), one of the few of the East 
who has the nerve to come here and compete with the 
good shooters of the West; Chief Tennessee (D. A. 
Edwards), from the land of flowers and good fellowship; 
Chief Bald Eagle (R. O. Heikes), hunted buffalo with 
bow and arrows, and has a record of 100 straight buf¬ 
faloes; Chief Shoot the Line (Ray Loring), a walking 
encyclopedia of trapshooting lore. If you want to know 
a shooter’s record, ask Ray. Chief White Scalp (L. J. 
Squier), the man who invented the money-back system; 
Chief Happy Day, (H D. Smart), if he’d throw back 
his blanket he’d display a bunch of medals that would 
make him look like an emperor. Chief Sparrow (Charlie 
Young), when I (Marshall) was in knee pants, I often 
paid a dollar to see^ Young shoot individual matches. 
Chief Ye Oak (J. C. Krupp). a “bird” will make a 
flight in hydroplane, and I shall go with him. 
After this ceremony was concluded the tribe pro¬ 
ceeded to the dining hall and enjoyed an elaborate ban¬ 
quet. Then a trip to the dancing pavilion, where the 
members separated, some to trip the light fantastic, and 
others to return to the hotel. 
[The detailed scores of the second and third days had 
not been received when forms closed. They will be 
given next week.] 
THIRD DAY. 
The last day was a little more comfortable, and all 
enjoyed the change. It was partly cloudy most of the 
day, with a strong wind from the northwest, which 
caused trouble with the targets, and cut scores in sev¬ 
eral cases. The program was the same as on the first 
day, and 110 entries were received, 107 starting, and all 
but a couple going the route. The two' specials were 
shot last. The shooting was started promptly at 9 
o’clock, and was finished about 5, everything proceed¬ 
ing smoothly, giving the contestants a chance for a last 
dip in the lake before leaving. The attendance of spec¬ 
tators continued good, the ladies espcially turning out 
in force. B. Lewis and C. D. Coburn tied for high 
amateur average on 146, and the latter won the amateur 
high average cup, as Lewis had been the successful 
contestant on the first day. F. C. Koch was second 
with 144; T. N. Knox. B. S. Donnellv and George Volk, 
143 each. The professionals were headed by W. R. Crosby 
with 148, his two lost birds were in the fourth and 
eighth events. J. R. Graham, second with 146. G. W. 
Maxwell and R. W. Clancy, 145 each. 
Tb e cu ^ buttons in the special events were won by 
J. N. Knox in the first and K. Miller in the second. 
Geo. W. Maxwell finished a long run to-day, making a 
total of'174; of this, 122 were made on the first day, 50 in 
the second, and 2 on the third day. Bart Lewis added a 
bar to his Du Pont long run trophv. with 107. Runs 
were made by J. R. Graham (94), Maxwell (73). The 
cup for the Ind’an, amateur or professional, making 
VF 1 ,. score in entire program, 600 targets, was won by 
W. R. Crosby with 582.

Ibyd. targets, 450, was won bv Bart Lewis with 437. C. 
L>. Coburn was second with 433; F. C. Koch 430; T. N. 
Knox 429 and M. _S. Hootman 425. The cup to pro¬ 
fessional making high score on all 16yd. targets. 450, 
was won by W. R. Crosby with 442. The long run cup 
was won by Bart Lewis with 107. 
1 he business meeting was held in the evening, at 
which eighteen vacancies in the membership were filled 
trcm a list of twentv-four applicants, and the unsuccess¬ 
ful candidates placed on the waiting list. The new 
Indians with their tribal designations are: C. D. Coburn,

Mr. Hootman Points the Way 
to Trap Shooting Economy 
“A man need not eat a whole ox in order to know the taste of 
beef.” By the same token it wasn’t necessary for Winchester Loaded 
Shells and a Winchester Shotgun to win the greatest of all Grand 
American Handicaps, and then make a pretty general clean-up of the 
entire tournament, in order to prove their superiority. That 
was established long ago. However, while such an over¬ 
whelming victory warrants sounding the “ hewgag and 
timbrel” for 
WINCHESTER 
Loaded Shells and Shotguns 
we will pass up the gloat stuff and consider Mr. Hootman’s 
great victory with low-priced Winchester “Repeater” 
Loaded Shells and a low-priced Winchester Repeating 
Shotgun, from the view-point of possible trap shooting 
economy. Mr. Hootman’s performance proved that it is 
not necessary to use high-priced shells in order to win at 
the traps, provided, that the selection is Winchester low- 
priced, high quality shells, such as the “ Repeater.” It also 
proves that it is not necessary to sink a lot of money in a gun to get 
good shooting qualities, when a low-priced Winchester Repeating 
Shotgun will shoot as well as, if not better than, the most costly 
imported guns. Let this seep in, and tie up to the low-priced 
winning Winchester combination; always remembering that 
Winchester are the Guns and Shells 
of Known Reputation and 
Proved Superiority .

ANNUAL MEETING. 
The braves met in the Council Tepee at 7:30, July 10. 
.In the absence of High Chief All Aboard (S. S. John¬ 
ston) and Vice-Chief Quick Paddle (G. E. Painter), ex- 
lligh Chief Long Talk (T. A. Marshall) presided. There 
were twenty-five I ndians present at the meeting. The 
minutes of the 1912 conclave were read and approved. 
Letter from High Chief All Aboard, giving reason for 
absence, and regrets, was read, and it was ordered that 
a telegram of condolence be sent. There was some dis¬ 
cussion on raising the limit of membership, but it was 
finally decided that it should remain at 100. The ques¬ 
tion of rescinding the action taken in 1912 prohibiting 
the professional Indians from participating in the division 
cf purses, was also discussed, and it was decided to 
make no change. The professional themselves, opposed 
the change. Twenty-four applications for membership 
were received, and if was voted that the eighteen names 
receiving the most votes should be admitted; others to 
be placed on the waiting list, and given preference next 
year, if they still desired to join. Chief Buzz Wagon 
(W. I. Spangler) and Chief Ye Oak (Ira C. Krupp) 
were appointed tellers. The names of those elected are 
given elsewhere in this report. 
The report of the Keeper of Wampum, Chief Ding 
Hong (J. W. Bell) was read and accepted. 
Election of officers was the next business in order. 
I bief Long Talk (T. A. Marshall) was nominated for 
High Chief and elected by acclamation.; Chief Buckeye 
(j. R. Tavlcr) was unanimously elected as Vice-Chief. 
\\ hen Chief Ding Dong (J. W. Bell) was nominated as 
Keeper of Wampum, a shout went up, “Ring the bell 
again,” which was considered as a unanimous vote for 
his re-election: Chief Write ’Em Up (D. H. Eaton) was 
re-elected as Scribe. 
High Chief T. A. Marshall suggested that at least 
$200 should be placed in a fund for the annual “dog 
feast” and for the entertainment of the squaws, papooses 
and visiting ladies during the annual conclave. A 
motion to that effect was made and carried. The High 
Chief appointed Chiefs Shoot the Line (Ray Loring), 
Buckeye (J. R. Taylor), and Tennessee (D. A. Edwards) 
a committee to provide suitable names for the new 
braves. 
The Tournament Committee was appointed by the 
High Chief, as follows: J. S. Speer (Chief Black Stick), 
R. O. Heikes (Chief Bald Eagle), Ira C. Krupp (Chief
