U. S. Revolver League. 
Philadelphia, March 28. 
In spite of the adverse conditions a big held of marks¬ 
men turned out at the monthly trophy shoot of the 
Farragut Sportsmen’s Association to-day and some rare 
sport was enjoyed. Honors for the afternoon went to 
Hetteroth. He was high in both the DuPont and Stevens 
shoots, and with a score of 47 out of 50 was awarded the 
silver spoon for high gun. Fred Von iNeida failed to 
make good his prediction to shatter all records with his 
new gun.

‘Has one match with opponent whose targets are nor

Dangerous for Violators. 
A demonstration of what might happen should anyone 
become obsessed with the idea that he might kill a deer 
and get away with it in Cambria or Westmoreland 
county was given when Johnstown Camp No. 76, United 
Sportsmen of Pennsylvania, received word that two of 
the deer recently planted in the vicinity of Tub Mill 
run had been killed. 
How the report 'became circulated was determined after 
several deputy game wardens and three members of the 
local camp of United Sportsmen had covered many miles 
of territory in making a thorough investigation of the 
affair and had found the men who started the rumor, 
which was unfounded. 
The searchers were armed with high-power rifles and 
went out prepared for business. If any deer had been 
killed they made up their minds to ascertain who killed 
the animals and to bring the perpetrators to justice. 
The rumor had become spread all through the moun¬ 
tains and farmers everywhere were worked up to a high 
pitch of excitement and were anxious, if any deer had 
been killed, to help bring the culprits to justice. This 
spirit seems to manifest itself everywhere lately, say 
the boys of Camp 76, and they are well pleased that so 
much interest is being shown. At this rate the trans¬ 
gressor who makes up his mind to supply himself with 
fresh venison will have a mighty narrow road to travel 
if he infracts the law in securing it.
