FOREST AND STREAM. 
[March 16, 1907. 
K. C. T. S. L. 
The Kansas City Trapshooters’ League held its monthly 
medal and gun shoot, at Blue River Park, Sunday after¬ 
noon, March 3. The balmy air and glorious sunshine 
brought out twenty shooters, and it was evidently 
ladies’ day, for many graced the occasion, and their 
smart gowns and happy faces added much to the charm 
and pleasure of the scene. The scores were not high— 
perhaps the fair sex were largely responsible, as the in¬ 
terest of the shooters was not centered entirely on the 
targets. In the medal shoot Chris. Gottlieb was high 
gun, 43 out of a possible 50; Lou Erhardt scored 38. 
In the gun event, 25 targets, Hairgrove was high with 
22, Bern, Sr., was a close second with 21. The scores:

Missouri River Gun Club. 
The first Sunday in the month the Missouri River Gun 
Club shoots live birds in the forenoon, and gives a

served in the club to members and their friends. The 
first event was a 20-bird club shoot. Kumpf, Jr., was 
high gun with 17; Lyle second, 15. The scores:

A Social Tramp. 
Richmond Gun Club. 
Richmond, Va., March 9. —There were twenty-two con¬ 
testants in the different events, and about 1,700 targets 
were thrown. The shooters are showing much activity, 
considering that it is still early in the season. If tlie 
attendance _ continues to grow so constantly, the man¬ 
agement will install another set of traps to meet the re¬ 
quirements of the added number of shooters. Hunter 
was high gun with 88 out of ICO shot at. The best 
individual score was that of Mr. W. T. Payne, 24 out of 
25. 
Mr. J. A. Anderson gave an interesting exhibition of 
target shooting with a rifle and auto-loading shotgun. 
The club will open its season formally on May 1. Scores:

Fairmont Gun Club. 
Fairmont, W. Va., March 9.—The Fairmont Gun Club 
had for its guest on Saturday Mr. H. H. Stevens, the 
popular trade representative, who was very welcome after 
his long absence from this territory. Old war horse 
George Lilley got started and could not be headed off 
until lie had broken 117 out of 125. This is going some, 
but you never know just what George is going to do. 
After the regular events there was a team race between 
the Democrats and the Republicans, which was won 
easily by the Democrats:

WESTERN TRAP. 
In Other Places. 
Nearly fifty devotees of the rod and gun met last 
Thursday at Eau Clare, Wis., and organized a gun club. 
The business meeting resulted in the election of Alex. 
Dean, President; C. F. Winslow, Vice-President; W. C. 
Johnson, Secretary, and Louis Halvorsen, Treasurer. 
There was much enthusiasm. Several good speeches 
were made, the topic being principally that of the pro¬ 
tection of fish and game. President Dean spoke par¬ 
ticularly of stocking the streams with fish. A petition 
was sent to the Legislature asking for the shooting of 
chickens, quail and grouse, Oct. 1 to Dec. 1. 
Shooters at La Belle, Mo., are anxiously awaiting the 
arrival of the ducks in their northern flight, and the first 
flock that shows up will receive such a warm welcome 
that they will at once start on north. 
The Northern Kentucky Gun Club will hereafter be an 
incorporated body, with a capital stock of $3,000. The 
incorporators are: C. W. Damaron, Barney Forstner, 
C. B. Woodbury and J. P. Gould. 
The best shots in the world are the Kentucky Moun¬ 
taineers. They learn to shoot almost as soon as they 
leave the cradle. 
As was expected, the shoot at Port Byron, Ill., was a 
good ore. There were shooters from many points, and 
they were all pleased with their visit. 
Eight acres have been added to the grounds of the 
Northern Kentucky Gun Club, of Dayton, Ky. The 
members of the Cincinnati, O., Gun Club, are specially 
invited, and shoots will be held Saturday and Sunday of 
each week. 
The Fountain Gun Club, Bellefontaine, O., will hold a 
tournament in the early spring, to which all the amateur 
sportsmen of central Ohio will be invited. 
At the regular meeting of the Fairfield, la., Gun 
Club, the scores were good Mr. Pickett made a very 
good score of 90 per cent. The targets were hard. This 
will no doubt remain a top score for some time. 
There was not the best of weather at the shoot held by 
the Luverne, Minn., Gun Club, and several of the mem¬ 
bers did not attend. But with a warm fire in the club 
house, there was a fairly pleasant time spent by those 
present. E. C. Swartz was high with 65 out of 75; E. 
Shuck was second with 63; S. L. Chapin third with 56. 
Mr. Shuck made me straight score. J. Albert made 42, 
O. P. Huntington 41, B. Green 21, O. A. Paulson 34. 
Chanute, Ivans., Gun Club experienced bad weather at 
their last meeting. There were two distinguished visitors 
present in Dave Elliott and Hood Waters. 
Mrs. A. W. Butler, of Cnanute, Ivans., has been pre¬ 
sented by her husband with one of the finest guns the 
Winchester people ever turned out. It was a birdseye 
maple stock and a gold monogram. This gun will be seen 
during the year in Mrs. Butler’s hands, as she will 
attend many of the Kansas tournaments. The gun was 
pre-ented without much ceremony at a neighbor's home, 
and Mrs. Butler was completely taken by surprise. 
Pop Heikes, F. M. Faurote, J. W. Akard and Turner 
Hubby are a sure-enough quartette of good shooters, and 
good fellows now touring southern Texas. 
There arc now G18 members in the Omaha, Neb., Rod 
and Gun Club. There were 300 members present at the 
annual meeting. The membership fee was raised to $10, 
and the annual dues to $6. 
Blue Mound, Ill., Gun Club held the tenth annual 
tournament last Friday. There was another shoot held 
in the same territory on the same days, and those who 
shot the two days through were limited. Scores, at 400 
targets: W. Keller 332, Cadwallader 325, J. Robbins 299, 
G. Keller 280, Van Gundy 302, Snell 282, Herman 283, 
G. Robbins 275, Rupert 293, Stoner 252. Others shot in 
part only of the programme each day. 
The Coatesville, Neb., Gun Club gave its first tourna¬ 
ment last Thursday and Friday. On Thursday there was 
a team shoot between Coatesfield and Ord. Capt. Hardy 
was present and gave an exhibition of fancy rifle and 
revolver shooting. 
When the shooters of Idaho and Utah meet May 3 and 
4, there will be $500 hung up as the added money. The 
medals hung up have a value of $750. 
Watch the smoke of the Marion, Ind., Gun Club. 
There will be erected on new grounds buildings equal 
to any in Indiana, and good tournaments will be held 
this year. 
The Chanute, Ivans., Gun Club will send a team of 
shooters to compete with the Ottawa, Kans., Club if the 
challenge is accepted. Owing to the club at Chanute 
being rather new, the shoot may not come off. 
The annual shoot of the Bocalella Gun Club, Salt 
Lake City, was held last week. The object of interest 
was the McKenzie challenge cup, which Mr. A. R. Hig- 
son won at Idaho Falls. 
Milwaukee, Wis., being already long on gun clubs, 
will yet add another to its credit. The last one to come 
forth has been organized on the east side of the city. 
So this will be one more for the State tournament. 
The Kankauna, Wis., Gun Club attracted about 200 
people to the grounds on Sunday last to witness the 
shooting at the traps. At 25 targets, A. Hilgenberg 
scored 22, W. Cooper 18, A. Lendlke 22, J. Dretzler 21,
