1t was pity that after the anxiety felt by
the u. p. agent that somebody would copy
his dispatches, he had to take the GLOBE

that Garfield was nominated. Somebody
told him about o'clock yesterday afternoon
that the GLOBE bulletin showed an account
of the nomination, and heimmediately wrote
home dispatch. This also might come un-

The Saltwater emmissary of the Pioneer
Press received some second hand dispatches
Monday about two hours after they were on
the GLOBE bulletin, and happening to see
them on our boards he got excited and
thought there was perfdy somewhere. Then

ing Pioneer Press dispatches, utterly forget
ing in his excitement that all the people of

Messrs. Jerry Brown, Harry Simmons,
Herman Jassoy and Herb McKusick, the
only surviving members of the sporting club,
assembled at the shooting park Monday af-
ternoon and did some very fine work. The
first shooting was done by Mr.. Brown; he
led off with out of possible 100. Six of
these were broken by falling on the stones.
Mr.. Simmons then loaded up his army mus
ket with navy beans and fired the
contents into space. He then buckled down
to business and broke twenty-one balls IN
succession against the rear of McNulty's
meat house. 1t was now Mr.. Jassoy's turn,
and he proposed that the most economical
and satisfactory method of breaking them
would be to fling the barrel of balls over the
edge of the bluff, but protest was offered,
and Mr.. Jassoy surprised the spectators by
his workmanship. He placed three balls on
a stump in line, and taking blackjack
club broke them all at one shot. MIR. Nc
Kusick then took his turn, and did the best
shooting of all. He emptied his powder
flask in the bottom of the barrel, and broke
the whole lot.
