At 10 O'Clock yesterday morning the dele
gates of the different rifle clubs of the West
Wisconsin and Minnesota union met at the
Armory hall on Jackson street. Hon. Albert
Scheffer presided, and Mr.. Otto Miller acted
as secretary.
After closing up the routine business, q
motion was put and unanimously carried to
exclude the Alma and Fountain City clubs
for neglect of duty and non-payment of as
sessments. Then motion was put to dis
solve the union, and after due deliberation it
was carried unanimously. The La Crosse,
ST. Paul and Winona clubs will join at
once the North Mississippi union, and the
other members of the defunct society will
certainly follow their example. Thus
ended the life of the West Wisconsin
and Minnesota Rifle Club union,
and it only exists on the recoTds of local his
tory and in the memory of those who proved
themselves as marksmen of rare ability, who
showed themselves good shots in many
target battle that took place between the
societies of the defuNct union and those of
the west, north, east and south. 1t still lives
in the hearts of all the former members, who
with affection were attached to it as the
mother of rifle club craftsmanship in the
northwest.

of the different societies and about 1000
guests gathered in the beautiful Schuetzen
