A large crowd gathered at the Stroud
water range yesterday to witness the team
shoot between the Portland Cadets and the
Sheridan Rifles. There seems to be great
interest in target practice largely brought
about by giving the militia boys good
range. Many of the best marksmen in the
city were present and there was much in
dividual shooting besides the team work.
All the shooting both team and individual
was at two hundred yards regulation target

score for the team work was as follows:

that they were outside the city limits

therefore less discreet in WagIng their

Mr. Burdge thought it was the red flag
of anarchy and ordered a charge. The
fig hters retreated in confusion. Their
al fresco lunch prevented their making

Women who vIait Her In JAIN Think
She Is Queer

Women who Walt Her In JAIN Think
She Is Queer"
One of the ladies who visited the
county jail yesterday says that Estella
Osbon, who is confined there charged
with completely IN the murder of Chas.
Handle at HoltOn, IS wavering on the
verge Of insanity.
Other ladies who saw her think she is
putting it on. She is very nervous and
talks in a rapid. rambling way. Her
eyes are described as peculiar When
the women went to the door she received
them almost as though she was in her
OWL parlor, and bowed in a very stacy,
dignified way 1t is to be part of the
evidence in her case that she has been
variety actress. Different people who
have talked with her and then compared
their stories, find there ID a difference.
Although she could clean up her sleep
ing room if she chose, she did not seem
to care TO. She was asked yesterday why
she did not get some turpentine and des-
troy the bed bugs that she complained
of. She replied, "Oh! turpentine smells
so, and so many people come"
To some people she abuses Charles
Handle, the murdered man, and to others
she declares that she had rather the bull
let had pierced her own heart than
"CharlIe's" She claims to have rich
relatives that would 60 on her release

Sometimes she stands and wringing
her hands exclaims, sob, 1 must get out

have to stay here, and yet / must not

trial They want me to die. I must get
out of here If 1 got out I would raise
something. But l must not get out
They would kill me if I did,
1t is evident the woman is either de-
ranged or is trying to make people be-
lieve she is. The Handles have all
along been afraid she would try feigning
insanity
She says further that she did not tell
her father anything about her trouble
with Handle. but that she had made a
confidant Of her mother and that he must
have heard it through her.
The girl is evidently doing all she can
to create sympathy for herself and is
succeeding to an extent with a few
women who take her in good things to
eat and other things to make her com
fOrta bic.
