F. o. YOUNG'S EAGLE EYE"
How He Used 1t to Very Good
Advantage
AT THE SHELL MOUND BUTTS.
He Make Score on the Point Target
Never Before Equaled on the
Pacific Coast.

Another day of the mldwlDter annual
shooting festival of the San Francisco
Schuetzen Verein has passed almost with
out event. Were IL not for the shooting OF
F. o. Young and the military shooting,
beautiful as the day was, Shell Mound
would not have heard the hearty cheers
yesterday 1t is accustomed to.
f. o. Young completed 100 shots on the
point target yesterday, making 1876 points
OUT of possible 800. In the hundred shots
but one failed TO pierce the bullseye, and
there were twenty-nine red flags, or three
inch centers. Remarkable shooting this
in fact. it has never before been equaled
at Shell Mound or at any other shooting
ranges on the Pacific coast. Whether it
will be outdone at the present festival is a
matter of grave doubt among the marks
men who are longing to be crowned
king" of the festival.
The one who proves hims the best
marksman on the largest number of tar
gets will be crowned king and receive
the diamond ''king" medal. There seems
to be no doubt at present that +. o. Young
Will carry off that honor.
He now stands high on the point target,
with Is out OF possible Is. and also on
the man target. with So out of possible
100
The military-target smashers were at
the ranges in good force. each one bent
upon sending bullet after bullet through
the bullseye until nothing remained to tell
Ii had ever been there. But there ii
stayed, despite their good resolutions and
well-meant attempts TO disfgure it.
The more the boys tried to shoot that
bullseye out OF existence the more defiant
IL seemed. Still the marker Ould indicate
five" (bullseye), but still not faint ray
OF light glimmered through the center.
A committee was formed to Investigate,
and 10 its ignorance of life behind the
bank some experience was added. The
committee found that as each bullet
pierced the target bit of round paper
leaden pellet was pasted over 1t. thus
keeping up the targets usual appearance.
