tain Of the San Antonio Gun club
construed that part OF the official
program, to the effect that the Lone
Star brewery prize would be added

3. This is to certify that from the
beginning OF the shoot, Mr.. Simon
Veith had charge Of score sheets,
receiving entries and otherwise per-
forming such other duties as would
convince and one that he was act
ing for the management of the
shoot and that he was considered
as the agent of the club, both by
the visiting and local shooters.

Mr.. Veith announce to the shoot
ers that the 800 donated by the
Lone Star brewery would be added
to the entries.
5. This Is to certify that the Lone

field and others gave the soliciting
committee moneys to be used as
purses and prizes during the 14th
annual tournament In May, 1891.
I hereby solemnly and sincerely
swear that the promises contained
in paragraph l of this affidavit
were ruthlessly violated.
1 hereby solemnly and sincerely
swear that the "Lone Star brew
cry" prize of 500 was not given
out according to the construction
Of program given by the captain
OF the San Antonio Gun club; that
this match was not carried out as
promised by the agent of the.club
on the grounds, and that the 500

the entries as promised by that in.
dividual.
l hereby solemnly and sincerely
swear that the funds as mentioned
in paragraph six CO. were not given
out as agreed upon by the donors.
l further swear that the $50 given
by Jno. Legler was to have been
shot for as special prize, and that
sit was not shot for at ALL" and
that Mr.. Legler made fruitless
efforts TO find out what had become
OF his money.
Now, Mr.. Editor, 1 will leave my
case in the hands of the public. 1
have established beyond question.
l. That promises were printed
and violated.
2. That as the rates of cents
each for targets and levy Of 5 per
cent. for expenses, the San Antonio
Gun club had ample chance to save
itself from loss without resortipg
to take funds that were secured
and intended for prizes.
3. That Mr.. Legler lost his $50.
So did Albert Stoves and John
Stevens.
And Mickeljohn ct. al.
4. That full and complete con.
struction Of the programme was

this club, i.e., that they did not
carry out the promises of money
prizes made in 1891, and that will
be only too glad to submit said
proofs and to argue the point be.
fore any committee selected by
anybody. Presumably the San
Antonio Business Mems club
would like to hear from me.
If so, 1 stand ready at
any time to answer any and all
questions.
l have changed my mind about
the suggestion made last Sunday,
wherein / urge that some banks
endorsement to the added money
fund in the coming shoot would
give the shooters little more con-
fidence in the management.
/ think six or eleven banks would
be better. o. G. GUEssAZ.
