GARDNER WAS EASY FOR DEN.
Young Man Fails to Show the Form
Displayed in the Past.

The pigeon shoot between Irvine Gardner
of this city and Colonel Jim Den OF
Arapahoe on the Omaha Gun club grounds
across the river yesterday afternoon at
tracted n large crowd of the local lovers
of the trap From the way "The Kid" as
Mr. Gardner has been facetiousy dubbed,
has been cracking targets and killing birds
for the past several months the shooters
were led to believe that he would put up
a rafting good game against the old vet
of Wild Horse canyon. But they were
woefully disappointed. The Kid was in ex-
ceedingly bad form and shot like n novice,
the last half of the match being about as
thoroughly botched as n man with n gun
in his hands could possibly make it, He
started off with miss, and this early dis
astcr seemed to rob him of about all the
nerve he had, and at various stages he
Judged, finched and fiunked in a way
that gave Parmelee, Loomis Hughes, Mont
morency and other old timers looking on
the ST. Vitus dance. ON the other
hand. Arapahoe Jim, the man not afraid
to lick dog, had his cinch powders with
him all through the fight, and never but
once was there the slightest danger that
Gardner might beat him, and that was
on the thirty-second bird, when the Kid
overhaucd him on twenty-five killed and
seven missed. The shock was too much for
the youngster, however, and from this on
he was on his toes nearly the whole time.
ON the fiftioth bird, Den had "A lead of
eight which he stretched TO n dozen on
the seventy-hfth, and to nineteen on the
flush, the score standing eighty-four to
siXty-fve. Denis longest run was seven

of the eiShty-four birds scored, Den killed
