RIFLES AT SHELL MOUND.
A Large Number of Military Marks
men Before the Targets.

The rain and threatening weather did
hot keep the rifiemen away from the tar
gets at Shell Mound shooting range yes
terday, the military companies especially
turning out in good numbers. The light
was good, but the wind, being variable,
kept many shifting their wind gauges all
day in order to get good results.
| Captain Siebe, the proprietor of the
range, was the recipient of congratulations
from all of his friends, the occasion being
that he had just passed the half-century
mark in his life. Captain Siebe is ap-
parently in his prime, and he handles the
rifle and pistol with skill that is enYied
by many younger marksmen. The CAP
tain is a member of half the shooting
clubs in the City, and for many years he
was an active member in the National
Guard, where he received his military
title. With all the rihemen he is among
the most popular.
A. B. Dorrell, member of the Columbia
Pistol and Rife Club, did considerable ex-
perimental shooting on the new Colum-
ban target, originated by +. 0. Young, on
the 200-yard range. He ran five strings of
ten shots, making 81, 90, SO, So, 70 and 81.
These scores on the new target are figured
from the inch center on the half-inch
rings. Several of the military companies
are contemplating the adoption of the
Columbian target, which gives them not
only their Creedmore records but their
records in points as well.
AS stated, the military marksmen were
IN good attendance and they made the fol-
lowing scores:
