FLAGsTAfF's CRACK SHOTS.
They spcnd Two Days Terrorizine
 some Country Turkeys.

Some Country Turkeys. 1 George Coffin and Harry Hoxworth procured forty-six head of healthy turkeys from Frank Llvermore for a turkey shoot, which occurred last Wednesday and Thursday. The tur- keys had been raised and educated in the country and of course were igno- rant of the wicked ways ot the town.
 They were taken out to the ball ground and bound and gagged and placed from sixty to two hundred yards away from the shootist, and compelled to stand there and listen to the roar of cannon and toy guns until they became dispondent and seven of them committed suicide the first day.
 The principals Tn the duel the first day were Mayor J. w. Francis, Wm. Powell and w. C. Dickinson, and the blood of the seven unfortunates may be laid to them as they wasted more shetland shot than any others on the ground. A majority of the turkeys injured the first day would have re- covered if they had keen sent to 8 well regulated hospital.
 Achievements the second day made it livelier for the shootists and deadlier for the turkeys. The sun shown bright and the wind stood still and the turkeys winked one eye while Stanley Sykes, c. s. Denton and Jimmie Smith at the distance of sixty yards and one sixteenth of an inch with pistol in hand, each fired and three turkeys were numbered among the deceased.
 J. D. Raudebaugh with malice afore thought with certain gun loaded with gun powder and leaden bullets, did then and there, fire three shots with intent to kill. and did kill, two turkeys against the interest and har- piness of the owners of said turkeys.
 J. W. Francis who had been in the engagement for two days became en- ragged, and fired five shots with such deadly aim that three turkeys breathed their last. Mir. Fran cis by this time recovered his nerves and did some close shooting, killing and wounding more than score of the most promi- nent and enterprislng turkeys in the flock.
 Harry Hibben a we'll known marks man entered the arena on, the last day q heavy weight, armed with shot gups but he pruysa to be harmisss on this eeeasscn oss account of paving promised to. present ihe senior editor of this paper with A wild fat jucy duck few weeks ago which he failed to do, and luck has been against him ever since.
 A new man appeared upon the scene known in shooting circles as w. H. Carroll, and after firing a few shots he discovered that it was a put up game, or a brace game, put up by Messrs. Coffin & Hoxworth Cor at least they were putting up the tur- keys,) and he withdrew from the con- test all covered with glory.
 One of the most constant and ag- gressive shooter. was Hugh Campbell. who convinced his packers that he was all wool and yard wide when he carried off an infantile chicken built on the dwarfsh plan. An investiga- tiou proved that the chicken didn't come to it's death from personal in- juries received on that occasion, but that it died of fright occasioned by the twelve hours constant caunonad- ing of Mir.
