GOOD SCORES
MADE BY MANY
Fine Work by Marksmen
at the Shell Mound
Range.
Revolver and Pistol Shooting
Becoming Very Popular
of Late.
Columbia C ub, Red Mems Schuetzen
Section and Military Records
Across the Bay.

The riflemen who failed to go to the
Shell Mound rife range yesterday missed
fine opportunity for making good scores.
In the forenoon the appearance of a few
clouds in the sky kept many good shots
at home, but those who went across the
bay were amply repaid for their pains, for
the sun came out and atmosphere and
light were all that could be desired
Several of the German sharpshooting
clubs were booked for their regular con-
tests, but deaths in their societies prevent
ed them from attending to their regular
sport However, there was no lack of
noise on the range. The rattle of muskets.
fine rifles and smaller arms was heard all
day.
The mem bers of the Columbia Pistol
and Rife Club held their regular fourth
Sunday shoot. Several new faces were
seen in their midst-enthusiasts who have
recently become members. DR.. J. j..
Giusti has recently turned his attention
to revolver shooting. He used that
weapon while in the militia, but lately
has not had a chance to do much practlc-
ing. He promises to be regular attend
ant at the Colum bias shoots hereafter.
Victor La Mott who is connec'ed with
the State Board of Trade, promises to be a
fine rife shot. Heretofore he has done
excellent work in the field, but the set
triggers and globe and peep sights stag
gered him for while.
Charles Burrell of the Arcata Rife Club
was guest of the Columbia Club, and
was greatly interested in the performances.
He says that the Hum boldt County club
is in fine condition.
The regular events were decidedly inter-
roro
m ade in the several matches. Early in the
day there was q spirited competition for
the honor of being high man for The Bush
nell medal. Every month the man with
the best score has his name inscribed as a
mark of honor on the medal 1he ten best
scores of the year will finally win this val
liable trophy. A. H. Pape led with hold
target, from the last contest. No one
made better score yesterday, though f.
o. Young and DR.. L. o. Rodgers crowded
him well.
The same kind OF contest was on in the
Blandlng pistol n atch, which is governed
by identical conditions. Youug's name
will be put on that medal for tn month.
The club has developed new musket
shot. He is J. b. German who, hereto
fore has paid much attention to pistol
practice, and has now taken to the mus
ket. His first score on the Glindem mann
medal yesterday was forty-eight Creed
moor count, and German Is now looking
around for good military musket. f.
II. Bushnell, H. j. Wicker and Frank
Mason are also among the new aspirants
for military shooting honors
On the 50-yard range there was some
very speedy contests and the revolver
shots are coming to the front in good
shape. This match promises to be de-
cided feature in this years programme.
The records on the 200 and 50-yard
ranges were as follows:
Rifle, 200 yards, re-entry matches, F. a..

Rev. Victor NJ. Ruthven, who says
he was once an ordained Catholic priest,
lectured at Metropolitan Temple to a
large audience yesterday afternoon on
Rome and the Public Schools"
The speaker devoted considerable of his
introduction to a d discussion of Father
Yorke. He cast some reflections on him
and the ladies who have been distributin 6

Coming to the subject of the lecture the
speaker said THE conflict in regard to
the public schools was begun by Jesuit
father, Theodore Metcalf of Boston, in

and called them National fraud"
The speaker quoted number of Catho-

the public schools, saying: "Pope Plus

Rev. William RAIDER Ascribes the

Rev. William RAIDER, the pastor of the
Third Congregational Church OF this City,
denies that there is anything unorthodox
in the views which he has been expressing
in series of Sunday evening lectures on
the Bible. One lecture in particular was
recently criticized by religious organ as
containing sentiments opposed to the
belief of the great BODY OF the Presby-
terian, Baptist and Methodist churches,
and for this reason it was urged that he
should be removed from the '97 commit

The announcement that Rev. Father
Yorke would preach from the theme,
Catholic Literature" caused larger
crowd to asse mble this morning than
capacious st. Francis de Sales Church
could accom- NJ odate.
There was special music and an aug
mented choir. The Chancellor's sermon
was preceded by high mass.
Father Yorke opened by referring to the
Catholic church as a great missionary
organization, and then proceeded to show
how the greatest ally to missionary work
is the press, and how it carried to hun
dreds of thousands of people all manner
of inform alton that they could not pos
sibly obtain by any other means.
"On the Eastern seaboard very poor
opinion exists OF the Western newspa-
pers," said the preacher. This is not the
fault of the publishers, who supply the
public with Just what is in demand. If

that to build another story will be cheaper
than to construct an annex with equally

A Fugitive From Justice Supposed TO

ALAMEDA, CAL. Jan. 24-The police
are in receipt of letter directed to Matteo
Ghigliohe, in which the latter's life is
threatened. While every effort is being
made to discover the writer OF this and
other threatening epistles, the officers of
the law refuse to give out any informa-
tion. They believe that the writer is in
Italy and is a member of the deadly

Malta which has been the cause of so
many assassinatIons in this country. In
this they are backed by the opinion of
Ghiglione and his wife, who live in deadly
fear of their unknown enemy.
The anonymous correspondent has on
several occasions demanded money from
Ghiglione and is believed to be connected
with terrible tragedy committed in San
Franci SEQ several years ago.
Ghiglione formerly had partner in his
vegetable business out on Bay Farm Is
land named Milo Felice, alias Creon
Cream. Milo fell in love with an Italian
beauty of the San Francisco colony and
wooed well. His suit was accepted. but
his prospective father-in-law, August
Capuna, would not countenance the
match Quarrels ensued and bad blood
was in evidence. Finally, on the night OF
May 10, 1894, Milo and Capuna engoged in
game OF cards at 426 Green street, San
Francisco.
Before playing long Capuna accused the
lover OF cheating and row ensued. In
the heat of passion Felice referred to the
old mans daughter, which aroused his
m ost violent anger.
The dispute ended in Felice stabbing
Capuna in the back with stiletto. Felice
made his escape and is supposed to have
| lett the country.
Captain Lees and his men made every
effort to find him, but no trace was ever
had of the fugitive. His relatives claim
that he is in Buenos Ayres, but his part
| ner believes that he returned to his native
country.
Yes. we received threatening letter."

turned it over to the police, who have en-
deavored to keep it quiet. OF course we
are afraid, because we do not know what
may happen. believe Felice is in Italy,
but we are not even safe with him there.
The San Francisco police claim to have
located him, but of course it is mpossibe
to tell whether they have the right man or
not. hope We will not get any more such
letters"

trak, merchant, journalist, footr.cs en-
thusiast and inventor of airshlps, is a
much wanted man in Berkeley. As
stated in a recent issue of THE CALL
Demetrak left Berkeley two weeks ago,
under a cloud of mystery, and has not
been seen in Berkeley since. He sold out
his grocery business at the corner of Shat
tuck and University avenues short time
ago to George Fundus, one of his clerks.
Three days after the transfer the stock
was attach ed by San Francisco creditors,
and a Sheriff's lock was placed on the
door. Fundus claims that the Sheriff has
no right TO attach tie stock, because it be-
longs to him and not to Demetrak, and
because he purchased it in good faith and
was not aware that there were any out
standing debts. Accordingly he has sued
the Sheriff for $4,000 to cover his loss of
stock, hauled away, and alleged damages
sustained.
