The town authorities are negotiating
with John n. Cummings for shooting
range on the intervsle on the west shore
OF the river east Of the village. The
three ranges, 200, 500 and COO yards, are
excellent and safe. Little doubt exists
as to the choice Of the location as the
rent Is very reasonable. The military
authorities will, without doubt, approve
OF the range. The old range Is given up
because IL Is not considered safe. The
members Of Co. ID are much pleased
with the prospect Of seeing little prsc-
tice this fall.
