Rifemen shot necessarily over the SheI!
Mound Park range yesterday, one culp
alone, the San Francisco Schuetzen, nav
ing an attendance OF 10S members. The
special attraction was the annual turkey
shoot of the San Francisco Schuetzen and
the Germania Schuetzen Club. The I'M
initiated frequently cry down turkey
shooting, but as INDUCED in by the local
marksmen it is not a cruel sport In the
country the helpless fowl is fastened in
a box or to a stake and shot at until
killed or blood is drawn. Here high scores
on paper targets count, and the winners
receive orders for the prizes won.
