stantiate our claims, that we have the
champion shots of the State on standing
game. They are Mr.. Charles Miller, Mr..
e. z. Yeasie, Mr. Eben Miller and we
think that Mr.. Charles Sawyer can be
included in the same list 1t was last
Monday afternoon just about the time of
day that the cows become sleepy that
Charles Miller and his brother Eben
came into Yeasie & Tobey's and inform
ed Veasie that there was large flock of
wild geese in the field back of Charles
barn and that if he would take what
artillery he had in the store and go out
the whole party would live on wild
goose all the rest of the year. So the
artillery was gathered up and put into
a wagon and away they went; when
they arrived on the spot the geese were
there according to program and they all
came to attention and fired and its big
story to tell that at about thirty yards
they managed to shoot so accurate as
not to touch a feather on any one of
those geese, but its so nevertheless.
Now bring on your gunners who can
beat that.
