WRITTEN FOR SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
As a result of the police practice at the
Armory for the last two months. and of
the final shoot last Thursday in particular,
two facts were made apparent. One is that
the police force of this city contains some
excellent shots. and that the men. as a
whole. are greatly improved by revolver
work. and the other is the sad need of
some uniformity in weapons among the
men.
In last Thursdays shoot. when 143 men
from all the districts In the city shot one
after another, the variety of reyOlvers seen
at the range was a study In itself. While
most of the men had guns OF good quality,
some We're armed with weapons having
two-inch barrels. others with siN-inch bar
rels. some carried SS-caliber weapons, others
IL and A caliber, while the variety of loads
used in the revolyers was as great as the
diversity of weapons.
Some men shot black powder and factory
loaded shells. which made a heavy recoiI
and 4 loud report. Others used light gal
lery loads. which made no smoke at all on
account Of being loaded with smokeless
powder. while the recoiI was practically
absent. And, finally, some shot with plain
open sights. some with gallery sights and
some with practically no sights at all.
Had the shooting been at a longer range
than thirty-four feet, this question Of sights
and loads would have been ~all-important.
But at the above distance. the advantage
given by open gallery sights WAS not so
great as TO place the men shooting with
military sights at any great Disadvantage.
No adjustable or elevatipg sights were used
on any Of the revolvers. although some OF
the men had fine target revolvers with from
six to eight inch barrels.
USED THE REVOLVERS
CARRIED On DUTY.
It was noticeable that most OF the men
who made fine records in general did so
with practical reyOlvers, which they could

Beana and Swordsman were both heavily

last races. Horsemen and bettors are diVid-

trouble with the FiZer horses. Many at
tribute their poor showing TO the fact that
they have had too much of ii. while others
assert that Tommy O'Brien, the stable
jockey, is dissatisfied with his job and is
not riding the horses in the same get
there style that landed them in front so
often at ST. Louis last season.
1t was reported recently that O'Brien had
received a liberal offer 10 ride for W. J.
Arkell of New York next year. Right on
the heels of this report came a rumcr that

He was also the first president of the
Denver & Pacific railroad and was
prominent in other railroad develop
ments. Mr.. Hughes was born in Ken
lucky and educated for the law under
the guidance of his father, who was a
prominent jurist. This pursuit he fol-
lowed with success at periods during
his life until 1893 when he retired. He
began his legal career at st. Joseph,
Mo, and served that state in the Iegis-
lature. Mr. Hughes was distinguished
as soldier, having served through the
Black Hawk war with honor.
His death was due to an attack OF
pneumonia which his enfeebled scQndi-
ton could not stand.

1861. having succeeded. Mr.. William H.
Russell, its former president.
When the line was sold under a mort
gage foreclosure to Ben Holiday early
in 1862 at Atchison, a rganization
was at once affected and Gen. Hughes
became its general counsel. The name
of the enterprise was changed by Hol-
laday to the Overland Stage Line"
Gen. Hughes was continued as the gem
eral counsel for the newly organized
company, and served in this capacity
until the line had been purchased in the
latter sixties by Wells, Fargo and COM
pany This well known express COM
pany retained him, and continued to
! operate the line until a railroad was
built across the plains. Thus Gen.
Hughes held this important position
until the transcontinental railway took
the place of the old Concord stage which
ran so many years between the Mis-
souri, river and Denver, Salt Lake and
California, when he resumed the gen.
eral practice of law at Denver.
He was elected the first president and
general counsel of the Denver & Pacific
railway, the first railway to enter Den
