Shoot at Shell Mound

The crack of the rifle was heard all
day long yesterday at Shell Mound
Park. From early morning until dark
ness obscured the targets the marks

place good record to their credit The
day was an ideal one for target prac-
tice and attracted an unusually large
crowd of marksmen to the range.
The principal event of the day was
the King shooting of the Deutscher
kreiger Verein. About one hundred
members of the company took part in
the event. The target used consisted of

ferent sections, so constructed tnat
when particular spot was struck by
a bullet the section would fall AS
each part represented prize there was
cheering when a lucky marksman. by
well directed shot, brought piece to
the ground. When all but the last
piece was shot away and the remnant
of the target was adjusted for the King
prize, excitement prevailed on the part
of the marksmen and spectators AS
shot after shot was fired and the King
prize was struck several times without
bringing it down the interest became
intense. When Henry Henninger step
ped forward to try his skill he received
encouragem from his comrades to
make his best endeavor. After taking
careful aim his shot rang out and
down came the prize that made him
King Of the Kreigers for the ensuing
year. He was welcomed on all sides
as sovereign of marksmen and tri-
umphantly carried on the shoulders of
his comrades after he had been invest
ed with a wreath of roses and his in
sigma of office.
