Marksmen Crowd the Shell
Mound Ranges in Spite of
Rain and Do Good Work

The attendance at the Shell Mound
rife range yesterday was much larger
than marksmen anticipated. The hard
rains seemed to have no effect on the
ritiemen. The principal event of the
day was the fifth annual king shooting
of the Hannoveraner Verein. The con-
test was held at the eagle target. and
as piece after piece of the wooden bird
was shot. away the excitement among
the members became intense. Every
time a we'll directed shot brought a
wing, claw or other part down the
lucky marksman was greeted with the
cheers of his comrades, as every piece
carried with it coveted prize. When
Fred Helms shot away the left foot the
bird was completely dismembered and
everything was made ready to see to
whom the lucky king shot would fall
1t was finally determined when that
well known shot, John Heitman, after
careful aim, pressed the trigger and
brought down the last remnant of the
eagle. The shouts of his comrades
at once proclaimed him king of the
Hannoverans, and he was led to the
paVilian and crowned with the insignia
of his Office.
George H. Tammeyer did himself
proud in the contest of the Germania
Schuetzen Club. He made 231 rings
in his first ten shots. The record for
his twenty shots totaled 444 rings.
creditable score for any young marks
man.

ran up the high score of 223 and 230
in his two ten-shot strings. leading his
comrades by a long margin.
F. V. Kington, the we'll known pistol
expert, showed he was still in good
form. With the revolver in the Golden
Gate Club competition he put up the
fine scores Of 90. 90 and 60 He was
closely followed by P. A. Becker with
81 to his credit.
