OWNS PGRTRIE MEDAL.
Sergt. R. L. Schlick's Remarkable,
Skill Gives Him Trophy
to Keep.
HAS WON 1T THREE TIMES.
It Has Had a Remarkable History-Col.
Graham Is to Retire from
Office

Appleton, Wis, Aug. 22.-[ Special /
The Fortrie medal, which was won by
Color Sergt r. L. Schlick of the First
regiment last week at Camp Douglas, is
the most historic medal connected with
the Wisconsin National guard in many
respects. For sixteen years it has been
shot for and while it has on two different
occasions been won twice by different
competitors, no one has ever been able
to secure it the third time so as to retain
it permanently until Schlick accom-
plished the act last week. he having pre-
viously won it in 1901 and 1903 The
medal is the most valuable of any in the
state, the price placed upon it varyin :
from $500 to SSGG
During the time Gen. Zwietusch was
quarter master general the medal was
stolen and was found in a pawnshop III
Detroit after being lost for several
months. To replace it a duplicate was
made from rough pattern which was
drawn from memory. After the Fortrie
was recovered, the new medal was cut
IN two and the Badger and Wisconsin,
the medals now used for prizes for the
best aggregate scores at 200 and 800
yards and 300 and 900 yards respectively
were made from it.
With the retirement of this historic
medal from competition is expected the
retirement of Col. George Graham from
the office Of inspector of small arms
practice. When Col. Graham leaves the
service on account of old age and fail
ing health he will leave with the regret
of every rifieman in the Wisconsin guard.

GREATLY CHANGED.

for State Rifle Team Make That
Honor Much Harder to Obtain.

Appleton, Wis, Aug. 20.-[ Special. i

from past years. On account of the COM
petitors being obliged to fire at 800 and
1000 yards. fixed distance, and 500 yards
rapid fire, in addition to the usual ranges,
it has necessitated the cutting of the pre-
liminary firing down to one day and Civ
ing three days to competitive firing
There was also decided change in the
firing for expert rifiemen. Heretofore all
those who had qualified to fire for this
class fired at 800 and 1000 yards, which
was added to their highest two scores Of
five shots each, made during the season
either at their home ranges or at camp,

Obliged to lire one score of five shots each
at each range, from 200 yards to 1000
yards, rapid fire at 200, 300 and 800
yards, one skirmish run and estimate dis
tance. The score made yesterday is the
only thing that will count this season to-
wards qualifying for expert.
The rif1emen broke camp yesterday and
departed for their homes. The scores
made have been highly satisfactory.
A circular containing the report of
Maj. Charles G.. Woodward of his in
spectlon Of the National guard during its
recent encampment at Camp Douglas,

department at Madison yesterday. The
report points ont Il number of minor de-
fects and deficiencies in the service, large

remedied, though nothing but praise is
given to the manner in which the essen
tials have been developed The work in

Judge Parker has no faith in the

be improper. The only condition upon
which he will make any speech Will be
the fact that he has something definite to
