Report of Rifle Practice-Mayor knigh,
Considers New Armory.

A large Attendance was present at
the drill Of Go. A.. last evening, and
the work was carried on with success.
Efforts in the officers quarters were
concentrated upon the report Of rifle
practice, for the season Of 1905. and
the report was completed. More in
terest in work on the range has been
taken this year than ever before. and
the scores present statistics that are
extremely creditablc to the company.
Capt. MCKenna takes u deep personal
interest in rifle practice. and he has
been ably assisted by Lieut.. Livermore
as inspector of rifle practice. and by
Corp. Stuart as assistant inspector.
70 Corp. Stuart goes the first honorS
in craftsmanship. In fact. his entire
service in the company has been ex-
traordinary. He enlisted last May, and
had been in the company but few
weeks before the great interest he took
in military affairs. and the ability
which he displayed, brought his efforts
under the attention of the officers and
he was at once promoted from private
to corporal. AS soon as the season for
rifle practice opened. he showed con-
siderable skill in shooting. 1t soon be-
came known that he was not only d
good marksman but was thoroughly
familiar with the mechanism of rifles
Of oil kinds. In fact he is an expert
machnist and gunsmith. Capt. Nc
kenna was not long in discovering
that Corp Stuart was valuable man,
and lost no time in appointing Stuart
assistant inspector of rifle practice.
Corp. Stuart's best score was made on
Labor day. when in down pour of
rain he scored nine consecutive bulls
eyes on the 500-yard range.
Corp. Stuart is considered a likely
candidate for the Sea Girt National
team. next year. He would have made
the team. this year. if his military SER
vice had been of longer duration.
Lieut.. HodgdOn has also devoted
much time to company affairs and his
efforts have aided materially in pro-
noting successful conditions.
Capt. Mckenna has shown his inter-
est IN company affairs in general. and
in shooting especially. by giving time
to military affairs to the detriment of
business. and by paying from his own
pocket money for improvements on the.
range. r'1't "ri'.1 -'iI t--.t

Westbrook, Me. Nov. Frank D.
Robinson will doubtless keep ont of field
and woods conc erning the ownership of
which he is uncertain in future. Yes
terday he started out in his automobile
for days cunning taking with him
his gun and dog.
He went to West Gorham and lcav-
irg his machine in the road started for
the woods. Soon he heard the report of
q gun and the bullet came rather too
near for safety. Thinking he was being
mistaken for game he quickly oeat u
retreat, but another bullet followed
this time quite near his dog and a third
one was apparently aimed ut him. AS
he started for cover he saw a puff of
smoke and on arriving at the place he
was surprised to find u man with d
rifle.
Asking him if he had fired at him.
Mr.. Robinson received the answer that
no one could shoot on his land and that
he had better get out. Mr. Robinson
told him he had no thought Of trespass
as he saw no signs. This had no effect
on the irate farmer ana Mr.. Robinson
thought "discretion the better part of
valor" and left.
