GUN CLUB NOT TO CHALLENGE.
Decides to Allow Others to Try for
Trophy Recently Lost.


Members of the Marshailtown Gun
Club, a team from which on Tuesday
lost the Hunting and Fishing trophy
to Eldora, have about decided that
they will not issue a challenge to the
winning team for another match, at
least for some time to come. While the
local trap shooters feel that their team
had no license to lose the cup to Ell
dora, Marshalltown has defended 1t
successfully so long that other teams
had lost hope of winning 1T. hence
there had been a falling off of interest
in trap shooting in the state. In order
to stimulate this interest 1t is deemed
best to stand aside and allow other
towns to compete for the trophy. When
the cup has been passed around awhile
Marshalltown will then go after 1t
and win.

Bushels From Eighteen Acres.
Mr.. W. H. C. woodward, of Mariet-
ia, is one of those Marshall county
farmers who wear a smile that will
not come off. Cummins "got there" and
the crops are immense. Eighteen acres
of barley have just threshed out 900
bushels, machine measure, and the
grain would overrun in weight. The
oats on the Woodward farm went sixty
five bushels to the acre, and the pros
pect for corn was never better. Mr..
Woodward's corn went seventy-fi
bushels last year and it looks even
better this year, in fact the best Mr..
Woodward has ever seen it look at this
time of year.
