CAPTAIN BARTLETT
DOES FINE SHOOTING

Captain Bartlett held the interest
OF his crowd OF possibly 90 men yes
terday afternoon on the old north
mill property by sending lead pellets
just about where he wished and
shattering anything from q steel
plate 10 potato or marble.
Captain Bartlett first gave an in
teresting and valuable talk on the
different Aooting materials and then
began the fancy shooting assisted by
Mr. Reid OF Portland, who threw
the targets into the bullets as they
came out OF the gun" First Captain
Bartlett reduced a good Salem brick
into fine dust with 1890 rifle and
then proceeded 10 shatter the tramp's
friend-the tomato can-with both
rifle and shotgun. A can Iilled with
water was thrown In The air by Mr.,
Reid and the shooting expert seat
tered the tin all over the lot with
one shot from the 1880 rifle. A
potato wrapped In red, white and blue
tissue paper was also thrown in the
air and when the 1890 projeotile
struck IL, natural and fine cut con
fetti flew over the crowd mixed with
mashed potato and finely cut string.
This feat was performed 10 show the
extreme power of the ammunition
and the demonstration proved sue
cessful 10 the fuaest extent An in
teresting sample OF the Peters cart
ridges stuffin was also given.
The demonstrator cut an oblong hole
IN the cartridge. peeling the paper
back so mat the powder, shot and
Wadding could be seen and holding
the piece cut in place. he put IL in
the gun and tore a hole In tin can
the same as though the shell had not
been touched. Pieces OF metal no
larger than a half dollar, tiny china
marbles and bits of bark were all hit
square center by the captain and he
surprised the crowd by throwing a
tin can in the air and keeping 1t up
until five shots had been discharged
with a pump gun. Looking glass work
was also given by the shooter, and
Captain Bartlett certainly proved
himself 10 be a gun man.
