GOOD MARKS MADE
ON INDOOR RANGE
Members of Los Angeles Revolver
Club Compete - Macomber and
Holcomb Win Medal Shoot at
Bishop Street Quarters

Some good scores were made at the
new indoor range at 2461a South Hill
street last Wednesday by the members
of the Los Angeles Revolver club.
Most of the marksmen used the %
caliber pistol and some excellent scores
were made considering the lack of ex-
perience of the marksmen on the in
door twenty-yard range. Jim Holcomb
shot five scores with his 20 blunder-
bus, the highest of which was So and
the lowest 81, very even shooting, but
Jim was not at all pleasant with him
self because he could not score above
So and hopes to do better than this
next time.
T. D. Gronow was on hand with his
big AS Colt Frontier, and when he
broke loose with it the roar was
enough to cause all the others to sit
up and take notice.
The marksmen were much pleased
with the new range and the hour of
II came around entirely too soon.
The regular monthly medal contest
for the pistol and Hoegee handicap re-
volver medals took place on the Bishop
street police range yesterday. In the
revolver medal match A. D. Macomber
new member, landed the Hoegee
trophy with total of 302, his handi-
cap of Is points bringing his total far
above the other shooters.
In the pistol contest Happy Jim
Holcomb surprised those present by
landing the trophy. In his second
score Holcomb was shooting very
strongly until he reached his ninth
shot, when he landed a seven, which
gave him the blues. Nevertheless, he
managed to make a 80 out of it.

Many would-be guardians Of the New

According to the report of the COM

eighty-fve of the thousand n more
applicants Were deemed fit, physically
and mentally, for the duties of a police
officer in the largest city of the State,
Many who applied were found to be
past the age limit or too young, while
the physical examination Trimmed the
ranks even more. Every n of the
survivors of the physical examination
passed the mental test triumphantly.
In the latter a percentage of 10 in all

The leading causes for rejection in
the physical tests were given out as
hammer toes, ~yaricese veins and fiat

ALDERMAN WOHLFARTH is

Caucus, on Surface at Least, Is
Harmonious.

Harmony to all outward appearances
prevailed last night at the caucus of
the Regular Republican and New Idea
Aldermen, who will control the Common
Council next year. Alderman Emil
Wohlfarth was elected as leader, and
he will also be chairman of the finance
committee, as Alderman Jerome T.
Congleton absolutely refused to accept
the position.
Alderman Wohlfarth's election was
not made unanimous, as he only re-
ceived twelve of the seventeen votes
that were cast, five blanks being voted.
Aldermen Congleton, I%ngraham and
Shape were nominated for the position,
but they refused to stand. Alderman
Ingraham nominated Mr.. Wohlfarth.
Aldermen Congleton, Ingraham and
Hopping were made a committee on
seating Republicans. Aldermen Pen
nington and Congleton will represent
the Council in the Board of School Es-
innate.
Alderman Horace Grice, of the First
ward, was unable TO attend the caucus
on account of illness.

William Rothe, a brother of Hugo,
clamored for a chance to get in on the
moneymaking, and he came up with an
other $500. Hoos only advanced $3.50, it is
said, but the Rothes invested 5000 al
together. Then, to try it on the dog
they put the act on in Elizabeth. 1t
took like wildfire and a great future
was predicted.
From there Dorcsjak went to Troy,
N. ", but only to come to grief. None
of the big booking houses would accept
the act, and it is charged yer barred
it from all their houses. Into the stor-
age houses went the stage material and
back to Elizabeth came the Rothes and
Dorcsjak. The Rothes refused to put
UP any more money
Dorcsjak was not discouraged. how
ever, and in consideration of his note
for SO, 900, the Rothes, it is said, surren-
dered their rights. Later Hugo Rothe.
it is averred. asked the magician to sign
a tote for $3.50, saying he wished to pay
off some small debts, and the latter, to
oblige him, gave a ninety-day note.
This was the last he heard of it until
Dorcsjak was told that Rothe had sued
on the note in Troy, attached the goods
in the storage house, brought them back
to Elizabeth and placed them in the
cellar of a local theatre.
Among the goods mentioned are:
One velvet canopy. one plate glass box
one brass stand rest. 1870 feet of iron
cable with windlass, n plate glass
coffin with silk cover, one table with
mechanism enclosed, one velvet box.
also with mechanism enclosed and Q,
number of other articles that go to
make up a proper outfit for a real
magician.
Really said Mr.. Wilson, my client
is absolutely the best magician in the
world. He bears to his art the same
position that Caruso bears to his. He

The matter will come up for hearing
in Jersey City on December 20.
