 GUN CLUB?-There is serious talk of the organization of gun club in Phoenix There have been rumors for some time of such a club but hereto fore it has been merely talk. What is probably the most eliminating force is the presence in the city of four chack shots. Each man is represent ing some ammunition house, and is naturally much interested in such af- filiations. The men are Hoyte of the Dupont Powder company, Willet of the Selby company, Hoyt of the Winches- ter Arms and Ammunition company, and Kicker with the U. M. c. company. They are well known trap shooters as well as expert hunters and were much disappointed to find so little apparent interest taken in the sport. However, the hunters of the city have assured the gentlemen that on their next trip through Arizona they will find a gun club organized and will find them ready to entertain them. Some of the crack shots of Phoenix and the visit ors were out for short hunt yester- day afternoon.
