from various causes within the fiscal
year. No report is made generally as
to the cause of the deaths.
The Target Practice.
As reported in The Star several
days ago, the official target practice
with service charges, of the big NOR
tar batteries at Fort Ruger, will be-
gin next Tuesday, instead of tomOr-
row. as had been previously stated.
Owing to the non-ariyal of calcium
attachments for the shells, by which
the great proiectiles may be traced
at night, there will be no night prac-
tice, as had been expected.
There will be but fourteen shots
fired on each of the two days Of prac-
tice, and it is probable that the work
will be witnessed by all of the prom
inent army and navy men in the Ter
rtory with much interest. The little
1OX1O-foot target will be towed by the
naval tug Navajo, which will use a
4O0-yard tow line in the work.
