The Rathdrum tribune. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1903-1963, 1911-10-20


In BIG SHOOT AT BOISE
Rathdrum Men Also Carry of Var
ious Lesser Prizes.
Sergeant Theo. Nicolai, Ser
geant Floyd McNett and Corporal
Archie Melder, rifle team of
Company E, Of Rathdrum,
national guard, won second honors
in the team championship COM
petitive shoot held at Boise last
week, winning the second cash
prize of SIS. Company l of Pay
ette carried off the first prize, SIS.
As published in the Statesman,
the scores of the teams which con-
tested are, in order, as follows:
Company l, 500; Company E, 5o4;
Company G, 498; Company D,
4S9; Company L. 47o; Company
A, AL, and Company M, Alb.
Two companies, c Of Coeur d.
Alene and X of Idaho Falls did
not compete. K was not repre-
sented at the meet and c company
did not have enough men on the
grounds to constitute a team. The
ranges over which the team
championship contest was held
were 200, 800, 500 and 500 yards.
The following from the States
man gives an account of the indiv.
idual competition:
By fine exhibition of nervy,
skillful craftsmanship, Sergeant
Floyd McNett of E company of
Rathdrum, on October ii, won the
individual match at the big com
petitive shoot at the Boise bar
racks. BY this excellent victory,
McNett wins the governors medal,
a beautiful emblem of gold and
gilt, and the enviable honor of
being the best rifleman in all the
Idaho national guard.
McNett's supremacy, though
clearly defined at the finish, was
by no means easily earned. He
was crowded all through the
matches and over the different
four ranges, never having a surety
OF cinching first place until the
last few shots were fired. The
individual firing was done over the
2oo-yard range, at rapid fire, the
GOO and yard ranges and the
skirmish run. Perfection over all
these meant possible $50 points.
McNett's score was 35o.
Sergeant Wenzell Of D company
of Twin Falls, was a close second
with count Of 354, and Sergeant
Melcher of l company of Payette,
was contender for high honors
with the creditable score Of 353.
Prize winners in the various in
dividual events which in the aggre.
gate constituted the course from
which McNett's victory was de.
termined, were as follows: At 1000
yards, Sergeant Wenzell and
Private Thompson tied with a.
out OF possible SO, Wenzell win
ming according to the compilation
of complete score as employed ir
such matches. At 500 yards
Sergeant Anderson and Sergeant
Melcher tied with 48, Anderson
winning finally. At 600 yards
Sergeant Wenzell won first with
4o and Sergeant Nicolai secone
with AZ. At 500 yards, Corpora
Melder made 4o, and Corpora

CERTAIN RESULTS.
Many a Franklin Citizen
Knows How Sure They Are.


Nothing uncertain about the work
of Doan's Kidney Pills in Franklin.
There is plenty of positive proof of
this in the testimony Of citizens. Such
evidence should convince the most
skeptical doubter. Read the follow
ing statement:
Mrs f. M. Boone, Willow ST.,
Franklin, La, says: 'When | first
arose in the morning, sharp twings
darted through my loins and often
after STOPPING. could hardly
straighten. | at length saw Doan's
Kidneys Pills highly recommended
and procuring box at S. j. Gates q
Co.'S Drug Store | began their use.
They relieved me from the first and |
can truthfully say that l never tried
another remedy that gave better re-
suits. ! also gave Doan's Kidney
Pills to my daughter who complained
of headaches and dizzy spells, which
were often so intense that she could
hardly walk. She also suffered from
pains across her kidneys. Since US
ling Doan's Kidney Pills, she has not
had the least distress and her back
has been much stronger. | most en-
phatically recommend DOan's Kidney
Pills to other kidney sufferers.
