GOOD SHOOTING
ON RIFLE RANGE
SOME EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD
SCORES MADE BY LOCAL
MARKSMEN.

The Whitefish Rifle club held
its first regular shoot Friday after
noon on it's new rifle range a half
mile west of the city. 1t was open
to every one and any class of rifle.
The range was 200 yards at Ma
tional Rifle Association target. B.
r.. Gibson made the highest average
using a 1903 Savage rifle. E. P.
Christensen, marksman from the
kalispell militia, made the second
highest average with an army Spring
field rifle, but made the greatest
number of points, % out of a posi-
BILE 25, in five shots.
When the shoot was about half
over the storm which had been
threatening broke out in it's fury an
drove all the marksmen to seek
shelter wherever they could. They
had quite an exciting time getting
out OF the woods, lodging the fallins
trees which the storm was blowing
down.
The following is a list Of those
who took part in the shooting, and
the make of gun that was used: J..
ID. Perdue, R. c. Purdy,A. F.Lutter,
Chester Conlin and Pete Gutensohn
used an automatic Remington; B. E.
Gibson, j. w. Poggi and R. X. Gran
tier use Savage;C.H. Brawley and
B. F. Graves used Winchester,and
E. p. Christensen an army SPRING

CROWDED HOUSES
HOME-TALENT PLAY PLEASES A
LARGE AUDIENCE IN
OPERA HOUSE.

THE Honor of a Cowboy" given
last Thursday evening under the
auspices of the Ladies' Altar Socie-
ty, was witnessed by a crowded
aouse, and more would have been
present if it had not been such an
extremely warm evening.
The play was we'll rendered in
spite of all the difficulties that
Mr.. Rieman the director, had in
getting characters, and he is de-
serving Of a great deal Of credit
Tor his diligent work 1t took sew
cnterE characters to sta.,s the play
and it was rather difficult 70 ac;
out pr i erly on account of the .,ta"e
telng too s,oall to st lie prupcr
action.
VIM. Riemann took the leading
part, which was difficult one, as
he had to play two parts. Mrs.
Harry Coulton was the leading lady,
and made typical cowgirl. Miss
Lucille Prescott assumed the role of
a New York society lady, real
crank too, but she couldn't resist
the temptation to fall in love with
Judge Buckley, which part was ta
ken by John Lindhe.
Harry Coulton made a good look
ing sheriff, always quick with the
trigger, but his wild spirit was also
tanned by a feminine creature. the
school ma am, which was played
by Miss Elsie West.
Tom Sawyer, with his natty lit
tie Scotch brogue, which is not put
on at all, played the part of Mis-
souri, Smith and held importan po-
sltions during the greater part of
his life at Coram, Halfmoon and
Vista. Smith and Scar Face the
Indian, which part was taken by
Ray Kraemer, both had about an
equal thirst for whiskey, and they
injected considerable merriment in
to the play at opportune times.
E. P. Ripley, B. S. Young, Harry
Lindsay, John Barry, Fred Bruins,
Fred Van Dyke and H. Penkake
played the parts of cowboys and
acted as assistants to the sheriff.

QUOTED BY G. N. is CAUSE
FOR COMPLAINT.

The city council held an adjourn
ed meeting Friday night to clean
up unfinished business.
Alderman Johns, chairman of the
street and alley committee, reported
that he and other members of the
committee had investigated the
grading of Woodlawn Place at Lake
side, but found that at the present
time it would not warrant the ex-
pense, and recommended instead
that the road at the foot of the
nil, along the right-of-way be put
in shape. He was instructed to con-
fer with aldermen from the First
ward and decide what would serve
the best purpose.
The Riverside Improvement COM
pany put a proposition before the
council to furnish them with city
water in their addition lying to the
south OF the city. They will go to
all the expense for the water pipe,
the laying of the mains and coverin
the same. The mains to be laid
according TO the standard adopted
by the city, and under the supervis-

At seven O'Clock last Thursday

charge, struck and killed an un-
known man between switches at Lup-
fer. The man was walking towards
the approaching train on the ends of
the ties, reading a pamphlet adver-
Using the Flathead valley, and was
apparently so absorbed tnat he did
not notice the oncoming train. When
he did look up the train was nearly
upon him and probably became be-
wlldered, because instead of stepping
off to one side, he jumped into the
center OF the track in time to be
nit by the locomotive and hurled
to his death.
The body was left in charge of
the section foreman at Lupfer, and
Coroner Waggener was notified who
upon arrival took it to Kalispell for
burial.
The dead man is over fifty years
OF age,and poorly dressed, apparent
ly being typical hobo. He had no
money or watch with him, carrying
only a can of salt and a quilt. He
had nothing in his pockets to iden-
tlfy him except couple of note

were several from Eureka, and w.

Alton T. Crossley, one of the
ranchers in the Saltwater country,
was in the city Friday with a road
petition which he was circulating
among the Whitefish people to
show what the people out in that
part of the valley are doing to
get roads to Whitefish, and mod
estly invited those here who could
help the matter along to do what
they could towards it.
The road that Mr.. Crossley is in
terested in is not the road that is
now being built from here to Twin
Bridges, but is another road run
ming from Twin bridges to Tally
lake. From Twin Bridges to Tai
ly lake by the present road is 13
miles. By building the short cut
that is contemplated the distance
will be only four and one-half
miles, which will be a big saving
and warrant the work being done
as soon as possible.
All the settlers along the road
are very Enthusiastic about it and
nave signed up to donate from a
week to two weeks of work on
the road. The forestry department
has also donated $3.50 to build a
bridge across the stream that flows
out of Tally lake. A number of
