R|FLEMEN ON RANGE
National Guardsmen Shoot in
OrizzIe of Rain.
BIG FIELD IN FIRST EVENT
More Than 200 Contestants Shoot in
Enlisted Mems Match.
GOOD SCORES ARE EXPECTED
Murky Day Said to Be Best for
Workmanship Scores Made
in Today's Events.

Sounds like war in the big hollow back
of Congress Heights. but it isn't. Merely
300 of the crack shots of the National
Guard of the District of Columbia start
ing out today in the big three-day an
nuaI rife and revolver matches.
The rifles started popping at o'clock
this morning. when the enlisted mems
match started with 21S contestants. This
is by far the largest entry in novice
match of this kind ever recorded for the
local brigade.
This is fine shooting weather. 1t is hard
on the civilian who has to take an UNI
brella to the range. but the even light Of
a drizzly day is easy on the eyes of
markSmen, and good scores were pre-
dicted by the old-time rifiemen.
The first shooting was done on what is
called the "skirmish range'-a matter of
2eD yards. The entrants in the enlisted
mems match stood in the pouring rain
and fired twelve shots apiece at the
targets.
AS the bullet would pierce the paper. the
target would sink out of sight behind

and the marker, who is immured in the
ditch somewhere. lifts signal to show
where the leaden pill pierced the mark.
The most welcome signal is the white
disc. which indicates the bull's-eye-a
score of five. red disc means four,
black one. three. black cross. two,
While a waving red flag bears the dis
couraging news that the bullet flew wide
of the twenty-four square feet of target
Red flags were not missing today, but
they were scarce enough to do honor to
the nOViceS of the brigade.
Back of the firing line a scattering of
tents. quartermaster's wagons and cot
tageS gives the range the appearance OF
military headquarters in the field. The
men in field uniforms of khaki have
formidable and scrappy appearance, but,
contrary to the usual glimpses of mill
tary life, there is an indiscriminate chat
ter between men and officers. The best
man today is the best shot, be he cor
poral private. lieutenant or captain.
In addition to the enlisted mems
match the program today includes the
novice match. the company team
match. battalion match, regimental
match and McLennan trophy match.
The novice match attracted much at
tention 1t was open only to enlisted
men of the brigade who have COM
pleted official scores for 1912 except
those who have qualified as sharpshoot-
ers or experts.
Twenty teams had entered In the COM
pany team match. Five men from any
per man. From this match selection is
made of teams for the big Seagirt. n j.,
matches in August and September.
Mai Thomas S. King is the executive
officer in charge of the matches. He is
assisted by Maj. George l.. TAFT. chief

YOUNG BOY IS
BADLY INJURED
Body Of Usage Youth Pierced by
Heavy Stick.

Usage, Oct. 15.-Gilman Horgan,
ID years old, son of Gilbert Horgan
of this city, ran stick one and one
quarter inches in diameter nine
inches into his abdomen yesterday.
The boy was playing with compan-
ion in some woods about a mile from
home. He jumped backward off a
stump and landed on a branch that
was sticking in the ground. The
stick entered his body between his
legs and passed through his intes-
tines and through the outer lining
of his stomach, carrying with 1t
pieces OF cloth from his trousers.
About FIVE inches of the stick broke
off inside the wound, and in this
condition the boy walked nearly a
mile to neighbours house, crawling
through fences and clambering up
steep banks. When he reached the
house he was nearly exhausted. Doc
tors were Immediately called and an
incision was made to remove the
stick.

Buy $50 Fords..

Jewell Record: f. G. Snyder and
HI. Hood returned home Saturday
from Detroit, where they visited the
Ford automobile factories and con-
tracted for their Hamilton and Har-
din county agencies for another
year. Last year Hood & Snyder con-
tracted for 200 cars-for the year
ending Oct. LIST past, and that num-
Der seemed big. But for the COM
ing year this firm is going to under
take to sell $50 Ford autos in their
two counties. They succeeded in
turning the trick they scheduled for
themselves last year and will prob
ably get away with their $50 car
contract all right the coming year.
They generally do manage to do
what they plan to do. $50 autos at
the new price Of $500 means nearly
a quarter million dollars of Fords to
sell in Hardin and Hamilton coun-
ties in twelve months. AS will be
noted by their advertisement else
where, Fords will sell at 500 lower
price the coming year than in the
past. .s

MEAT FAMINE COMING
IS PACKERS Warming
Cattle Production Not Keeping Pace
With Population.

Chicago, Oct. 15.-Farmers must
raise more cattle to avert a meat
famine, said Gustav Bischoff Of st.
Louis, addressing the American Meat
Packers association, which opened
its annual convention here yester-
day. Until they do. the speaker said.
the cost of meat will not be lowered.
"The meat shortage is to con-
tinue," Mr.. Bischoff said,' regardless
of crop conditions until we raise
meat producing animals in proper
ton to our increasing population.
1t is a serious situation for the pack
ers as well as for the welfare Of the
country. We cannot run our plants
probably without sufficient raw ma
terial, which now is costing us more.
than at any time in the last fifty
years.

COLONEL ROOSEVELT SHOT
. AND SLIGHTLY HURT BY AN
..... ANTETH|RD Term RADICAL
but the truth"

but the truth"
1t is believed that Colonel Roose-
velt's injury is not serious. The
colonel felt no pain at the time the
shot was fired and was not aware
that he was shot until he was on
his way to the Auditorium. His
attention was then called to hole
in his overcoat and he found that
his shirt was soaked with blood. He
insisted that he was not hurt badly.
A superficial examination Of the
wound was made when he reached
the Auditorium and three physicians
agreed that he was not in any grave
danger.
The shooting took place in the
street in front of the Hotel Gilpat-
rick. Colonel Roosevelt reached
Milwaukee shortly after O'Clock,
and making his way through the
crowd which had gathered at the
station, entered an automobile and
was driven to the hotel. He took
dinner in private dining room on
the main floor with the members of
the party on his private car.
After dinner Colonel Roosevelt
went to his room on the second floor
of the hotel, and shortly before s
O'Clock he started for the Auditor
ium. His automobile stood in front
of the door and about it was a crowd
of several hundred persons, who
were waiting to catch a glimpse of
the colonel as he started off,
With the colonel We're Phillip
Roosevelt, young cousin, Mr.. Coch-
ems, Mr.. Martin and Captain Girard.
The crowd pressed close about the
colonel and gave a cheer as he ap-
peared. AS the party reached the
automobile. Colonel Roosevelt's
companions stood aside and he step
ped into, the car. Martin entered
directly behind him, and sat on the
further side of the car.
Colonel Roosevelt stood up, wav-
ing his hat in answer to the cheer
of the crowd. The assassin was
standing in the crowd a few feet
from the automobile. He pushed his
way to the side of the car, and rails
ing his gun fired.
Martin caught the flash Of the re-
volver as the shot was fired, and
leaped over the car second after
the bullet sped on it's way.
Colonel Roosevelt barely moved as
the shot was fired. Before the crowd
knew what had happened, Martin,
who is six feet tall and former
football player, had landed squarely
on the assassin's shoulders and had
borne him to the ground. He threw
his right arm about the mans neck
with death-like grip, and with his
left arm seized the hand that held
the revolver. In another second, he
had disarmed him.
Colonel Roosevelt stood calmly
looking on, as though nothing had
happened. Martin picked the man
up as though he were child and
carried him a few feet, which separ-
ated them from the car, almost to
the side of the colonel.
Here he is" said Martin. Look
at him, colonel"
All this happened within few
seconds and Colonel Roosevelt stood
gazing rather curiously at the man
who attempted his life before the
stunned crowd realized what was
taking place.

How can her place be filed when

Why should our tears in sorrow flow
When God recalls his own,
And bids them leave world of woe
For an immortal crown?
Their tolls are past, their work is
done
And they are fully blessed;
