That was the first rain sufficient to wet
anything for three weeks, and the pros

Gun Club Shoot.

The Rural Rusty Rustic Gun Club held
shoot at the farm of o. W. Parsons on
the afternoon of July 4th, and fittingly
celebrated the day by burning a large
amount of gun powder, and incidentally
breaking few clay pigeons. c. Z. Brett
was high gun with the remarkable score
of 10 broken out Of 40 birds thrown. q.
T. Briggs and E. E. Shaw were tied for
second place, with the large total OF IA
broken out OF 40. The others were go
modest that they positively refused to
have their score published. To tell the
truth it was way down cellar.
Those participating in the shoot were
C. K. Brett, q. T. Briggs, E. E. Shaw, Q.
r. SWEET, o. w. Parsons, A. Lapham, j.
T. Parsons. They will probably hold an
elimination shoot in the near future, to
select candidates to shoot for the state
championship.

Norw.v's Fats are the Fattest.

Base ball is hot weather game, to be
sure, but wouldn't you think that q
bunch of men who had attained years oil
supposed discretion and weight Of 100
pounds or more, and were all out OF
training, would know better than to &c,
out and play eight innings such an after
noon as Saturday, with the thermometer
in the nineties?
Well, they didn't-none of them ex
cept DR.. Bartlett and Lew Gilbert, who
had engagements elsewhere, and retired
early in the game, while their record wal
clean. Gilbert actually had score t
his credit, too.
This ball game was playe cd at the higt
school grounds, Saturday afternoon, be
tween the fat men, South Paris vs.
Norway. The Paris team, with one Of
two substitutions, lined up as follows:
Alton C. Wheeler, p.
Roy Z. Cole, c.
Geo. G. Fernald, ID.
Sanford n. Brown, %.
Z. +. Shaw, Sb.
Walter Abbott, IS.
Flemming j. Tamm, !. I.
Chester Record, C. I.
H. c. Knight, c. w. Bowler, r.f.
The Norway team was probably
heavier than Paris, and was made up al
follows:
U. C. Gammon,p.
Onie Mills, c.
Nv. Waite, ID.
H. +. Andrews, 90.
Giles Frost, 3b.
Fred Hartman. ss.
II. L. Bartlett, T. 4. DeCoster, l. 4.
L. l. Gilbert, Henry Van Coutte, c..
j. Z. Harper, RI.
About four or five innings were pretty
good sport, not as an exhibition Of bal
playing, for there wasn't such a great
deal of the real thing, but as a fat mems
game. After while the novelty wore
off, and the rest of the game had more
the appearance of serious business.
Wheeler's arm held out to pitch the
eight innings for Paris, though his con-
troll would hardly put him into a big
league team, and Norway found him
some. In fact, the Norway team was q
little the trappier, If that term can be
applied to two hundred- Founders.
After five innings Norway had such
lead that they ventured to change bat
teries, putting in Waite and Hartman
This proved a bad move, for in two
innings Paris ran in six scores and tied
the count. So the old Norway battery
went back, and held Paris to one score
in the eighth, while the Norwegianf
piled up seven, and carried off the honora
20 to IA.
Individually bonors are easy. There
were only two or three men on each side
that played real ball, but occasionally
some one made an unexpectedly good
stroke. For his avoirdupois, John Har-
per was about the liveliest, whether
getting around the base lines or chasing
flies in the potato field.

Where was George Carlson Friday
night?
Why did he not appear at the
meeting of progressives held at the
Sterling theater at which Philip b.
Stewart, Merle d. Vincent and At
torney General B. B. Griffith spoke?
Carlson was touted as one of the
principal speakers. He was county
committeeman of Larimer for the
progressives, has told the voters OF
Weld county that he was prosres-
sive, but yesterday he went down
the line for Taft at the judicial con-
vention held in Fort Collins. He
promised the convention that he
would stick by the stand pat ticket.
AS a consequence the people are
asking where is Carlson ATT
Last night at the theater the Yarl-
Gus speakers referred eulogistlcalIy
to Mr.. Carlson. He was mentioned
as being one of them in the hsht
against the machine and the vicious
interests that had dominated the re
publican party.
Meanwhile Carlson was recon-
mended for office by the stand pat
county assembly OF Weld and the
stand pat judicial assembly lie

submitted to these favors at the
hands of the republican machine
and must have known that his nomi-
nation was sop for the progressive
voters and designed to make them
vote for the rest of the republican
ticket.
Last night Stewart arraigned the
machine. He quoted from the edi-
torial in yesterdays Denver Repub-
Lean which said Good men nomi-
mated by a machine make bad candi-
dates'' The crowd cheered this,
and did not know at the time that
Carlson had been nominated by the
machine and accepted the nomina-
ion for district attorney from the
very people who are being fought
TO the last ditch by the progress
sives, headed by Stewart and Vim
cent.
Stewart is making the most OF
the charge made against him by the
stand patters in effect that he is
politcial maverick.
"A maverick bears no brand is
his retort. The Stewart followers
are organizing Maverick clubs
throughout the state and there is
talk of such an organization In
