COLCHESTER
Indoor Rifle Range at Boys Club
Room-FuneraI of Town Clerk Dam
iel w. White of Hebron.

Recently an indoor rife range has
been completed in the rooms of the
Boys club. The range is a long box
arrangement putu p in three sections
which rest on Sawhorses. This is of
matched boards, which makes it per-
feCtly safe for any use inside. The
targets are made by the boys them
selves before they shoot and are of
paper, which are tackled on to target
frames. The target frames are nova
BILE and can be brought in position for
shooting by turning a crank, which
makes the targets slide on the wires
The entire length of the range is 80
feet. One of the latest models of q
repeating air rifle is used and seems
to be very satisfactory. Already the
boys are shooting. and soon rifle teams
of five men each will be organized.
These teams will shoot 10 shots per
man, both standing and lying down
This range is creating much interest
and will do much good as well as be-
ing an enjoyable sport.
Parents of the boys and anyone in
terested have been invited to visit the
rooms of the club at any time.

I have made $50 farm visits, at the
request Of farmers who wanted to

THE HUNTERS SIDE.
They Have Some Rights, After Pay
ing the State for a License.

After reading LAS" letter to the
editor of The Bulletin in Tuesdays
issue some local sportsmen were in
clined to start n campaign of letter
writing intended to demonstrate to "A"
that they may have some rights in
protected game; otherwise, they say,
why does the state take the money we
pay for hunting licenses to meet the
cost of raising cartridges, quail and
pheasants TO turn loose on AS and
BIS farms? So that A and may
claim this game as exclusively their
own? They emphatically put a foot
down on the proposition that all wild
game on farms should belong to the
men who own or manage farms. Not
so long as we help pay for it, they
declare. a." said one of these OBJ
jectors, is one of the type that would
claim the earth If he could get away
with it, even though Ike knew right
we'll when making the claim that you
had helped pay for it and he hadn't
a nickel invested in the funny old
sphere.
1t was pointed out by another sports
man who was somewhat riled by what
he termed the narrowness of "A's" let
ter that any damaging trespass on any
farmers land is now punishable IN
der the laws of the state. No man
may hunt under the present laws dur
ing the open season, he pointed out,
If the owner of the land objects, and
declared AS suggestions about writ
ten permit-all poppycock
Oh, it's a fine proposition, this hunt
ing wild game wrangle. A correspon-
dent who listens to the controversies
that it stirs up and knows the space
that is demanded in the public prints
by those who want to argue It pro
and con is apt to be somewhat busy.
The deer seemed to be the goats
In any case. The farmers rightfully
object to them on account OF the in
jury they do and the hunters swear
about them because the hunters dogs
will very often insist on following
their trail when they are expected to
pay for their board by following rab-
bits, foxes. coons, or other game
spelling an outing for the hunters, who
have no right to shoot the deer. And
that last is the crux of the whole sit
uation. The deer in this county are
mighty unpopular just at this time and
are getting scarcer, legally and ille-
galiy, II is said, as a result

HIGH SCHOOL INTERESTS
Rejoicing Over GrosVenordaIe Vic
tory - Debate - Girls Basketball
Season to Open Friday.

The way the five from the local
school handled Tourtellote at eros
venordale last Friday makes the
hearts Of the local fans and fannettes
too, and Putnam won, 65-36.
Next Wednesday Putnam will meet
her old overwhelmingly. These two
teams have not met for two years
but both are anxious to get at each
other again. This, too, is a league
game and 1t is fact that both teams
will be on their toes from the first
whistle.
One feature of the basketball league
is the way in which the umpiring is
to be done, instead of as in past sea-
scons when any man the local man
| agement wished acted as umpire
There has been one man appointed
from each school. These umpires do
| not referee games in the town from
which they are appointed but work in
some other schools.
Mr.. Packard and Malcolm Wiley
| were in Norwich Saturday attending
a meeting of the Eastern Connecticut
Baseball league at the Norwich Free
Academy. All of the schools that en-
tered last year are to continue as
members for this coming season and
| killingly is to enter the northern di-
vision. Representatives were pres
emit from Norwich, Stonington,
Webster, Putnam, Westerly, KiIlingly,
| and Windham. Southbridge has also
been invited to join but as yet is un-
decided.
The Debating club held an inform
| al debate Wednesday afternoon on
| the subject: Resolved, that there
| should be no midyear or final examin-
| atoms. The judges were Miss Pierce
Miss Lewis and Miss Bowler. They
decided In favor OF the negative.
The girls basketball season opens
Friday afternoon, when the Putnam
girls play the Willimantic girls in the
| 2. H. s. gymnasium.
A poster (by request of the New
| York, New Haven & Hartford rail-
road) has been put on the High
| school bulletin board. This poster
| tells of the large loss of life because
| of trespassing on railroads, it warned
/ people not to trespass on railroad
| property and to thing Of their lives
i before their convenience.
