Francis Il. Dfnsrnore Elected Treas
urer-Tmportant Business
A meeting OF the St. Johnsbury
Rifle club was held at the Y. M G. A
building, Monday evening. Francis
L. Dinsmore was elected treasurer to
fill a vacancy of that Office. and II
was decided to make application to
Adjutant General Tillotson for the
use of the indoor rofie range in the
Armory when completed.
Further business was left in the
hands of the executive committee
composed of officers of the club as
follows: E. D. Fisher, Phil A

about a month ago. In accordance
with the rules one rifle is allowed to
each five men to be used at any time
by them. Ammunition is furnished
by the government at very low cost
Application for mem bership should
be made to the executive officer, w.
