to the finality of the decision of the
supreme court as to the legality of the
agreement between the city and them

Remington Shot Gun
Shells Stand Hard TesI

With shotgun. shells that have been
soaking in pan of water from ten
o clock this morning until three o'clock
this afternoon, Carl j. Schelling, repre-
sentative of the Remington Arms
Cartridge company who is making a
visit to Watt Shipp Company today,
gave demonstration out at the state
penitentiary of the quality of the shells
under this rigid test
This is a unique thing in demonstrate
ing way as it is believed the ordinary
shells under similar conditions will lam
the gun and make shooting impossible.
He showed the officials at the peni-
tertiary that under the most adverse
conditions of weather the shells he had
would Lot jam the gun and would be
ready for any emergency.
Schilling and his wife, who won the
1915 High Amateur Average in shoot
ing, will be present at the state shoot
which will be held here in May. She
is a California woman and has won
many trophies. He has reputation
of being the cleverest manipulation of
the shotgun in the United States and
has been given high recommendation
by Edward c. Gresham special writer
on guns for the Scientific American.
The demonstration at the penitenti
ary was successful in every respect and
was an eye-opener to the officials as to
what could be done with shotgun shells
and vet have them shoot.
