Sergeant Garland Gets Nice Trip to National Rifle Match.

Sergeant Jerry B. Garland, of the local militja company, who was the 16th man in the state rifle competition at Fort Benjamin Harrison in July, was notified this Saturday morning that owing to the inability of one of the other contestants to go to the national match at Camp Perry, he was expected to attend. Accordingly he made’ hurried plans and will go to Chicago this evening, thence to Detroit, Mich., and there catch a government war vessel which goes to Camp Sunday. The national match continues for three weeks, beginning Monday -morning. Garland’s markmanship improvement during the last days at Fort Benjamin Harrison led those in change of the selection to have great confidence in him and the fine trip to Camp Perry is the outcome. He will receive $3 per day during his absence and have all expenses paid.
