Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 62, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 13 March 1913 — Shot to Bit and Missed; Shot to Miss and Hit. [ARTICLE]

Shot to Bit and Missed; Shot to Miss and Hit.

Monticello Herald. A. E. Josserand says he did not snap a revolver at his .tenants, as stated in their story to the Delphi Journal seribe, but only ‘let them look into it.” Afterward when they let loose a fusilade of shot in his direction, one of whieh hit him on the hand, he says he did pull the trigger of his 32-caliber revolver at them, and unlike his adversaries, ho does not claim to have aimed to miss. The difference in the markmanship at this tournament, it seems, was that one side aimed to miss and hit, while the other aimeci to hit; and missed. Both parties have reason to he thankful for the distance that lay between them when the shooting actually begun.
