THE GUN CLUB.

A Successful Second Annual Tournament. The second annual tournament of the Iroquois Gun Club, last Thursday and Friday, was a success, although the attendance from abroad was not so large as might reasonably have been expected. The following were all that were present from outside towns: Townsend, of Knox; Arnold and Sayles, Hobart; Devor and Dunkleberger, North Judson; Krouss and Livingood, Lafayette; Grubb, Skinner and Antoine, Chicago; Park, of Brook; Dobbins and Nichols, of Wolcott; Dr. Britton, (Partington) Indianapolis; F. Ellis, Remington; Leggett, DeMotte; Kid Thomas, Logansport. There were 22 regular events, during the two days. A summary of every event would take a good deal of space, but we give every alternate event, from which can be obtained about as good an idea of how the shooting run, as if all were given. FIRST day.

The Ten County Badge shoot, for the gold badge of the club, was won by Al Livingood, of Lafayette, who broke 48 out of the possible 50 birds. The score: J. King 47, J. Park 47, Livingood 48, Devor 39, Krauss 44, McColly 46, Smoke 37, Dunkleberger 39, Dobbins 38. J. W. King, the former holder of the badge, was in poor health, and would otherwise probably have made a better record.

Sheiman Richards, a name already pretty well known in court annals, now living south of town was arrested Tuesday, charged with criminal assault on one lola Richeson, a young girl under 14 years of age, and his wife’s sister. The examination was set for yesterday afternoon, before Squire Burnham, but continued until next Friday. Samuel Henkle, a bad man of about Remington, terribly pounded Mike Ryan, at Remington Monday, with cast-iron knucks. Henkle was arrested Tuesday, and Prosecutor Doutbit went over, but the constable allowed Henkle to give him the slip and get away.
