Local Militiamen To Compete For Medal At Parr Range.

Some twepty members of the local militia company will go to the Parr range Friday and spend three days there, camming out in their pup tents cooking their own meals and spending the days in rifle practice. The sharpshooter’s course will be followed and a neat bronze medal has been supplied by the state rifle association for the member making the highest score. Several good shots are being developed and the competition is therefore quite brisk. Scores made earlier in the season do not count and every member has an equal opportunity to wig the prize.
