Caddo Herald, April 12, 1901

Gun Club Shoot

Some time ago a gun club was organized by Caddo people and traps and birds ordered. These arrived this week and Monday several of the members went out to the fair grounds to try their skill. Fifteen shots each were fired. Following is the score:

J.F. Lamb                             12

J. H. Nail                               11

S. J. Homer                            11

Chas. E. McPherren            10

R. T. Lynch                           6

C.A. Hancock                      6

LeRoy Long                         6

Ira L. Smith                          6

H. M. Dunlap                      5

Barlow Roberts                 0

The latter shot only 5 times.

L.C. Leflore is president of the club and S. J. Homer is secretary and treasurer. By a little practice these gentlemen will make first class marksmen. The fairgrounds will be their regular meeting place.
