She is still confined to her bed and her many friends are becoming alarmed over her condition. Holds Weekly Shoot. The Crown Point Gun club held their weekly shoot at their grounds west of town yesterday and some good scoring was done, the day being ideal for slaughtering the clay birds. John Foss made the highest score of the day's ; ehoot, with 23 birds out of a pos sible 25 break. The following is the list of the other highest scorers: 'Touche, 22; Haberzetyl, 21; Swartz, 20; Gus Wirtz, 15; A. H. Farley, 13; John 'Wheeler, 10; Thomas, 10; Johnson, 9. i-The local club has practically yielded the laurels to the Carsten Gun club, having been defeated by them twice, and while some of the individual shoot ers on each team average about the same in the h.gher scoring, the team work of the Carsten club in general is must superior to that of Crown Point's and the members realize they would have the hardest kind of a time win ning against these odds, consequently no further matches will be arranged between the two clubs unless the Cars ten club is willing to shot a ten-man team. for Northern Indiana will take place ! here Sunday between the Standards of Valparaiso and the Oaklands of Lowell.
