Capt. E. E. Stubbs

1893

GAINESVILLE, Ark., June 21.—There will be a shooting show at Paragould on the Fourth. Capt. E. E. Stubbs, in whose prowess with the rifle we Arkansas folks take great pride, is matched against G. Price, of St. Louis, in a shoot at 100 clay pigeons each. English rules. The stakes are alleged (for advertising purposes) to be $500; although as a matter of fact neither party have put up anything. Stubbs performs some really wonderful feats with the rifle or feats that would have been thought wonderful in ante-Carver days. He and Price have formed a combination and will give exhibitions, following in a humble manner and afar off the example of Carver and Bogardus. Price calls himself the "English champion wing-shot." Is his claim correct?—Gander. [no.]
