and 10383 He used two Winchester
Automatic rifles and cartridges load-
ing the rifles himself This is the
most remarkable performance with a
rifle on record and is likely to stand
for some time to come as aside from
the almost incredible score the physi
cal exertion is something tremendous
Mr Topperweins skill is not con-
fined alone tojrifle work as he also
does some phenomenal shooting with
a pistol and ashotgun
Mrs AdolphvTopperwein is without
doubt the premier lady shot of the
world Although she took up shooting
only about four years ago she has
startled the shooting world and en
tertained many thousands of people
by her great skill with rifle shot-
gun and pistol She is what might
properly be called a natural born
shot as without seeming difficulty
she masters any new form of shoot-
ing quickly and easily Her first
public appearance was at the AVorlds
Fair in St Louis where with a Win

ing targets without a miss The tar-
gets were afcomposition disc 2 14
inches in diameter and were thrown

out of 1000 2l2 inch flying targets
Besides being a wonderful trick and
fancy shot she Is a consistent per-
former at the trap Everywhere she
has appeared t she has made fine
scores and in many instances beaten
professional shots of the opposite sex
Among her scores are 99 out of 100
at an open tournament in Kansas
City 245 out of 250 385 out of 400
434 out of 450485 out of 500 targets

A NEGRO AS HTOR
I G N Railroad Is Putting to Test
Hot Box Cooler Patented By N
E Barnes Colored of Willis
The I G N Railroad company
recognizing the promised merit of an
Invention by N E Barnes a negro
who lives at Willis is putting same to
a test on its trains and the men in
the train service are of the opinion
It will prove an article of merit and
very effective in cooling and keeping
cool journals und boxes on trains run-
ning hot or Inclined to run hot It is
a simple apparatus consisting of a
tank in which is oil and water from
which is a small rubber tube with a
metal tip that Inserts into the box
where waste and oil for the lubricat-
ing of the wheel are stored From
the tank a small stream will flow in-
to the box while the train Is in mo-
tion By the attachment of this sim-
ple apparatus the inventor claims
trains need not be delayed from hot-
boxes hut that the tank can be
brought into requisition as needed by
being suspended over the trucks and
the water and oil flowing in will cool
and keep cool the box
Dames is a big black negro with
a welldeveloped head on his shoul-
ders andhe looks to be a negro
above the average Mn intelligence He
says he railroaded for a long time
but of recent years has put in his
time farming and inventing He has
another patent the railroad people say
is a good thing It is a railroad rail
brace used to keep the rails from
spreading and especially effective on
curves
That the railroad company is going
to the expense to put these patents to
rigid and thorough tests proves that
the men at the head of the operating
and track departments think they are
articles of merit
