Annual October Hunt of Omaha Gun Club—Count for Game and Birds of Prey (1893)

The annual October hunt of the Omaha Gun Club comes off today, and Parmalee's gun store, where the count will be made, is quite apt to present an interesting spectacle tomorrow night. The sides are as follows: Captain W.W. Hoagland, J.J. Read, W.H.S. Hughes, Frank Carmichael, Billy Townsend, B.E.B. Kennedy, Sandy Griswold, Will Krug and C.F. Reed; Captain Frank Fogg, Frank S. Parmalee, W.H. Given, Billy Brewer, F. Gray, Fred Fuller, H.B. Kennedy, Goodley Brucker, Jeff Bedford and George Ketchum. The losing side will defray the expenses of a game banquet to be given next Friday evening at one of the leading hotels yet to be agreed upon.
