Old Flint-Lock Rifle Show Attracts City Folks

An elderly man named Beckwith from a Peninsula county visited the city last Thursday and staged a remarkable marksmanship display for about a dozen witnesses. He fired seven times with an old flint lock, hitting at sixty yards and beyond, smashing objects including a potato held at fifty yards and a paper behind a hole bored in a fence. The shooter, aged around fifty with a bright gray eye, declined further trials unless his weapon was cleaned.
