Jim No Sharpshooter in Police Cover Decoy Ducks
An odd tale unfolds in a shooting gallery incident where Jim and a few comrades tested marksmanship amid decoys of clay pigeons and ducks. The proprietor’s testing shot crashes a chandelier as Jim exits with a backdoor escape, leading to a brief police court arbitration and damages settled. Nearby, Sam McFarland sells oysters and Delia, married, jokes about weddings as riverfront boat owners protest a pair’s singing, resulting in additional charges for destroying government property and a brief station-house scene.
