"Robt. J. Buchanan intends holding a shooting contest at his place on the 23rd inst. commencing at ten o'clock in the morning. There will be about thirty turkeys to be disposed of, all of which are in excellent condition. This will be a golden opportunity for some of our crack rifle shots to secure a few plump turkeys for a Thanksgiving dinner. Remember the place, a mile directly north of Neewawa. - The Neepawa Register, Wed. Nov 16, 1898
