The Copper Country Evening News

The "Shooting King" Rome, Gus Zimmerman, of New York, the "Shooting Knight," as his friends delight to call him, arrived on the steamship Augusta Victoria the other day, after a most successful tour through Germany, Austria, Switzerland and France. In each of these countries he won many trophies. He never lost a match. Usually Zimmerman brings back a bushel of trophies. This time the great rifleman carried his prizes in a trunk which might hold two bushels. He was much elated by his victory over Switzerland's champion archer. It was the German-American's first try at this game in a match, and while he likes the sport, Zimmerman does not think the bow and arrow will ever be used again as an implement of warfare. A great crowd welcomed the voyager in Hoboken, where a reception was tendered him. Zimmerman's hotel, on Sixth avenue, was decorated with bunting and lanterns in honor of his arrival.
