I<INGS RIVER GAZETTE V olwne 9, Issue 9 The official publication of the Kings River Regulators September 2004 SPECIAL EDITION - FORT MILLER 2004 Fort Miller 2004 by Slick Rock Rooster, Mayor Sheriff

The mayor's compliments to the match directors for a great match. Fannie Mostly's Shooting Emporium was my favorite stage. Italians like to shoot around comers.

I feel sorry for those that chose to be elsewhere, for they missed a great shooting match. Duelist Deadly Tedley moved like a cat to take the first overall. El Lazo was the top 49er.

1 I<INGS RIVER GAZETTE V olwne 9, Issue 9 The official publication of the Kings River Regulators September 2004 SPECIAL EDITION - FORT MILLER 2004 Fort Miller 2004 by Slick Rock Rooster, Mayor Sheriff Ramrod and Fannie Mostly designed a great match for the 84 shooters that signed up to participate in a great day of Cowboy Action Shooting. The mayor's compliments to the match directors for a great match. Fannie Mostly's Shooting Emporium was my favorite stage. Italians like to shoot around comers. Mother Nature cooperated with all of the shooters and gave us a beautiful day with light cloud cover and temperature in the low eighties. I feel sorry for those that chose to be elsewhere, for they missed a great shooting match. Duelist Deadly Tedley moved like a cat to take the first overall. El Lazo was the top 49er. Snakebite was the first in Frontier Cartridge. Lash Latigo topped the Modem class. Sudden was the fastest Senior. Misty Meadows was quickest in Ladies Traditional. Penny Pepperbox won the Ladies Modem class. Little Fawn was tops of the Junior Girls and also topped the One on One Junior Shoot Off. Tem'ble Ted was the fastest Elder Statesman. Rogan Steele topped the Traditional class. Rooster JR. was the quickest of the Junior Boys. Congratulations to all of the winners and to everyone who participated - it makes everyone that plays the game a winner. The only losers were those that chose to be somewhere else. Over on the Long Range, Cole Chance of Berry KRRik won the Black Powder Long Range and also the Quigley Shoot Off. The Smokeless Long Range was won by Juanette De' Homier. The side matches drew plenty of attention with Lefty Eastman edging out Snakebite in the Plainsman event. Deadly Tedley was quickest with the Speed Shotgun and also won the Men's One on One Shoot Off over Sudden in twenty seconds. Mudhen Millie edged out Penny Pepperbox in the Ladies One on One. Thank you to our posse leaders Sutter Lawman, Leadfoot, Joaquin Rivers, Snakebite and Ramrod. They did a great job of assisting the shooters. Nobody shot the match clean. I was trying for a clean match, but after my first pistol shot on the first stage it was an unobtainable goal for me. I have had so many favorable comments on Fannie Mostly's Shooting Emporium. I think most everyone liked shooting that stage. Thanks to Snakebite, Ramrod and T 0 Slo for the huge amount of work they put into making and keeping the ore cart functional for the match. And thanks also to Ruth & Ted Polman's son Scott for operating it. - continued on page 2 Ruth & Ted Polman received beautiful plaques handmade by Fargo in appreciation of their many contributions to the Kings River Regulators. Snakebite speaks for all of us in his tribute to these great folks. So Long Pards It seems that the Berry Creek fever has taken two more of the KRRs best. Ted and Ruth showed up at the K double R ready to shoot on March 17, Ruth blazed the match in sec, and Ted had a whooping sec. This was back when Ted could beat Ruth. Amazing times when you consider that it was a FOUR stage match!! Fortunately they came to the ranch and stayed, and have both come a long way with their shooting skills. They have both been a major part of the KRR as members and officers. During our BOOM town days Ted, serving as our Blacksmith, oversaw and did a major portion of what you see today at the KRR. Ruth has always been right there with Ted helping him when he forgot what he was doing. Ruth became editor of the Gazette, providing us with news, rumors, lies and facts of the happenings around the ranch. She kept track of this and that as the club School Marm (secretary). Things will continue here at the KRR, but there will be a deep loss at the monthly matches without their shining faces around the corral. Ted and Ruth Polman, we will miss you, but we wish you well in your new adventure. (P.S. Fannie Oakley says to keep the orange juice cold, you can't never tell when we might meet again.) -Snakebite Kings Rit-tr Ga'{!tle 1

Ma's Musings Well, before all's said and done for this year's annual match, I want to get in a few words of thanks too.

Did anyone thank the Mayor? Thanks. Slick Rock Rooster!

3 Ma's Musings Well, before all's said and done for this year's annual match, I want to get in a few words of thanks too. It's really hard to mention everyone by name, because every member of the club and everyone who attended Fort Miller helped in one way or another! Along with all the other sheriff's duties, did you see that Ramrod made a BIG sign with the KRR logo? I have to admit to not getting a good picture of it yet, but it's a terrific addition to our town! It looks just like this... Thanks Ramrod & Fannie Mostly! We had one devoted vendor who was willing to spend all day Saturday offering his wares Scott Polman operating the ore cart. Did anyone thank the Mayor? Thanks. Slick Rock Rooster! (see far right) ~ Then there's all those fme ladies (near right) who prepared and served that excellent lunch on Saturday- there's not much that's dearer to a shooter's heart than a good meal! Our thanks to Pam Smith, Caroline Cash, Mary Jane Ramos, Linda Crippen, Charlene Welborn, Carol Moll, and Wildcat John's granddaughter Cheyenne for taking the time to feed us. And do you ever think about all the folks who come out month after month for set-up and work parties? Keep in mind that every time you come out to help, your name goes ~ nto a pot for a drawing to win free registration for the Fort 'iller shoot. Tinhom Tuck with this year's lucky winner! Congratulations, and thanks to you and all the others who work behind the scenes. We can't run a great club like this without everyone pitching in. By the way, if you want to contribute to the newsletter, don't hesitate to send in items of interest, jokes (keep 'em clean please Talon Hawke), and news about members we haven't seen in a while. - Ma Steele, Secretary & Editor P.S.
