Sergeant Morrow C. Gustin, of B troop, Second cavalry, Fort Walla Walla, has swathed himself and his regiment in glory by winning the department gold medal in the skirmish firing at Vancouver this week. The honor comes to the Second cavalry for the first time in its history. Last year Sergt. Gustin won the division gold medal and division skirmish medal at San Francisco and a gold medal in the national army competition at Leavenworth. It is understood that he now takes a place with the “distinguished marksmen” of the army and will be barred from department and division contest after this year. He is a Lebanon, (O.) boy. – Walla Walla Journal.
