Issued and uncancelled bond. 1896. $200, 5% bond. Evidently for purchasing land in Bucks County, PA for hunting or shooting (anything). On Dec. 14, 1887, The Commonwealth of PA indicted a member of the Philadelphia Gun Club for cruelty to animals, for participating in a pigeon shooting match on the grounds of the club at Andalusia, Bucks County. Judge Yerkes handed down an opinion, in which he declared the defendant guilty as indicted. I guess this wouldnot be a very popular decision with the NRA. Rare gun related bond.
