[Researcher]

The article states the automobile is a new 1905 Rambler. The author and his wife took the train to Minneapolis where on August 16 they met up with Charles Webster, his wife and the new 1905 Rambler. They then drove to Winnipeg. Took a train to Lake Manitoba and then a boat trip to a gypsum mine Webster was an investor in. They then returned to Winnipeg and with the Rambler continued down through the Dakotas to the Webster Ranch near Frederick, SD, on 31 August in time for the 1 September opening. No mention of the guns they used. They scored 39 "Chickens" for the four of them on opening day. Stated the previous year they had limited out by 2 pm with 75.

A fitting name for that car. It's hard not to be nostalgic for those days.
