of the missing officer.
Captain Austin, Of the Hilo Rifle
team has had his patience sorely tried
this week, and his ire considerably
raised through the ipdiscretion OF
some unknown party or parties. Sa
turdsy, the end, was set for shooting
sgainst the score made by the Homo
lulu team, and the Hilo team, in all
esrnestpess, determined TO beat the
score and claim honors. Unfortun-
stely, the marker was not reliable
person, and either was bought or
wanted TO see the Hilo boys win"
IS be said. Twos were marked fours
aud threes were marked fives, but be
fore the suspicious of Captain Austin
had been aroused, the tesm had scored
49, points. The target was called in
and the cheat discovered, greatly to
the indignation aud disgust of the
captain and his team. 1t Is more than
likely that the party responsible for
the trick will meet with rough treat
ment from some one.
