HILO (Hawaii), Feb. 26.-Hilo is
still without q deputy but,
with a new captain of police, in the
person of ex Sheriff Williams at HO-
nOmu, and full force of policemen at
Hilo, the people feel protected n spite
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 indiscretiOn of
some unknown party or parties. Sa-
turday, the 22nd, was set for shooting
against the score made by the Homo
lulu team, and the Hilo team, in all
earnestness, determined to beat the
score and claim honors. Unfortun-
ately, the marker was not reliable
person, and either was bought or
wanted to see the Hilo boys win, ,"
as be said. TwOs were marked fours
and threes were marked fives, but be-
fore the suspiciOns of Captain Austin
had been aroused, the team bad scored
49, points The target was called in
and the cheat discovered, greatly to
the indignation and 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.

ladies of HilO, in concluding the So
