NOTES OF THE
NATIONAL GUARD
Decision in the Macdonald
Trophy Shoot and
Protest.
There May Be a Postponement
of the Proposed Entertain
ment by the First.
Colonel Wright of the Sixth Will
Probably Resign in the Spring-A
Contest for Headquarters.

Some time ago the companies OF the First
Regiment of Infantry engaged in target prac-
tice at the camp held at Ukiah, for trophy
presented by Colonel Macdonald (retlred).
One OF the conditions o. the contest was
was that in the voliey-frlng each man
should fire upon the word OF command, ana
if anv member OF the firing party failed 10
discharge his piece the company to wnlcn ne
belonged should be penaHzed certain num-
Der OF points The contest was decided In Ia
yor of Company X, Captain Cunningham, but
COMPANY G. Captain Sutliffe, entered pro-
test against the award OF the trophy to Com
pany K. and for ground OF protest set up that
p member OF K Company. after The shoot, had
appeared before Captain Cunningham and
declared that its score of seventy-three mad
been awarded TO il because he had held back
his fire He said that his reason for the &C
ton was that he was not ready at the time OF
the command and ne knew that II be fired after
that the company would be penalized three
points. Had that penalty been visited on
Company K the score would have been a tie
with that OF Company G.
The matter was referred to a board consist
ing OF Major Boxton, Captain de Darlington,
United States army, inspector Of the National
Guard, and Liutenant Heller, Fifty lntantly,
and testimony was heard. The result has
lust been announced. The protest was sus-
tained, but t did not appear that members
OF other companies did not mold back fire, rs o
inspectio. was had on that point and there
being n evi leuce that did not hold back
fire as well as K, 1t decided that the two
companies named shall shoot again, each
company furnishing far practlca Bile the
same men who took part in the contest at
UkIah; that he same shall be conducted un-
dertne supervision OF the inspector OF rifle
practice No substitute shall be allowed in
either company if q man who took part in
the original match is available. Colonel

NOT A Suicide
CLUB MEMBER
]. w. Mcbride Did Not Be-
long to a Self-Destruc-
tion Society.
The Story From the Islands
Ridiouled by His Friends
Here.
Suddenly Became Insane and His
Mania Was to Put an End
to His Life.

The friends here of Walter ]. Mcbride,
the paying teller of Bishop & Co.'s bank
at Homo iulu. do not place any confidence
in the reports brought here by the steamer
Gaelic on Saturday to the effect that the
young man had gone insane because of an
oath said TO have been given to a suicide
club OF the Puget Sound cities A num-
Der of letters were received by people here
from friends OF Mcbride, and in none OF
them was it stated that the cause of the
young mans insanity was due to any
connection with a suicide club. In some
OF the letters it was stated that there was
a rumor in Honolulu to the effect that the
insane man was one of a club of thirteen
who had sworn themselves to death when
their turn came, and that Mcbride had
been chosen to die and that he must end
his life before the year was out. 1t was
said that the tear OF death was what caused
his mind to become deranged.
DIR. Grossman, who lett Honolulu on
November 10 and is now at the Palace, said
yesterday that he knew Mcbride well,
and that the suicide club romance that
was thrown around his unfortunate in
tirmites was all nonsense. THE man was
perfectly we'll when left the islands," he
said, land the letters [ received by the
steamer on Saturday say that Mcbride is
perfectly sane on all other subjects except
that of death. In his insane moments lie
declares that he has to kill himself before
the year is out. The physicians who are
attending him believe that his trouble i s
only of a temporary nature and that he
will be all right in few days. No cre-
dence is given the sucide-cluo theory OF
his insanity Dy his friends ana they even
ridicule the idea of it. He has no reason
to end his life. He is fairly well-to-do,
and he need never suffer for the want of
comforts in this world, and if he does talk
OF suicide it is because OF insanity"

the past record of Kelly and Reardon, be-
lieve they are the robbers. and also that
one of them robbed Patrick Collins, the

char of vagrancy.

in the leg, also failed 20 identify Jack"
O'Brien yesterday. OBrien was taken to

The First Iertment.

1t has not yet been definitely settled when
the entertainment 10 be given by the First
Regiment IN aid of its rife range tund will be
held, nor is il determined what the charac ter
OF the entertainment will be. Ii was at first
proposed that the Ell ertainment should BE-
held in the Pavilion about the middle OF De-
cember but certain matters presented them
selves which moved the committee to reach
the conclusion that that would not be de-
sirable date, and it was decided to hold it in
the same place on the 18Th of January. Now
another obstacle has pre- sented itself in the
shape OF the Go den Jubilee OF the discovery of
gold in California for which preparations viii
be made about that time. Now, there is a
proposition that VIII come mp before the COM
mittee, and that i % hold a three nights en-
tertainment at the regimental armory, at
Page and Cough streets. The suggestion has
been made that there should be one night OF
concert and literary efforts, one night of
military evoluuons and military novelties,
and that On the bird night there should be a
grand promenade concert and ball. This
proposition Will be discussed during the week

night it is occupied by the local Knights
Of Pythias. The president Of one Of the
country sub-alliances came to town on
Tuesday. He had visited the town al
lance and when he saw the lights in
the lodge room, concluded he would go
over and condole with the brethren over
the defeat Of Bryan. He gave the prop
er knock at the outer door. The wicket
was raised and an ear was placed at 1t
to hear the password. II pillow; I hoe;
l spade" whispered the alliance man.
The ear was replaced by an BYE, and ii
in turn gave place to q mouth. which
whispered in reply. 1.-THE hi you do"
