CALIFORNIA SHOOTERS WIN.
Defeat the Hawaiians i'm the Military
Rifle Shoot.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1S.-The in
ternational shoot between 100 guards
men of California and a like number
from the Hawaiian National has ended
in a victory for the American team
This pleasant bit of news which has
been anXiously awaited was brought to
port this morning by the steamer Rio
Janeiro. which touched at Honolulu on
her way from China.
The 100 picked men from the Hawaii
an guard went to the butts on Satur-
day, January 9th. The total number
of points scored was 3,S67, or 50 below
that of the local team, which made
total score of 1852 points a week ago
Sunday at Shell Mound Park
The victory of the California team is
certainly a good piece of news for If
the truth must be known the local
marksmen were not any too sanguine.
In their final scoring on Sunday, =
week ago, they were badly Handicapped
by an irregular wind, which part Of the
time blew in their faces and which, no
doubt, interfered materially with their
aim AT any rate their scoring was not
up to their usual average.
The California team was represent
ed at the Hawaiian end of the contest

A FALSE STATEMENT.
Judge Post Not to be Removed by the
AttOrneV=Gener

The News on Sunday published
statement to- the effect that Judge c. N.
Post is tobe removed from his position as
Deputy Attorney General, and that his
place would be taken by Judson c. Bru-
sic. With regard to this statement At
torney-General Fitzgerald yesterday
said TO a reporter of the Record
Union:
The statement in the News last
Sunday is without the slightest founda
ton whatever, and l am entirely unable
TO understand how such report as that
could have originated. Judge Post is a
faithful and efficient officer, and one
toward whom T am personally very
much attached. If he ever leaves this
office while l ann Attorney General it
will be of his own volition.
When Judge Post was appointed to
this Office the appointment was made
upon the recommended ton of many of
the most prominent lawyers and citi-
zens of the city and the county of Sacra-
mento. and in making this appointment
my desire TO give Sacramento represen-
tation in this office cut very prominent
figure. He owes his appointment to
that and to his own fitness for the place,
and to nothing else.
THAT statement, said General Fitz-
gerald, lis enough to take ones breath
away. There is not particle of truth
in it. | entertain the WarmeSt feeling OF
friendship for Judge Post, both person.
ally and in his official capacity, and
have nothing but the highest comrnen-
dation for his official acts while with me.
II was at nv request that he went to
Trinity County to try those murder
cases, and he conducted them admira-
bly,.
His other work while in the office has
been thoroughly done, and he enjoys the
esteem of everyone in the office. l do
not know where anyone could have got
such an idea as this for there was no
thought of making such change
