AT SCHUETZEN PARK.
California Club and Verein Fin
 tracht Hold Contests.


 The rifle range at Schuetzen Park, near San Rafael, was almost deserted yesterday except by the marksmen of the California Schuetzen Club and the San Francisco Verein Eintracht, and members of these organizations com pleted their shooting in the monthly contests as rapidly as possible and caught an early train back to the metropolis in order to be at the open ing shoot at Shell Mound Park
 Among the marksmen present, how ever, there was the usual enthusiasm and the scores in the medal contest of the California Schuetzen Club were very good. The light on the target was strong throughout the day.
 In the first champion class of the California SchuetZen Club, John F. Robinson took first prize. Robinson has done some excellent shooting late lv. Last year he captured the States gold medal in the military shooting, and in the first champion class of the California SchuetZen Club he is proving himself to be an expert with the rifle.
 In the second champion class, F. P. Schuster and John Utschig Jr. are keeping well together. Young Utschig is a son of the veteran marksman, John Utschig Sr., and the young man is de- lending the family's name as sharp shooters in an admirable manner.
 The scores of the marksmen of the Verein Eintracht were not as good as usual.
 The opening shoot of the season on the San Rafael range. will take place on the third Sunday in April, and prizes of considerable value will be offered. The targets will be open to all and the various shooting organizations will take part in the festivities. The open ing picnic at Schuetzen Park will be held April 3, and Fred Schuemann, the genial host, says that at least 5000 mer- rymakerS will v1Slt the park to cele- brate the occasion.

 First champion class-First' prize, J. F. Robinson, 430 points.

 An officer returned with Mir. Oglesby, and a thorough search was made for the robbers. As the doors were locked, it was supposed that the burglars had escaped by way of the street, but no trace of any one could be seen. The railways were searched, but nothing could be found, and the officer and the attorney were about to give up the hunt, when they heard a suspicious noise coming from the office of Attor- ney Tom Garrity. The searchers lis- tened in silence and could plainly hear the burglar at work saving open Colo nel Garrity's cash box.
 When the time was considered op- portune an entrance was effected, and to the surprise of all not a burglar could be seen Every corner was searched. and finally the attorney cried ont that he had found him. The otf1- cer assisted MT. Oglesby to effect the capture of the villain, who was under the colonel's lounge.
 After a couple of warnings the burg lar did not show himself, and so the lo1nge was hastily moved Beneath IL was a nervous cat and seven brand new kittens. The burglars were not ar raCfo6
