Selected to Succeed Him
CLINGS TO OLD OFFICE
Special Dispatch to The Call

REDDING. Cal, April 12-Thomas
y. Dozier, District Attorney of Shasta
county, who was recently appointed
by the Governor to the new Judgeship
OF this county has refused to resign
remunerative position rendered him.
The reason for this decision is that
Charles FL. Braynard, a. Redding attor-
ney against whom Dozier cherishes
feelings of personal animosity. was
round to have the vacant office clinched
as soon as Dozier stepped down and
out.
Dozier had his resignation drawn up
and ready to file with the county clerk
and in fact was preparing to go to
the court house and take the oath Of
office when friend informed him that
Braynard had the pledge Of three out
OF five Of the Supervisors for the ap-
pointment. Rather than see his enemy
obtain the District Attorneyship, Doz-
Ter will refuse the Judgeship and retain
his present office. When these facts be-
came known there was great excite
ment on the streets. as each man has
his clan of followers who are willing
to take up his fight
The political excitement caused by
this turn of affairs caused several fist
nghts among prominent politicians, the
most noteworthy being between James
Holt, wealthy building contractor,
and w. d. Tillotson, an attorney well
known throughout Northern Califor-
MIA, who was former United States
Consul at Yokohama. Holt became so
enraged that 1t required several men to
drag him from the fight and Tillotson
was taken into his Office by friends
and kept there until he had cooled off.

band became wild with jealousy.
Threats were exchanged and both men
armed themselves. Last night Everton

pending since last Friday. / don't

that ii has no connection with my guilt

That Crime Was Prompted
by a Desire for Revenge

found murdered in his room to-day. A
