POOLING WITH A PISTOL.

Barney Juchter, a Teamster, Shoots
Oracle Jago, a Young Girl.
Oracle Jago, 10 years of age, was shot
last night by Barney Juchter, a teamster,
at the camp of Pat Rooney, the contractor,
on Clipper street.
The girl of niece of Rooney and lives
with her parents on Fifteenth street and
Albian avenue. She was in the habit of
visiting the camp and doing odd jobs for
her uncle She went out yesterday and
was in the kitchen between and O'Clock
last night when Juchter, who is employed
by her uncle, stood at the door with a re-
volver in his hand pointed at her. She
told him to s'quit feoling," as the revolver
was loaded, and just then it exploded and
the bullet entered her side.
DR.. Plymne was hastily summoned and
found the girlin critical condition. He
was unable to locate the bullet, but did all
he could for the wounded giyl.
. Policemen E. ]. Thompson and w. ].
Dodge were detailed on the case, and about
IL o'clock last night arrested Juchter on
Bryant avenue, between Sixteenth and
Seventeenth streets. He was taken to the
Seventeenth-street station and booked on
the charge of assault to murder. He said
the shooting was accidental. He found
the revolver in a bureau draw in Rooney s
bedroom, and, not knowing it was
loaded, he thought he would have some
fun with the girl. To his surprise, the re-
volver went off. He said he was an I'M
married man and lived on Petrero avenue.
The police will investigate whether the
shooting was accidental or not. One thing
they consider suspicious is that Juchter
had no right to GO into his employers bed
room, and they doubt the story that he did
not know the revolver was loaded.

''Sitting on a bench under a pear tree, I
saw spider drop down from leaf fully
nine feet from the ground and disappear
in the grass, leaving a slender rope of
web, attached at the upper end to a leaf
and at the lower to a fallen pear. In few
minutes small white caterpillar, barely
an inch long, began to climb this rope. 1t
grasped the thread in its mouth and drew
up its body about sixteenth of an inch at
time, then held tight with the two fore
feet, and, lifting its head, seized the rope a
sixteenth higher, repeating this operation
necessarily, the rest of the body swinging
in the air. Never pausing, without haste
and without rest, this creature patiently
worked its way upward, as man might

Napoleon and the Barber.

Napoleon's smooth face was sure evil
dence of his dislike for beard. In some
anecdotes of the Russian campaign there
is story told of the great Emperor and a
poor but witty barber who had occasion
to shave him.
Napoleon had made rather lengthy de-
tour from the line of march with a deiach-
ment of officers. Arriving at small vii
Iage they refreshed themselves with good
meal and bath. Napoleon wishing to be
shaved, the village barber was called in.
While the poor fellow stropped his razor
and passed it industriously over the great
Emperor's chin, he remained silent and
seemingly melancholy, although perform
ing his work with amazing rapidity and
smoothness. Napoleon complimented him,
remarking: "But, man, why do you wear
such a melancholy face? You should be
happy to have the privilege of shaving an
Emperor"
Il am doubly happy, your Majesty"
"Then what is it that troubles your
ALAS. your Majesty, when think of the
Kings upon Kings and Emperors that have
died without knowing what it was to be
shaved by me, / am sad and melan-
choly. "-Harper's Round Table.

THE NOE TITLE SUIT,
Occupants of San Miguel
Rancho Threatened With
Eviction.
The Part That the California Title
Insurance and Trust Com
pany Plays.

The suit about to be commenced by the
heirs of Jose de Jesus Noe, which involves
the title to the entire San Miguel Rancho
property valued at between $50, 600, 600
and $50, 900, OO0) is only one of large num-
Der of similar actions which have in times
past been sprung 70 annoy the owners of
property in San Francisco. All OF the
original Spanish grants are in the same
condition as this one. In the Noe case, it
is claimed that the courts have misin-
terpreted the Spanish law. Noe, upon the
death of his wife, had only life estate in
the rancho, the fee simple, under the
Spanish law, vesting in his children.
Therefore. the deed by which in 1853 he
conveyed to W. j. Horner was void.
Thus the 1000 owners in the San Miguel
Rancho are threatened with eviction. The
property involved is bounded by line be-
ginning at the junction of Valencia and
Nineteenth streets, along the San Jose
road to the County line, thence to a point
near the Haight-street baseball grounds
and back to the place OF commencement.
1t includes the Almshouse Tract, Spring
Valley property. all of Horner's Addition,
Lakeyiew. the Heyman Tract, Colum bia
Heights, the Fremont Land Association s
Tract, Railroad Homestead, Park Lane
Tract, Clarendon Heights, Market-street
Homestead. San Miguel City, Phoebe &
Robinson Tract, Belle Roche Tract, San
Miguel Homestead Association, and all
the Mission blocks from II to LA inclusive.
This suit and the annoyance to which it
will subject the owners of the property in
question is but another illustr alton of the
value of title assurances. Were all the
owners on the San Miguel Rancho pos
sessed of policies in the California Title
Insurance and Trust Company they could
now laugh at the heirs of Jose de Jesus
Noe and their attorneys, and sleep at night
peacefully in the serene consciousness that
If eventually evicted by the claimants the
corporation would be compelled to pay
them the amount of their insurance. In
other words powerful corporation would
be at their back in this litigation, with
plenty of money and a corps of expert and
able lawyers. AS it is, however, the prop
erty-owners who are not insured in the
California Title Insurance and Trust Com
pany will have to organize, hire their own
lawyers and take all the chances of the
outcome of this suit.
Title insurance not only protects owners
from assaults of this kind but by making
the title secure adds to the value of the
property. The California Title Insurance
and Trust Company is the only corpora
ton in San Francisco which examines real
estate titles and guarantees their perfection.
Its Office is in the Mills building and ex-
Mayor l.. r. Ellert is its manager. 1t has
paid up capital of $3.50, 900 and cash re
serve fund of $25, 900, with which to defend
its policies.
