Considering the excellent care they re-
ce:ve one would naturally imagine that
the horses OF the fire department would
be even more healthy and less liable to
attacks of sickness than the majority OF
their kind, and yet the Gossiper is In.
formed by gentleman well up in such
matters that fire department horses are
much more liable To attacks OF diseases
than those employed in other kinds OF
work. The fire horses do great deal of
standing, which OF itself II not conducive
10 the best physical condition, nor can
this be prevented when the requirements
OF the service are considered. Another
and more serious cause OF trouble is that
an alarm is likely to come In just as the
horses have finished a hearty meal and
they are thus compelled to make a hard
run when exercise except OF the gentlest
kind, Is injurious. However, with all
the drawbacks the fire horses in this city
at least appear TO stand the work very
well and to render pretty long term Of
service.

II has been an accepted notion from
time ,mmemorial that the ant is exceed
ingIy industrious ana provident, bu: re-
searches in its habits appear TO shattor
that long cherished delusion. Among the
recent discoveries Is the fact, or rather
alleged TACT, for 1t is still dispdt I'd by
some observers, that for thousands OF years
mankind has been at fault with regard to
the haoits OF this industrious little
creature, and that II does not store up
food for the winter, but passes the cold
season IN a state of torpor. The ant as
model OF industry must, therefore, bc
relegated to the rear and the bee brought

provision made for the future by the

A SNUG HOMESTEAD.
A Pertinacious Creditor Who Devises a
Scheme to Liquidate the Debt.

Ordinarily when a man has nothing
but homestead, and that in his wife's
name, he can view the action of his cred
itors in getting judgment with perfect
equanimity. The old adage says: 1T is
hard to get blood out of stone," and if
a man hasn't got anything, it is perfectly
certain his creditors cannot get any
thing.
But some creditors are pertinacious,
and case is now in court that Illus
trates this point. On April IA, 1885, j. T.
Lawrence got judgment in the Justices
court of San Jose township against Jas
T. Taylor for $216.55. On December 5
an execution issued against sixty-two
acres of ground owned by the Taylors on
San Antonio avenue. 1t then developed
that in May. 1895, Mrs. Ethel M. Taylor
had declared a homestead on the prop
erty, and now the plaintiff, who is cry
ing for his money, declares the land is
really worth $4,000, although homestead
ed at half that amount. He asks the
court to have the property appraised
and 80 much of the land, with the resi-
dence, as may be worth the amount
declared set apart as homestead, and
the remainedr sold to satisfy his claims.

A LARGE ESTATE.

the Late Liewellyn Bixby.

An application was fled in the probate

bate of the will of the late Llewellyn Blk

ecutors under the will. The property
included in the estate for which probate
Is asked Is most varied and valuable,
some of the more important items being
as follows: An undivided half interest
in the homestead, with furnishings,
5000; half Interest in all property, real
and personal, in the partnership existing
between deceased and DIR. Thomas Flint,
San Juan, San Benito county. There are

shares in the Santa Barbara and Santa
Ynez Toll Road company, $4,000.
The value Of the entire partnership of
Flint, Bixby & Co. is set at SIT, ,263, but
a dissolution and winding up Of the firms
affairs would be necessary to tell exactly
how affairs stood. Probate Is applied for
on 1864, 1871 50.
The will Of the deceased was drawn on
December %, 1889, and a codicil added on
August 90, 1890. The devisees under this
will are Sarah H. Bixby, Annie L. Bixby,

the mines, and out Of their proceeds. af-
ter paying expense. to pay the creditors
of tie plaintitt In proportion to their re-
spective claims. 1t was also provided
that, IT, sitter q fair trial and bona fide
effort. it. should become impracticable
to operate the property, except as loss,
the Defendants might so declare, and
make u peremptory sale at public auc-
ton, and apply the proceeds in q GER
tain manner specified.
The defendants entered into possession
and after developing the property for
more than three months, on April 22,
1886, declared it was impracticable to
operate it according to the terms of the
trust, except at loss, and thereupon
advertised 1t for sale. The plaintiff
thereupon commenced action In the su-
perior court, alleging that inefficiency
and mismanagement In operating the
property; that the sale contemplated
would be in violation OF the trust. and
that its announcement had itself tended
to injure the property, and that by rea-
son of this misconduct the plaintiff had
been damaged in the sum Of $3.50, 900.
Judgment was prayed that the defend
ants be enjoined from selling the prop
erty, that they be removed from the
trust and new trustees appointed to
operate the trust. OF the defendants.
four reside in Los Angeles and two in
San Francisco, and they moved the
court that the place Of trial be changed
TO Los Angeles. The court denied their
motion. and from the order the appeal
was taken.
The supreme court holds that the case
does not fall within the action named in
the Code Of Civil Procedure, wherein it
IL made obligatory that they be tried
in the county in which the subject of the
action Is situated ''The present ac-
tion," says the court, ''is emiiUntly
personal actien, In which the Judgment
sought is purely one in personam.'
An action to remove a defendant from
his position as trustee Is as personal,
and one in which he has the right to
have the cause tried in the county of his
residence, as is any other personal ac-
tion. The injunction against the
threatened sale by the defendants and
the prayer for an accounting are but in
cidental to this relief. and are depend
ent thereon. The plaintiff does not al
lege that the defendants have caused
any hysicai injury to the mining ground
itself. but the damage for which it seeks
a recovery are for the depreciation in
the market value or the property con-
sequent upon the misconduct of the de-
PENDANTS, and the loss resulting from
their neglect and willful mismanage-
ment, and their inefficiency in the exc
cution of the trust.
The order Is reversed
