An alarm for a fire was turned in last
night at 10: 40 O'Clock from box 43, a small
blaze in the workshop of G. ]. Clark at 1719
Park street being the cause. 1t seems that
tinker's firepot had been left in corner
of the room, and the embers, starting up,
ignited bag of charcoal and the wood
work in the vicinity. There was no neces-
sity for an alarm being rung, as the fire
was put out with few buckets of water.
J. B. Morrison, the Oakland sailmaker

Henry Sparkling of Fruitvale Nav Have
to Expose Himself to the
Cathode Ray.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL, !,

SOo Broadway, March d.
Henry Sparling, resident of Fruityale,
may have to be photographed bv the
cathode process to locate several trouble
some shot that were fired into his back
nearly two years ago. The peculiar man
ner IN which the shot were imbedded in
Sparling's back was never told till to-day.
we were shooting at our camp near
Niles, he said, when an argument arose
as to the penetrating power of birdshot
nred from distance of hundred yards.
Another of the party, whom 1 will not
name Just now, offered to be target for
blrdshot at distance of a hundred yards
He was confident that he would not be
hurt, and at his request was chosen to
shoot at him. He walked off about thirty
yards and told me to shoot. | told him to
go further. When he was about hun
dred yards away / fired. aiming at his
ankle. knew that he would feel the shot,
and so he did. Some of it went into his
leg, and he got mad instantly.
Q the surprise of every body be raised
ms own gun and without any warning
hred point blank at me. l saw what he
was doing and Immediately turned my
head. The shot struck me oD one shoul-
der and my back, and | think about fifty
entered my skin. Nearly all of them were
picked out, but about dozen are still in.
Lately they have been troubling me and l
think shall have to get them out. don't
know where they all are, but perhaps an
x ray will locate them. Ny friend had to
leave our camp, and it was about SIX
months before l met him. 1t was the
most foolish piece of business ever heard
OF, and L don't think I'll ever undertake
to oblige man with such crazy idea
again."
Several well-known Oaklanders were
members of the same camp, but all were
sworn to secrecy, and the story would
never have been made public had not
Sparkling been forced to submit his pep
pered shoulder to doctor for relief.
