That part of the skin which receives

the pigment Of coloring matter.

more subject to sunburn than others.
Just why some people burn red, while

SAN DIEGO
A Sensational Suit B-gun--A Heavy
Rain-Notes

SAN DIEGO, Jan. l4.--A sensational
suit was filed in the superior court
charging fraud and conspiracy in the
affairs of the Abstract and Title Insur-
ance company of this city. The COM
plainants are S. S. Johnson, G. H. Wag-
ner and James r. Bray, who represent
1877 shares in the company, and the de-
PENDANTS D. {. Resd and John p. Burt
who own about 300 shares of the capital
stock. The complaint sets forth that the
earnings of the company for the past
six years have amounted to $G4,264.07,
all of which it is alleged was withdrawn
from the corporation and appropriated
to the individual use of d. c. Reed and
John P. Burt. Fraudulent transfers of
stock are also alleged to have been made
by defendants in order to make it APP
pear that their dealings were honest
In concluding their prayer the pluin-
tiffs ask that a receiver be appointed to
take charge of the affairs of the COM
pany. D. C. Reed characterizes the suit
as an attempt to levy blacknail against
himself and associates, because they re-
fused to purchase the plaintiffs stock
at an exorbitant figure and says that
they have been invited to inspect the
books of the company, and could have
s.scertained that there was no fraud or
deceit about the company's affairs.

was as follows: 1888, 1914; 1889. 2585;
1890, 2.S1; 1891, 2.05; 1892, S.91; 1893, 6.45;

Is inches. So it is seen that the present
fall Is one inch above the average.

STUFFED ANIMALS ON FIRE
Lively Blaze in TaXidermist Shop On
Commercial Stree,

A disastrous fire broke out last even
ing at $50 in the taxidermist store of
Thomas Shooter & Co. at 113 Commercial
street, which, while it at no time at
tanned large proportions, made a wreck
of the interior of the establishment and
DESTROYED a quantity Of property which
cannot easily be replaced. The blaze
origins ted from the explosion of coal
oil lame which was accidentally upset
by a rkman ca led Joe.
He was mounting q deer's head on a
bench in the rear II the store and was
suddenly seized w h an epiieptic fit, to
which disease he is subject. In his fall
he knocked the lamp ever and the burn
ing oil ignited the inf1ammable material
lying about Shooter resides upstairs
over the store and his wife was in the
place at the time the lamp was upset
The alarm of fire was quickly given and
Deputy Constable Mugnemi who was
passing, pulled box 35 at the corner of
Main and Commercial streets.
The department, headed by Chief
Moore and Assistant Chief Smith, quick
ly responded and had the blaze out in
short or1er, but not before much dam
aee had been done. Both Mrs. Shooter
and the workman, Joe, got out safely,

nauseating and filled the living rooms
upstairs, which, however, were not other
wise damaged.
Mr.. Shooter also conducted boot and
shoemaking shop in the store, the burn
ing leather adding it's stencil to the pre-
vailing odor.
An estimate Of the loss, he stated, could
not be made at once. Many of the arti-
clao in the n1aca were very valuable a s
curiosities while in themselves compare
lively worthless. His stock would prob
ably be worth $4,000 or $4,000, upon which
he had $1,000 insurance. 1t had taken
him years to get it together and money
could not replace his loss. Just as the
firemen were about TO go away the par
rot's cage was found in the back of the
store and. strange to say, Polly was alive
although nearly snothered by smoke.
The bird was speechless but still able to
cling to it's perch and was returned to
it's mistress amid much rejoicing.
