Legends Concerning Owls and Ravens.
In some parts of Europe an omelette
made from the eggs of the long cared
owl sslbelieved to be an effective cure
for drunkenness.
I'm Germany the raven is supposed to
ne able to procure a magic stone that
gives invisibility to the wearer. 1t is
apparently not simple matter to OBJ
tasn. for in the first place, after dis
covering the nest, you must satisfy
7ynurself that the old birds are at least
over century old. Then you climb to
Ithe nest, and must either take out an
EGG, boil it hard and replace it, or if
EtheFe should be Soung, you must kill
r. Tsale nestling-it must be a male.
and replace it also. After this the
spof must be most carefully marked,
Eor the parent bird, if he is old enough,
AFiii return with the magic stone, which
wIii render the nest invisible, and it is
apparently from the spot where you
#udge the nest ought to be that you
znnst pluck the prize.

HORSES PERISH
IN THE FLAMES
Score of Animals, With
Many Vehicles and Large
Stock of Feed, Consumed

Alameda, Aug. 1O.-Fire tonight
burned the Graham stables, owned by
R. H. Mcmillan, on Sherman street,
near Central avenue. Twenty-Five
horses perished and thirty-five vehi-
cles, with harness, hay and grain, were
destroyed. The large two-story frame
building occupied by the stables was
swept clean.
Besides this loss a two-stoEy frame
building adjoining the stables, owned
by Frank Moulton of Palo Alto and
occupied by Frank Templeman, was
badly injured. Two cottages owned
and occupied by Antoine VaccareZza
at 1416 and 141S Sherman street were
damaged, as was G. A. Fortner's res
idence at 1917 Central avenue, owned
by Syz & Co. of San Francisco.
The total loss is $4,000. From the
stables ten horses and four or five
vehicles were saved. McMillan's loss
will reach $4,000 to $17,500. Fire
men had great difficulty in handling
the flames. The only steam fire en-
CINE Alameda owns was in a repair
shop and out of commission. The de-
partment was compelled to work
with the ordinary hydrant pres
sure, which was so low that a stream
of water would not reach the second
story of the burning buildings. 1t was
only by strenuous effort that disas-
trous spread of the fire was prevented.
The fire broke out in a room in the
stable occupied by the employees as a
sleeping apartment.
Al Bray, stableman, saw the sud-
den outbreak at 9:45 o'clock. He was
at the rear of the big barn. Bray ran
to the firehouse, not fifty feet away, on
Sherman street and gave the alarm.
The hose company responded quickly,
but the whole structure was afire be-
fore the water was in service. A gen.
eral alarm was sounded and brought
the entire department % the scene.
Volunteers tried to save the live stock,
but not more than one-third of the
horses escaped. Most of these, as well
as the vehicles and harness destroyed
belonged to individuals who kept their
stock at the stable. The fire made such
headway that the firemen eXerted
| themselves to save the neighboring res
| idences Insurance was carried on the
damaged dwellings. McMillans insur-
ance could not be ascertained. The
cause of the fire is not known.

WOODMEN WIN
THEIR ACTION
Surety Company Must In
demnify the Athens Camp
for Sum of Money Stolen
THEFT NOT A DEFENSE
Claim That Former Insured
Treasurer Was Blameless
Is Held. Not Good Excuse
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
1915 Broadway, Aug. 10.


1915 Broadway, Aug. 10.
BY verdict rendered to-day the FL
deity Deposit and Trust Company OF
Maryland is held responsible for the
sum of 1859 % lost by w. H. Robinson,
former treasurer of Athens Camp No.
457 Woodmen of the World, and must
pay this amount to the camp, as well
al costs, amounting to $17 in the JUS
tees Court, and 50 in the Superior
Court The money, it was claimed by
Robinson, was stolen from his room,
and the surety company made the de-
fense that it could not be held respon-
sible for gAmething not the result OF
the act of Robinson.
The jyry failed to take this view of
the case. Robinson says he put the
money in a bureau drawer when he
went out one night and found on re-
turning that his room had been ran
sacked by thieves and the money
stolen. He refused to make the loss
good, and suit was brought against the
company, his surety, for the amount.
The plea that Robinson was not re-
sponsible was held not to be a good de-
fense, because bondsmen are for pro-
lection against loss without reference
to the manner in which the loss may be
occaSioned.
