Two Victims of Carelessness
YOUTH SHOT WHILE
INSPECTING RIFLE.

Fred Pichier, 16 years of age, is in
a precarious condition at the City and
County Hospital and Hugo Naten-
stadt. lad of II, is held at the Mission
station because of a presumably acci-
dentaly shooting which took place in
shed in the rear of Pichler's home at
3421 Railroad avenue yesterday morn
ing. Both boys were examining a new
22-caliber rifle when it was accidentally
discharged and Pichler was shot
In the head over the right eye and is
not expected to live. 1t is probable
that Pichler was looking into the bar
rel of the weapon and that Natenstadt,
who resides at 1913 Thirty seventh
avenue South, accidentally pulled the
trigger.
The wounded youth was taken to the
hospital by Policemen A. G. Grachan
and r. j. Hanley, where he was
treated by DIR. Wahlgren. Natenstadt
was locked up and placed on the de-
tinue book pending an investigation.
which is being carried on by Detective
w. H. Harrison of the Mission station.

ACCIDENTAL WOUND
4 SERIOUS ONE.

While watching a practical demon
stration of how to cope with a gas
pipe man, w. Mccain, a hosting en-
gineer. was shot in the abdomen last
night and now lies in serious con-
dition at the Central Emergency Hos
pital. The shooting occurred at Nc
cann's room in the New City Hotel. 13S
Eighth street, the wielder of the pistol
being Richard Irving. who was try
ing to show his brother William, and
McCann how to handle a revolver when
attacked by thugs.
McCann was drinking in a nearby
saloon and casually met the Irving
brothers. He invited them to his room
and Richard. seeing a revolver there,
picked it up and proceeded to give
his demonstration.
His brother. fearing that the weapon
might explode. tried to take it away.
A scuff1e ensued and the revolver was
fired, the bullet striking Mccain, who
was seated on a chair at the other end
of the room.
McCann was hurried to the hospital.
The police, though inclined to believe
the story. are making an investigation
as McCann's wound is serious though
not necessarily fatal.

Hundreds of Prizes
to His Doglet's
Credit.

LONDON, Oct, 19.-Why English
women who exhibit dogs for prizes at
shows should affect bulldogs, the most
homely visaged Of the canine species. in
preferences to any other type must ever
remain a psychological puzzle to mere
man Perhaps it is due to the law of
contrasts--to some subtle affinity be-
tween feminine beauty and doggy ugli-
ness. Whatever be the cause it is a
fact that the most successful exhibit
ors of bulldogs In England are women.
One of them. Mrs Edgar Waterlow,
has just achieved worlds record with
her Nuthurst Doctor At the London
Bulldog Society's show he has just reg
istered his eighteenth championship.
Moreover, these championships have
been won in a fair field-not by the
too frequent process of following the
same Judge round the country.
WINNER OF PRIZES.
No less than sixteen different judges
have accorded championships to Nut
hurst Doctor at different times He
has won more than 500 prizes. At
this last show he was awarded no
less than twenty-one specials" So
far as show purposes are concerned,
The Doctor"-as he is fondly called
by his legion OF adnirers--is the mon
arch OF bulldogdom. His supremacy
In ugliness there is none to dispute.
Money could not buy him. His fair
owner has refused $4,000 for him. She
is a wealthy woman and has gone in
for breeding bulldogs as a hobby, and
to win prizes by exhibiting them

thing sporty about her, she is about
the last person in the world one would
set down as the proprietor of the
worlds champion bulldog.
AT first" she told me- II was dis
posed to take up horse breeding as a
hobby, but you cannot keep a foal by
your side continually, and somehow l
always wanted something that 1 could
look after personally and make a com
panion of. My husband made me a
present of a couple of bullpups. whom
we named Nuthurst Bill and Nuthurst
Doctor-Nuthurst after our place in
the country. Bill was the one 1 fam
cied and Mr.. Waterlow paid f15 (S75)
for him. The seller was anxious to
get rid of his brother also and Of
fered him for FLO (s5o). at which price
my husband bought him. mainly that
Bill might have some one of his kind
to frolfc with as he grew up. and not
feel lonesome.
BILL DIED YOUNG.
Bill died young, and the dog who
was bought for. mere song to provide
him with a playmate has lived, as you
know, to beat all championship rec
ords, and is today worth small for
tune. Yet L have always believed that
Bill, had he lived, would have proved
the finer dog of the two. But after
Bill went 1 transferred all my affec-
tions to the Doctor. His looks-as is
always the case with bulldogs when
properly treated-belie his character.
He is as gentle and playful as a kitten.
For all the blue ribbons that have been
tied to his collar he isn't bit stuck
UP and has no idea that he is the finest
bulldog that ever faced a Judge. Only
once has he shown any temper. That
was when a postman tried TO hit him
with a stick. The DOStman missed
but the Doctor didn't, and that postman
never tried to hit him again"
The Doctor is only five years old
but is already the grandfather of sew
eral prizewnners. There are now
twenty three bulldogs at Mrs Water
lows kennels. most of them the Doc
tors progeny.

INSURANCE MAN Is CHARGED
WITH FELONY EMBEzZLEMENT
Alleged TO Have Collected Premium
Without Having Turned in Auc-
tion Company's Policy.

Fred Tweedale, an insurance solicit
tor, employed by the Hamburg Bremen
Company, was arrested last night by
Detective Tom Gibson in Haywards and
charged with felony erbezzlement.
The complaint is sworn to by the Basch
Auction Company, the members of that
firm claiming that Tweedale collected
the premium on a policy from them,
though they failed TO receive their IN
surance money.
According to the complaint, the So
licitor insured the auction firm for $500
on February 28. He was not compelled
to make a report for sixty days. In
the meantime the fire swept the city.
The auction people claim that Tvtee-
dale collected his premium of $95, but
failed to turn in their policy and they
therefore have not been paid their loss.

claims Of the Laguna Mining Com
pany's ground and the next block north

 An excellent preparation to keep the hands soft and white is made in this way: One-third glycerin, two thirds rose water and five drops of pure car bolic acid to half pint mixture
 If you are in the least inclined to be f1atfooted, to have the instep drop, a most painful minor complaint, good plan Is to be often raising yourself on your toes, keeping the latter well pointed.
