after the recent holiday, the complaint
against Huff was found and the case
dismissed because it was thought that
Huff could not be found.
In some way the young man learned
that the case had been dropped and he
returned to Los Angeles and demanded
to know why there had been a charge
placed against him. He went to Con-
stable Cline and stated that he under
stood there was warrant out for his
arrest and he wanted the affair ex-
planned and wanted a quick explana-
tion. He made the same statement to
kis employer and his employer think
ing that the quickest way to have a
case explained was to thrash 1t out in
court, swore out a second complaint
against the young man and HUFF was
arrested and arraigned yesterday His
preliminary examination will be held
next week before Justice Pierce and in
the meantime the boy will remain in
jail.

SECOND VICTIM OF GASOLINE
STOVE EXPLOSION
Doctors and Nurses Turn Their Heads
at PitifuI Scene In Hospital, Where
Devoted Woman's Life Goes
Out as Her Heart Breaks

my baby, my baby, where is my
darling baby? For the love of the
Virgin let me see her before die. Only
let me kiss her once and 1 shall die
happy. Come, my pretty one"
1t was the voice of a mother pleading
for her child whom she did not know
had died.
Pleadingly she stretched out her arms
In the vain hope of having them filled
with the darling of her heart-the child
for whom she had offered her life
Suddenly the mother breathed a deep
sigh. Her eyelids quivered an instant
and her arms fell back, limp and life
less, to her sides.
She was dead.
The nurses standing about looked
away Accustomed IS they are to
death and pathos, they could not help
shedding tear at the scene of mother
love and hopeless desire.
Tragedy of the Heart
Out at the French hospital yesterday
afternoon was enacted the last act in a
tragedy which had It's first scene Tues

GETS A JUDGMENT
AGAINST ABBOT KINNEY
DoGE OF VENICE LOSES CASE
IN COURT
Hotel Company Successful in Suit
Brought for the Recovery of
Money 3aid to Be Due on
Rental

An old fight between the Angelus
Hotel company and Abbot Kinney, the
doge of Venice by the sea, was settled
yesterday in department four of the
superior court when judgment against
Kinney to the tune of $1040 was given
the hotel company by Judge Trask.
The LOOMS brothers asked that $1,000
be paid them for rental of one OF their
store room by Abbot Kinney last
summer. The room was one of the best
in the block and had formerly served
as side room to the bar. At the time
the police ordered that all seats be
taken from the saloons, the side room
was rented to the information bureau
or the Venice company.
The booths were used as little rooms
whereby callers could be attended and
the arrangement was a neat one.
But during the summer the rental
fell behind $1,000 and the Loomis BROTH
ers asked Kinney for the amount. Yes
terday Kinney's attorneys contended
that Kinney was not liable since agents
rented the property
But Judge Trask looked at the affair
In another light and gave the LOOMS
brothers judgment against Kinney
for the sum asked and the costs of the
suit.

Lon T. Huff was arrested yesterday

not now be in trouble.
Last year he was employed at the
produce market on East Fourth street
as an egg candler. All day long he
looked at the pellucid depths of eggs
through the thin shell coating and at
night ii is alleged he made further in
vestigation by taking the eggs away
from the store.
A warrant for the arrest of the young
man was sworn out by his employer

been acted on at meeting of the board
last Tuesday night, but some of the
members We're unable to be present and
1t was laid over for few days.
Inc reason for selling the lot on South
Hill street is that additional funds may
be obtained for the new building. AS
is well known, the association recently
closed campaign for funds for this
purpose. 1t was hoped to raise $3.50 900,
but the fire in San Francisco interfered
with the plans somewhat, and when the
canvass was closed it was found that
the total amount in hand was about
$4,000 short of the required amount. 1t
was then suggested that q large addi-
tiional sum could be realized by the
sale of the present lot and the purchase
of another not quite so centrally situ-
ated, but which would serve the pur-
poses of the association as well or bet
ter, and this plan was finally acted
upon.

In the same article on taxation an

1t would be to the interest of persons
whose deeds are not on record to have
them recorded before the first Of
March and save themselves possible
trouble by having their property
put on the delinquent list in the name
o. the former owner. Another point
that should be understood is the risk
persons run in not having their deeds
recorded promptly. If the deed should
be burned or otherwise destroyed and
no record of it the person runs a good
chance of losing his property. If in
the mean time the former owner has
removed to distant place and his
whereabouts unknown, or had be-
come insane or had died it would be
difficult matter for the purchaser
to get clear title to the land With
the seller dead or insane and the pur-
chaser had failed to take receipt for
his money at the time Of the payment
he might have a very serious time to
prove to the heirs that he had really
bought the land.
