better life. He also raised a point of
law wherein Deputy Prosecuting Attor

charged. Mr. Hall and Mr. Phelps had re

RODE TO HER DEATH.
Frances Kreft the Victim of a Runa
way Accident
A shocking and deplorable accident
the loved daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul
last evening deprived Frances Kreft,
Kreft, of her life. Jnst before reaching
the stage of womanhood, a vivacious
and intelligent girl of 15 is called from
the school room to sever the ties of fam
ily life and the bonds of friendship and
enter that mysterious bourne from
whence no traveler returns. " i
FranceB K"eft was driving about
dusk last evening with a younger sister
and a child in arms. The sister was
holding the child and Frances bad the
reins. , They had crossed the "Ninth
street bridge . driving away from town
when she dropped the right hand rein.
They were passed by Miss Rose Michel!
who spoke a cautiocary remark. The
children were laughing and did not seem
to realize their danger. A moment before
Mr. Ed. Williams drove up from behind,
the Kreft vehicle turning to the left,
and Mr. Williams to the right. He also
noticed that Frances bad lost control of
the right hand rein, and looking back-,'
saw the cart tip over, throwing out its
occupants. He turned his own rig and
proceeded to the disaster, though not at
the time realizing its fearful import.
The younger girl and child were thrown
out and found to be unhurt, but nothing
was to be seen of Frances Kreft. Farther
down the road waa a cloud of dust made
by a swiftly moving horse, but neither
the cart nor its occupant could be ob
served with distinctness. Mr. Williams
(gave instant pursuit, but when next be
paw the poor girl whom he had passed
so short a time before, in the full enjoy
ment of life, she was dead. The over
turning cart had caught her in some
way, securely fastening her to it. She
was not dragged along the ground, but
was caught in the gearing in such a
manner that one side of ber face was
pressed against the wheel. Its many
revolutions bad worn away that side of
.her face next to it, even to the interior
f her head. A shoe was also torn from
.er foot.
The runaway was e to Dried bv Mr. Y.
Marsh, just this side of the Chenoweth i
creek bridge, the vehicle having been
dragged from the corner of the Mission
gardens, a distance of about two miles.
When released by him from her position
she was quite dead.
The sad news was broken as gently as
possible to the distracted parentB. Mr.
Kreft was hurrying with heavy heart
along the road to the scene of his child's
death, having been notified by the chil
dren. Mrs. Kreft was attending a lodge
of which she is a member.- The friends
of the family did' everything in their
power to allay the fearful sadness of the
parentB, to watch with the dead and
comfort the living.
Mies Frances Kreft was universally
esteemed by all who knew her. She at
tended the public -school, and a flag baa
been floating at half mast over the
school building since early morning.
The accident was one of those de
plorable affairs which can neither be
foreseen nor avoided. No blame can be
attached to anyone, and the fatality was
purely misfortune. The sympathy of
the entire community is extended to the
grief-stricken family.
A Battle of Buttons.
When yog wwt to bay
It would seem from appearances aB
though this were to be a campaign of
buttons, from the numerous designs al
ready out, notwithstanding the determi
nation of the Republican managers to
make it a campaign of education. The
silver idea gives rise to much originality,
and some very handsome buttons, ot
queer design. The McKinley bnttons
have little or no reference to the one
idea of the finances, and most of them
are portraits of McKinley or McKinley
and Hobart together. Nearly all are
adorned with the United States flag. A
description of those in stock at the pres
ent time follows :
A silk badge, costing $1, is the. most
expensive and elaborate. The bar con
tains the words McKinley & Hobart on
a "gold" surface. Just below are two
flags in relief. Following this are ad
mirably executed photographs of Mc
Kinley and Hobart, and below this the
words:- Protection, Reciprocity and
Sound Money. A gold fringe completes
the badge.
Another badge for 7a cents is very
handsome, and contains the photographs
and words: "Prosperity's advance
agents." y
There are a dozen different kinds of
buttons, some with one face, some with'
two, some with flags, some without and
a very few with mottos. One contains
the picture of an elephant, over it the
words "grand old party," and under
neath "good as gold."
The silver bnttons contain do photo
graphs. A plain white button has the
words, "Don't mention gold hare."
A silver button has the words, "No
gold bugs wanted here."
- A button half gold, half silver has the
mere figures 16 on the silver side and 1
on the gold side. . .
Another has the picture of a bee, on
one side "16" and on the other "to 1,
and underneath "no compromise."
