a Sacramento Girl Killed by Falling
Down an Elevator Shaft.
The many friends of Miss Kittie Flint
in this city were shocked on reading in
the San Francisco papers yesterday OF
her death in that city under distressing
circumstances. She left Sacramento sew
eral months ago with her mother and
sisters, the family taking up their home
at 7l0l Post street, San Francisco. While
living here she was employed for a long
time in the store of +. Lyon s. Co. and
some time after removing to the metron-
oils secured a place in the packing de-
partment of joys patent medicine labora-
tory. at 80 Market street.
On Wednesday morning she went to
work as usual, and in order to mount to
the top story of the building, on which
the laboratory is situated, boarded the
elevator. The cage is an ordinary plat
form used for hoisting freight. She
started the machine herself and leaned
over to see if friend named Carrie Cole
man was in sight, at the same time rails
ing her hand to lower the sliding gate
that bars the entrance to the cage.
She lost her balance and fell down the
shaft, a distance of twenty feet, landing
on her head. DIR. Barger was summoned
and told her, after a brief examination.
that she could not live. She was re-
moved to her home and died at 1920. She
was q beautiful girl and highly esteemed
among her acquaintance both in Sacra-
meuto and San Francisco.
While here the family-consistino of

WHO OWNS THE CROPS ?
a Badly-NTixed Case for the Courts [
Straighten Out.

a Badly-Mixed Case for the Courts to
Straighten Out.
Suit has been commenced in the SUI
perior Court by c. A. Menefee against j.
a. Parker, w. ]. Parker, Fl. N
H.. Brown, R. f. Wight, D. G.
Newman, E. F. Aiken, c. Holland
and W. S. Kendall to recover the pay
ment of a note for 1850 given in plaint-
iff's favor by j. A. Parker on the 4th OF
December, 1890, payable on or before
October l, 1891.
The complaint states that Parker
backed up his note with a mortgage on
wheat crop; that he afterward leased
the land to K. F. Wight; that later on he
decided the same land to w. j. Parker,
eXempting from the sale the mortgaged
crop and the lease to Wight.
Plaintiff AYERS that on the Sth of De-
cember he transferred his mortgage to p
S. Driver for valuable consideration,
and on the 18th Of that month delivered
TO defendant Brown Il power of attorney
to redeem the mortgage from Driver. but
not until at least $500 had been paid there
on for his (Menefee's) benefit; that on The
23d Of December Brown wrongtully re-
leased the mortgage Of plaintiff, as plant
If believes, without consideration of any
kind for the latter's benefit.
Plaintiff continues his interesting story
by alleging that on the 24th OF December
W. j. Parker gave to Brown a mortgage
on the crop on which he (Menefeej had
previously lent j. A. Parker the 81 800;
that on January 2, 1891, j. a. Parl, er
mortgaged the crop to ID. G.. Newman;
that the same was released on the 29th OF
January last, and then Jointly mortgaged
by j. \. and w. j. Parker to w. s. Ken
dali.
ON the Sd of February last, according
to the complaint, Newman assigned his
mortgage to +. L. Aiken and G. Holland.
| On the following day z. $. Driver trans
ferred the mortgage assigned TO him by
plaintiff to the said Brown as security for
an Indebtedness upon which plaintiff was
surety.
Again, according to plaintiffs tale OF
woe, Wight assigned, on February 18th,
his interest III the growing crops on a
portion Of the land to w. 5. Kendall, and
to Aiken and Holland his interest in the
crops on certain other portions of the
land. The plaintiff believes these trans
ferS We're made without consideration and
for the purpose Of defeating his lien upon
the crops, and that defendants Kendall.
Aiken and Holland all knew that his
mortgage on the crop had not been paid.
Plaintiff prayS for the cancellation OF
all the multitudinous assignments and
transfers and mortgages referred to, eX-
cepting such as were made by him in
good faith, or that il the Court should
find that Kendall, Aiken and Holland
had obtained equity superior to his, they
be required to pay over to him, instead OF
to j. a. Parker, the sums specified in the
lease as rental, and that plaintiff also have
judgment for costs.
Z. ii. Dunn is plaintiffs attorney.

A RARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $50 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand acres of
land in the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, TO
land of fair average quality, and is offered ut
from $40 10 $50 per acre, in subdivisions Of
40, so, 12o, 16o and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They win be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment OF interest only for three years, ut which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first of five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is TO be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which To
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over n period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre,
with other grades OF land at prices TO CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and espc-
cially adapted for fruit-growing cannot be
had III California for less than from $50 TO
500 an acre. An examination OF the land
subject OF this advertisement viii prove To
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land ut $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down TO fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms OF
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands TO actual settlers u result easy
Of Accomplishment.
The primary object OF the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up of largo
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement i'll smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.
