that what is contemplated can be accom-
plished at very small outlay. Chairman
Ha lidie Of the finance committee has
promised to find the funds necessary.
though at the present time he does not
see just where the money is to come from
The main improvement contemplated is
the building of an entrance way to the
university grounds. The present gate con-
sists of couple of posts stuck in the
ground. TIE new entrance will be from
Center street, the gate being set some fifty
feet back from the sidewalk. The APP
proach to this will be grave!ed V-shaped
walk and road combined, sixty feet wide
at the street. This will do away with two
crossings at the electric road and also the
winding walk necessary to reach the center
OF the grounds. A new walk will be con-
structed along the north bank of Straw
berry Creek to the main walk already es-
tablished.
Regent Reinstein will not give much in
formation concerning the new gate itself,
though he says it will be handsome

ment to the university grounds.

structed between the points most used.
The shortest distances will be selected,
with the object of correcting habit grown
strong on the students of making paths
across the lawn. The old plank walks will
be torn up and fine gravel substituted.
Throughout the grounds at proper dis
tances will be placed 100 settees,
the gift of a graduate. This will
be greatly appreciated by the students in
general, for at present there is not a single
seat on the university grounds.
In the main recreation grounds will be
built handsome fountain. costing not
less than $1,000. This is also the gift of
graduate who, with the same modesty as
that shown by the donor of the settees,
desires his name withheld. The fountain
will be of marble and bronze, and doubt
less be popular, as it will be the only
drinking-place in the grounds. There is
also contemplated a new gravel walk
from North Hall down the left bank of

built it will save the students considerable

KICKED into A CREEK,
Rancher Deciente Was Partly
Crushed and Partly
Drowned
WHILE REsCUING A FRIEND.
He Was Taken From the Greek, but
Died of His Injuries the
Next Day.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL
QO9 BROAD WAY Dec 6


908 Broadway, Dec. s.
Antonio Deciente, well-to-do rancher
who lived near Havwards, was partly
kicked to death by a horse, partly crushed
by buggy and partly drowned. He was
buried at Haywards yesterday. He met
with an accident last Tuesday afternoon
near the Hollis ranch.
A relative of Declente's was driving to
his place in buggy and in some manner
he was thrown out. The horse continued
a short distance to the edge OF the creek.
and Deciente went out to inquire into the
cause of the accident and to give assist
ance. While Deciente was turning the
back part of the buggy around the horse
backed the vehicle against him and forced
him into the creek. He sustained some
fractures in his bones and they caused in
ternal complications, from which he died
Wednesday afternoon.
Decente lived in Alameda County for
many years and was well known. Among
the Italian and Portuguese people he was
an important man.
Witnesses to the accident declare that it
appeared so slight that they did not think
for some time that Antonio was severely
injured. 1t is thought that the horse
must nave packed over DeClente a1ter the
wagon had knocked him down, and then
trampled some of the ribs into the old
mans lungs.
After being taken from the creek every
thing possible was done for the wounded
man. but he gradually sank and died
within twenty-four hours of the accident.
No autopsy was held as the physicians
were fully satisfied that death resulted
from internal hemorrhage.
The deceased leaves a widow and one
married daughter.
