After they were married, the entire ex-

Mrs. Dean, and the only contribution he
evermade toward her living during the
course OF their married life was a pair of
shoes, valued at SIS.
Crushed by the Wheels.
II. A. Croze, a young fireman, who was

this morning, fell under the wheels near

The young man had just finished coaling
up his engine for the trip when the engi-
neer started up, and as Croze turned to
lower the tender-apron his foot slipped,
and before the big locomotive could be
stopped the wheels of the heavily laden
tender had passed over him, crushing him
beyond recognition.
The Coroner was notified and the re-
mains taken to the Morgue, where an in
quest will be held as soon as his parents
reach the city.
Croze was single man, 90 years of age,
and resided with his parents at Benicia.
