FOUND STARVING YET WEALTHY Mystery of the Woman Rancher of Contra

 sos Broadway, May 2. Mrs. William Kreigher, the mysterious woman of Pinole. is now sick unto death at her ranch house, about six miles from the depot. She was discovered 8 few days ago by some callers-for she had few acquaintances and less friends-in a sick and squalid condition, although she is generally supposed to be wealthy.
 Mrs. Kreigher has lived many years on her ranch, and many stories have been told of her supposed wealth A few months ago a photographer who was in that neighborhood obtained the first pie ture of this peculiar woman that was ever taken, and although he worked with an ordinary camera she was not aware of his purpose.
 Arthur Logan of this city was taking a trip through Contra Costa County when he discovered this eccentric woman. She was clad in the wrecks of many gar ments, appeared to be about 60 years of age, and suffered no one to enter her house.
 For many years she was never known to leave the premises except to make an annual visit to San Francisco. On these occasions the woman would wear an ele- gant silk dress and shoes: AL all other went with bare feet. On her annual trip 1t was stated that she went to her bank CTS in San Francisco and deposited the result of her years hard work and thrift. All kinds of estimates of her wealth have been made but no one knows authorta- lively whether she Is worth 5000 or S20 900. Certain it is that she never let any one into the secret.
 The woman has not been seen on her ranch for some time, and this caused some inquiry to be made People went to the house, which they found in horrible condition, and the woman said she had been sick for over month and had been but poorly fed and nourished. She is now heinz cared for, and interested parties are trying to discover whether she has any relatives in this part of the world who might be persuaded to look after her in l,a,- al a rre

"T00 FEARFUL TO CONTEMPLATE" Attorney Mcdonald on De- mocracy Without
 Music. Martial Strains for Budd Are Still Charged Up Against the
 Committee.
Oakland Office sah Francisco Call,

:
 908 Broadway, May g.
 The Democratic campaign in this county starts out seriously handicapped. Alameda is a sensitive county. It is always willing to be stirred to it's center and to be en- unused to it's very depths, provided the right means are used to do the stir ring and the enthusing. In the past this political county has always gone wild at election time, partly over the principles that the different political parties have set forth, but also in measure by the lfberality of the music which has been supplied by the respective county com mittees.
 Nearly four years ago many votes were made for Governor Budd by the beautiful strains of the Democratic music that par aded the streets of Oakland. Everybody knows also that it was not paid for. There are now on file over fifty suits against all the members of the old Democratic County Committee, and all are on appeal in some form or another. of which the average mind knows nothing. but which have for over three years prevented the musicians from getting their money.
 "The position is very serious, said At torney Mcdonald to-day, and it may re- suit in our having to make the Democratic campaign without music. Possibly there are enough loyal Democratic musicians who would play for the glory there Is in it, but I will not vouch for this. Of course, it will seriously handicap us if there is no music, but the county com mitteemen who are sued cannot be eX- pected to shoulder the old debts of their predecessors. Nobody denies that when the Budd campaign was on we had plenty of music; no one denies that the bills of the musicians should have been settled long ago; but it is a fact that this busi- ness is still pending somewhere in the court and it would be too horrible to contemplate that the musicians of this county should boycott the Democratic campaign"
 For over a year these suits have been sleeping and the collector to whom these claims were assigned has shown no desire to have them disturbed.
