Killed in Chicago

Eugene Kraft. man with an in
teresting history and until recently
employed in various printing offices
in Marshalltown, is dead In Chicago.
Kraft was killed, it is supposed. by
falling over an areaway, presumably
while intoxicated.
Kraft left Marshalltown about two
months ago, after a residence here of
seventeen or eighteen years. For six

and later in other printing establish
ments of the city. A wife, whom he
married after coming to Marshalltown
and who was formerly Mrs Theresa
Visek, resides in this city, at No. 20S
North Fourth avenue. The first news
of Kraft's death came in an Associate
ed Press telegram to the Times Re-
publican, as follows:

early today in the basement of 81
Wells street, the police believe the
man was Swiss army officer 1t is
also thought that he was related to
Baron De Reding. of Germany. Kraft
was a printer and for several months
had been dissipating. The indications
are that the man fell into the base
ment while sitting on the railing. A
card in the mans possession reads as
follows: In case of accident or sud-
den death notify Father Conrad. Abbot
Monastery, Notre Dame de Conception,
Baron De Reding, or Baroness Fried
enich, Baden, Germany From other
papers, it is learned that his wife Is
residing at Marshalltown, Iowa"
During recent years Kraft had be-
come dissipated and failed to secure
desired employment here. Two months
ago he went to Chicago and had been
employed in printing establishments
received letter from him a few days
ago saying he intended to return to
Marshalltown shortly. Kraft has an
interesting history. His family in
Germany is wealthy and titled, but he
seems to have gained their displeasure.
He was a college graduate and a pro-
ficient scholar in French, German and
English. He became a monk and
spent two years in monastery. but
tired of that life and came to America.
The baron and baroness referred to in
the Associated Press dispatches are
supposed to have been his brother and
sister, and the monastery the one in
which he spent two years.
The wife in this city was not noti-
fed of her husbands death until late
this afternoon, and her desires regard
ing the disposition of the remains
could not be learned.
