Thursday-when we were thinking of oil
ing the lawn mower, because of the mild
ness of the atmosphere, an Arctic wave
brought snowstorm which almost buried
US, making the snow shovel the absolutely
necessary. implement. about ones home.

ruin, fell a distance of 60 feet, into the
court, breaking nearly every bone in his
body. In his descent he struck pipe,
which crushed the face into an unrecogniz-
able mass. Life was not extinct when his
fellow workers rushed to his aid. All am
bulance was summoned, and he was taken
to the Central Emergency Hospital, where
Dr.. Tillman worked over him for half an
hour but his life finally ebbed out. Young
Cram was q years of age and had been
working on this building, with his father,
for several months. He came out to Cali
fornia with his family shortly after the
fire. His mother and sister have been liv-
ing in Los Angeles during the winter, :but
arrived in San Francisco Wednesday MORN
ing, the funeral taking place Thursday after
noon. To his father, mother and sister this
is a most cruel blow; but they have borne
themselves with all possible fortitude I'M
der such trying circumstances" This young
man spent a portion of the summer OF 1906
in this village, with his father, who as a
contractor was building a section of the
