Editor Farm and Factory: In your
issue of last week there was a brief
sketch Of Robt. II. Boyd, one Of the
candidates for the office of Coroner.
This is an office Of great Importance
because in cases Of homicide the sue
Oessfui administration of justice and
the punishment Of the guilty, very
mnch depends upon the thorough In
vestigation by the Coroner at the in
quest, and besides this, in case of
the death, resignation or disqualifi-
cation Of the Sheriff the responsible
duties of that office devolve upon the
Coroner, hence he should be man
fully qualified to discharse the duties
OF both Coroner and Sheriff.
Without desiring to disparage any
Of the other candidates | wish to say
that in Robert H. Boyd we have such
man-sober, energetic, intelligent
and thoroughly competent. He is
the only son Of Major ]. l.. Boyd,
deceased, well known to many Of
your readers as useful and patri-
otto citizen, and though without any
political ambition was more than
once honored with public office. For
number Of years he was major of
the State Militia, n member of the
Constitutional Convention and SOL
der among those who fought for the
Lost Cause.
Having known Bob from his child
hood can safely say che is a worthy
son of a worthy sire" My object in
writing this Is that those who do not
know him may hear what Kind OF a
man he is, as the character of his
business is such that he cannot at
tend the campaign meetings on Sat
urdays. A Friend.

William hartman and her baby daugh
ter are occupying cots in the st. Fran
CTS hospital The mother will recover,

my arms, and my wife on the outside of
the seat. Just as the car got far
enough around on the Sacramento
street turn for me to see up the Deyisa-
dero street hill ii stopped. Hardly had
it done so when j was horrified to see
big, green car without any motorman
at the controller bearing down on us
at terrific speed. I only had time to
gasp look outr when the awful crash
came Clasping the babe tightly In my
arms, / went hurtling through the rear
window of the car.
Il was stunned for an instant but
when picked myself up I still had the
baby, and saw that she was badly in
jured. Finding my wife was in no i'm
mediate danger, 1 ran around the block
TO the St Francis hospital with the
baby. As soon she was cared for

wife to the hospital"

WOMAN SEES CRASH
Tells Graphic Story of Collision
of the Cars

Mrs. Hugh Burke, who lives across
the street from the scene of the acci-
dent, tells a graphic story of the spec
tacular collision of the cars, which she
witnessed from the vantage point of an
upstairs window in her home. Her at
tention was first attracted by the un-
usual sight of the Sutter and Jackson
street car going up the Devisadero
street hill.
Mrs. Burke said:
The turn at the corner is bad one
and two cars cannot pass on 1T. The
Chutes car, which was outbound,
stopped, as is the usual custom, while
part way around the curve. Then I
noticed the big green car coming down
the HILL apparently completely out of
control. Then the terrible crash came.
The Suffer street car seemed to leap
into the air and before it came to q
stop against the curb it stood almost
on end. The other car, which was
crowded with passengers, turned over
with a loud splitting sound. 1t did not
topple over slowly and the passengers
had no time to escape. Then the wreck
age was enveloped in cloud of dust.
which hid everything for several
minutes.
LAS quickly as possible I Joined with
my neighbors in doing all we could for
the poor unfortunates, who were so
cruelty hurt. IT was my Impression
that the man who was killed was about
to cross the street to board the car

come the hero of the collision. Clasped
tight in his fathers arms, the pretty
youngster was extricated from the

sist the injured. The pretty prattle and
clear laugh of the BABY encouraged the
rescuers. and when an examination dis
closed the fact that he was absolutely
uninjured the spectators could not re-
press a cheer which had a slight quaver
in 1t. The baby's mother. Mrs. William

injured about the spine and she was
taken to the st. Francis hospital, where
everybody who heard of the child's
