DE YOUNG SHOT.
The San Francisco Chronicle"
Man Badly Hurt.
Fleeing in His Office Before a
Mad Subscriber
Who Empties a Revolver Into
His Carcass.


SAN Francisco. November l9.-M.
H. de Young, proprietor OF the Chronielei
was shot at $50 this afternoon by Adolph
Spreckels, son of Claus Spreckels, the Ha-
waiian sugar king. The shooting took
place in the business Office Of the Ciroa-
ieIe. Spreckels fired twice. The first shot
took effect in the left arm a little above
the elbow, the second in the left shoulder.
The shooting was the OUT come OF an arti-
Gle published in the Chronicle last Sunday
morning respecting the affairs of the
Hawaiian Commercial Sugar Company.
Spreckels was arrested and taken to the
Station House.
The particulars attending the shooting
are these: De Young entered the bust
ness office and passed into the private of
fee to get some childrens' books which he
had purchased. He came out again to
say something to one of the clerks, when
he heard some one say Mr.. de Young, l
would like to see you. He turned and
almost before he had time to recognize
the person who spoke. Spreckels fired.
The bullet struck him in the arm above
the elbow. De Young who was encum-
bered with a bundle Of childrens' books
dashed behind the high desk with the in
tention Of running from there to his
private Office. Before he had time
to do so Spreckels fred q second shot
which took effect in his shoulder. De-
Young then made a second dash for his
private Office, but in doing so slipped and
fell on the floor. Spreckles rushed up
and standing over him fred a third shot.
This bullet struck the children's books.
The chances are the books saved his life.
The instant Spreckles fired the third shot,
George w. Emerson. the advertising
clerk, grabbed a revolver lying in the
drawer of one of the desks and fired at
Spreckles, hitting him in the left arm,
causing only a slight wound Before
Spreckels had time to fire another shot, J.
G. Chesley, the cashier, sprang from behind
the railing, seized Spreckels revolver and
prevented him from using it. While
Chesley was struggling with him two other
clerks rushed up and over-powered
S~preckels. A moment after a police
officer rushed in and arrested him. EN-
ersonr the advertising clerk who fired at
S~preckels. was also arrested. Both were
taken to the City Prison. De Young
was Immediately removed in a cab to his
residence. The wounds which at first
were believed to be slight, proved on ex-
animation more serious than was supposed.
1t was found that the first bullet passed
within a sixteenth Of an inch of
the subciavian artery, which, had it
been struck would have caused him to
bleed to death. The fears now are that if
suppuration sets in the artery may become
affected. De Young remained perfectly
cool and at the present hour is resting
easy, No other reason for the shooting
is assigned than that already stated.
Spreckles is 81 years of age. He was re-
leased on IS, 900 bail, with his father Sir
Claus Spreckles, as surety Emerson, the
advertising clerk, was released on 81 900
bail.
