Arizona weekly citizen., 1884-11-22

cumbered with an oyercoat and bundle
 of children's books, dashed behind a
 high desk with the intention of running
 from there to his private office. Before
 he had time to do SO, Spreckels fired a
 second shot which took effect in bis
 shoulder. De Young then made a sec
 ond dash for his private office, but in
 doing SO slipped and fell on the floor.
 Spreckels rushed up and standing over
 him fired the third shot. This bullet | struck the children's books and the
 chances are the books saved his life.
 The instant Spreckels fired the third
 shot George W. Emerson, the advertis-
 ing clerk, grabbed 8 revolver lying in
 the drawer of one of the desks and fired
 at Spreckels, hitting him in the left arm,
 causing only slight wound. Before
 Spreckels had time to fire another shot,
 J. c. Chesley, the cashier, sprang from
 behind the railing, siezed Spreckers re-
 volver and prevented him from using it.
 While Chesley was struggling with him
 two other clerks rushed up and over
 powered Spreckels. A moment after a
 police officer rushed in and arrested him; and Emerson, the advertising clerk,
 who fired at Spreckels, was also arrested. Both were taken to the city prison. De
 Young was immediately removed by cab to his residence. The wounds,
 which at first were believed to be slight, proved on examination to be more seri- ous than was supposed. It was found the first bullet passed within a sixteenth of an inch to the sub clavian artery, which, If 1t had 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 shootingis assigned than that already stated. Spreckels is p years old. He was released in S5,000 bail, with his father, Sir Claus Spreckels, and brother J. ID. Spreckels as sureties. Emerson, the advertising clerk, was re- leased on S1.O00 bail.
 ALBANY, Nov. I9.-The Board of State canvRssers met at three o'clock this af- ternOon, all being present. Returns from all the counties but Kings and St. Lawrence were filed. The returns from Richmond county show a very serious error in the footings on the electoral ticket. The board directed a telegram to be sent to the county clerk to explain the error. The Board adjourned until Thursday. Roscoe COnkling, William O. Whitney and Francis Lynde Stetson represent the Democrats.
 LONDON, Nov. 20.-The suit of breach of promise brought by Miss Fortescue, the actress, against Lord Garmoyle, the oldest son of Earle Cairns, was begun to-day. The court room was crowded with fashionable society and stage ce- lebrities. Lord GanmOyle was not pres ent. Charles Russell, in opening the case for the plaintiff spoke in the highest praise of his ltigant Sir Henry James. Attorney General, wac appeared for the defendant, stated he was was willing to accept a verdict of fl0,0O0 damages against his client He declares there had been nothing in Lord Garmoyle's conduct throughout the whole affair un- worthy of an English gentleman.
 HAvERHILI, Mass, Nov. 2O.-The Buckett building, comprising several stores and basement; the Creighton House and several boarding houses and rooms above were burned this morning. The fire originated Tn the hotel and quickly spread to the roof, four stories above. The hotel had twenty-nine inmates, who barely escaped with their lives. Several tied their bedclothes together and came down on the outside of the building by these means. Une man was badly cut by slIding down telephone wire. A baby was tied up in a sheet and thrown to the fireman. Katie Gllmartin and Josie Branaham jumped from a fourth story window. The GIlmartin girl received fatal injuries and the other girl was seriously hurt.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 20.-De Young. who was shot last night by young Spreckels, passed a quiet night, free from pam or fever. The doctors pur- pose making a second effort this after noon to extract the remaining bullet. but will probably defer the attempt to as late an hour In the day as possible in hope that the bullet may move itself and glye clearer indications of its exact position Less danger is anticipated rom this bullet than from the effects of the one extracted. The shoulder blade was slightly shattered and broken pieces or bone remain within the wound. It IS feared that these pieces may induce suppuration and high fever; if these broken pieces can be removed the dan ger Will be lessened. The fact that Spreckels was admitted to bal after having attempted to assassinste De Young, and in the attempt to do so in- hictlng such dangerous wounds, excites much comment. The only explanation offered IS that De Young's medical at- tendants sent word to the pollce station that the wounds were not necessarily dangerous. The Judge therefore con sldered 1t bailable offense. This state ment IS denied at the Chronicle busi- ness office. The managers say they can not understand why Spreckels should nave been bailed out as they don't think the doctors offered any opinion on the | character of the wounds, nor were they Tn position to do SO until a more crit | ical examination of them had been made, after the removal of De Young to | his residence. Should there be any ap- pesrance of De Young getting worse, Spreckels will be immediately rear
