his little boy. He had passed through
the swinging gate and had just got
behind the counter, when he heard
some one calling, "NIr. De Young,
Mr.. De Young" lie turned and
saw Adolph Spreckels advancing
from the corner entrance. The two
men had passed each other several
times during the day, and De Young
did not expect any murderous as
sault. 'Spreckels, however, quickly
RAISED A REVOLVER
Level with his eye and fred at Dc
Young. The latter felt n jar on his
left side, and ran around the desk,
Sprcckcls following. George w.
Emerson, a clerk in the office, was
working at the desk, and on hearing
the first shot, quickly comprehended
the nature of the occurrence, sprang
TO drawer in the counter, and drew
from il q pistol. BY this time De
Young had passed around the desk
with Spreckels close to him. De
Young, seeing that further attempt
to escape would place him in more
danger, turned to grapple Spreckels,
but one of his feet slipped and he
fell in STOPPING posture. Spreckels
then fired his pistol the second time,
and almost at the same instant EN-
erson reached the point and fired at
Spreckels, hitting his left arm above
the elbow. De Young fell to the
floor, and j. G. Chesley, another
clerk, grappled Sprecliels and caught
his pistol with one hand over the
hammer. J. b. Elliott, business
manager, took hold of Spreckels,
to prevent further shooting, and j.
II. Renck, clerk, caught Sprecliels
by the collar. Officer Linville, who
had been standing near the door,
rushed in and completed the capture
and placed
SPRECKELS UNDER ARREST.
Officer Harry Hook also appeared,
and arrested Emerson. Mr.. De
Young was taken into his private
office, where lie asked that a physi-
clan be called. DR.. Black soon
arrived. and the wounded mans
upper garments were removed. 1t
was found that the first bullet had
pierced the books carried by Mr.. De
Young, and passed into the upper
end of the left humerus, going for
ward towards the neck. 1t missed
the sub-clavicle artery by scarcely q
sixteenth of an inch, and Just out
side of the clavicle bone. The Sec
ond bullet struck the left shoulder,
on q line with the clavicle. 1t was
not learned whether the shoulder
socket was injured or not. DR..
Blach probed for and removed the
first bullet, the patient bearing the
operation coolly and without COM
plant. The physician could not
easily find the second bullet, and
thought it best not to probe for it
until to-day. Mr.. De Young's gar
ments were replaced, and he walked
to the sidewalk, called a coupe, en-
tered it, and with friend was driven
to his home on California street.
Arrived there Mr.. De Young walked
into the house to allay the fears of
his family, and was then placed in
bed. DR.. Murphy, the family ply
sician, was called in, and lie agreed
with DR.. Black that
THE SECOND BULLET
should not be probed for until to-
day. The wounds were thought to
be not necessarily fatal, although
danger will be involved in finding
and removing the second bullet. Mr..
De Young is likely to be confined to
his house for two OF three weeks.
Reuben Lloyd called and was admit
ted to De Young's room, but except
ing him and the attendants, the
doors were closed to all comers.
Late last night it was stated that
the second bullet had shattered De
Young's shoulder-blade, several
small pieces of which were removed.
The bullet is thought to be lodged.
under either the shoulder blade Or
the collar-bone.
AT THE CITY PRISON.
After Linville had effected the
capture of the shooters and their
revolvers he pushed into the street,
aided by Officer Hook, and hurried
his prisoners to the City Prison.
Emerson attempted to be facetious,
and tried to joke with young
Spreckels, but his overtures were
received with silence. On entering
the prison Spreckels was at once
