ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
The HERALD's Santa Monica corre-
spondent wired as follows, last evening:
Special dispatch to the HERALD.
SANTA MONICA, CAL, Jan. 9.-Charles
II. kimball, proprietor of the Club
House at Santa Monica, was shot by
Deputy Sheriff H. w. Kellar this morn
ing at O'Clock, Kimball dying at 8 AS.
The cause of the shooting was undoubt-
edly party who drove down from Los
Angeles on Friday evening, and who
had disagreement with AL Elliott, II.
q. Beville's stableman. The party were
creating disturbance, when Kellar was
called in to quiet the same. Arrest be-
ing resisted, Kellar proceeded to Justice
Twichell's, and secured a warrant
against Kimball for resisting
an officer in the performanceof his
duties, and against a number
OF John Does and Richard Roes for dis
turDing the peace. Armed with these
documents he proceeded to the club
house, accompanied by Constable Dex-
ter, and when almost at the Club house
they saw Kimball standing in the door
way. At this point the statements of
those who claim to have seen the affair
are exceedingly contradictory, some
claiming that Kimbali had his gun, a
double -barreled shotgun, leveled and
cooked when Kellar fired the shot.
Others say that Kimball had not got his
gun before the shooting occurred. The
inquest will undoubtedly bring out the
facts, and until then they will remain in
doubt.
Kimball lived until quarter to 10,
when he died, after everything that
mortal could do to save his life had been
done, Doctors Folsom, Chaffey and Rog-
ers being in attendance.
Coroner Weldon arrived on the scene
about 80 this afternoon and impan-
neled a jury. After viewing the remains
the inquest was adjourned until 10 80
O'Clock tomorrow morning. The unfor-
tunate occurrence has cast gloom over
the entire community, both the living
and dead having many friends, and were
intimate friends up to the time of the
shooting.
THE CHIEF ACTORS.
II. w. Keller is a son Of Don Mateo
Keller, and is one OF the heirs to the
Keller estate. As this is very large
estate, Keller is therefore one of the
richest young men in Los Angeles county.
The property where the Athletic park is
located belongs to the estate, as well as
many other acres in that locality. The
Keller ranch is close to Santa Monica,
and it is there where young Keller has
resided for a couple of years. He
(Keler) is the crack football player OF
Southern California. He is very stall
wart young man, and weighs about 1856
pounds. In the match of Los Angeles
against the Charlestons Keller did
the best playing for Los Angeles.
He was also credited with play
ing great game as full back
in the match played at San Francisco
last week between Los Angeles and the
California Football club--the crack club
OF the state. Keller became an expert
player when attending school in the
northern part of the state. During the
big football boom in San Francisco sew
eral years ago, he captained the Orions
who won the championship.
Charley Kimball was also well-known
in Southern California. His Club house
at Santa Monica was quite resort for
the bloods of Los Angeles. He opened
the place about four years since. He
was rather good-looking young fellow,
and appeared to be very popular, es-
great admirer of pugilists, and his place
is adorned with pictures of many fistic
champions.
Quite number of local pugilists have
trained at Kimball's place. Joe Filings
worth trained there for his fight with
Danny Keller, and many other pugs
who have visited Southern California
made this place their headquarters, and
in consequence Kimball did a rushing
business.
Several years ago he married May
Enright, who at one time conducted
house on Alameda street. She was
deeply attached to her husband, and as
she is woman of great determination,
it is feared that she will avenge his
death.
