SPECIAL DISPATCH TO The CALL

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO The CALL.
BAKERSFIELD Nov. s.-Mator Gem
eral William R. Shafter is lying dan
gerously Ill at his ranch near this city
and a consultation of the leading ply
sicians OF this city this afternoon de-
ternlined that he is suffering from
acute pneumonia.
For several days past the general has
been Ill, and, failing to improve under
the care of the local family physician,
outside doctors were hastily summoned
this morning and consultation was
held. Symptoms of stomach trouble
were apparent, but the consultation de-
veloped that the primary cause was
pneumonia
The condition of the patient was an
nounced as being extremely precarious.
and at a late hour this evening no
change for the better had been re-
ported. General shafter has not been
moved to a sanitarium because, so II is
understood. his condition will not allow
it. The general has been living at his
ranch near here for many months past.
