BLOODSHED ENDS CELEBRATION

10 neceSSltatS an operation, 1t being feared that the intestines were per forated The chief was ordered to the hospital, being taken there in the ambulance. He was immediately placed upon the operating table and at 9:30 o'clock was removed to a room where he rallied splendidly from the anaesthetic. While his wound in the groin is necessarily of serious character the surgeons are of the opinion that he will speedily re- cover.
 All through the early part of the night, the gravest apprehensions were felt for the recovery of Williams He occupied cot in the hospital where absolute quiet was ordered, no one being permitted to see him. The knife entered alongside of the intes- tines and while it is believed there the policeman lost considerable quantity of blood being greatly weakened thereby.
 While Valenzuela suffered consider able pain from the wound in his chest, it was not believed to be of a serious character Valenzuela is very fleshy and the knife passed through the breast. but did not go between or beneath the ribs. It is believed he will be able to go to his home within a short time.
 The body of Price was removed to the police station where it lay for half an hour while the coroner was empanelling a jury and preparing to view the remains. The throng from the outside endeaVOred to make it's way into the station and it was nee essary to place guards at every door or the city hall, denying admission to all but those who actually had busi- ness within the building.
 While thousands of MeXicans and Americans crowded the plaza out side the city hall, Coroner JohnstOne swore in six men who viewed the re- mains and then adjourned for the inquest this morning. The body was then removed to the undertaking rooms of Moore X Mcclellan. Before being removed Dr II. A Hughes who had been sworn in as a member of the jury, made an examination of the body. finding that the bullet entered the left breast just back of the nip pie and after passing almost directly through came out on the opposite but that death was instantaneous as the bullet evidently passed through the heart and the lungs.
 Coroner Johnstone last night re- quested all who witnessed the events at the head of the stair way leading into the basement of the city hall to call on him at his office today.
 Within d few minutes after the shooting and cutting. Mayor Lloyd B Christy. who had been apprised of the affair was at the city hall as was also every member of the city council A special meeting was call ed and Night Captain of Police Bris- bois was named as acting chief and instructed to take every precautiOn for the prevention of further trouble. An order was issued directing that every saloon and club in the city be closed and this order was put into
 immediate effect BrsbOis was then authorized to swear in as many spe- cial policemen as he deemed neces- sary to assist the regular force. Nine teen men were selected, sworn in, armed and given badges and sent out with orders to disperse every gather
 ing of any sort they might encounter. It was the sense of the council that no matter whether Americans or Mexicans gathered in parties of more than two or three they should be di- rected to separate The special po- licemen were sent out in squads of twos and given orders to report every foH min n pds to receive orders or to keep the act ing chief informed of conditions as they found them
 In the meantime the mayor com municated with Sheriff Jeff Adams and it was decided trat the members of Company B should be requested to come out. and be sworn in as de-
 putty sheriffs Between twenty five and thirty members of the National Guard responded to the call and pa trolled the streets throughout the night.
 Fairly good descriptions of the Mexicans have been secured. One bystander who noted the events all most from the beginning said that the man who stabbed the chief of police was a tall Mexican, clean shaven and apparently slightly stoop- ed. He wore black hat and a blue shirt.
 The other was a shorter man with a light hat He said that he had no mustache but others believed that he had one.
 At the time of the flight of the Mexicans Sheriff Adams and David L. Hughes of Tucson were driving along Washington street in front of 1 the plaza. They noticed the excite ment and heard something of a fight | The horse they were driving was l restless and required the attention of l the sheriff but Hughes was watch | ing the crowd. He saw a man push his way through the crowd over the
 sidewalk to the gutter. He was hold | ing a handkerchief over his nose and
 it was observed that his right arm
 was bloody He wore black hat and
 blue shirt and was undoubtedly the
 man who stabbed the chief.
 The sheriff and MT. Hughes had heard no shooting and supposing that | the trouble was nothing more than a drunken brawl passed, Hughes saying
 10 the sheriff. It's all over, there S
 one of the victims"
