NEAR END, PULSE FAINT, RALLIES, RECOVERING BLOOD IN PLEURA MAY NECESSITATE DRAINING BY HIS DOCTOR NO SYMPTOMS OF PNEUMONIA NOR BLOOD POISONING APPEARS Last evening marked the close of the ninth day since the shooting of Marshal Kellenberger by the drunken cholo, Lino Almendares. About the sanitarium, where the wounded man lies, there exists a more cheerful feeling on the part of the physicians concerning recovery of their patient, and with no unforeseen complications occurring he has an excellent chance for recovery. Dr. Johnston said last evening that each day lessens the danger surrounding the case, and improves chances for ultimate recovery. Still a desperately wounded man, Kellenberger's strong constitution has stood him in good stead, and those approaching the outhouse, Almendares' companions exclaimed: "Here comes the marshal!" Almendares is said to have been in the act of robbing his companion of a watch. Almendares is also said to have been a bicycle thief. He disposed of several parts of wheels in town, taking the bicycles apart and is supposed to have stolen them. Fearing arrest at the hands of Kellenberger, he deliberately attempted his murder. KELLENBERGER IDENTIFIES ASSASSIN Pointa Finger at Almendares, Says "That's the Man Who Shot Me." Fearing that Kellenberger was near the point of death, Sheriff Ruddock determined at 10 o'clock on Tuesday evening of last week to bring Almendares from the county jail for the purpose of identification by his victim. While there existed little doubt that the Mexican was the man who committed the dastardly deed, Ruddock determined to make assurance doubly sure by having him face the wounded officer. Almendares was informed of the purpose of the sheriff and was handcuffed to Officer Heard. With them were Sheriff Ruddock and Deputy Bob Squires in an auto. Knowing the temper of the people of this city regarding the assassin, the trip was made in utmost secrecy. Officer Germann was notified of the sheriff's coming and was instructed to be Sanitarium, where the wounded man lies, there exists a more cheerful feeling on the part of the physicians concerning recovery of their patient, and with no unforeseen complications occurring he has an excellent chance for recovery. Dr. Johnston said last evening that each day lessens the danger surrounding the case, and improves chances for ultimate recovery. Still a desperately wounded man, Kellenberger's strong constitution has stood him in good stead, and those optimistically inclined feel certain the patient has come out of the shadow of death. Three times since the shooting Kellenberger has had sinking spells, and the angel of death hovered near. An hour after the shooting on Tuesday of last week, physicians at his bedside regarded the end as being a matter only of a few moments. The patient's pulse had all but disappeared, and his eyes assumed the glassy aspect preceding dissolution. He suffered greatly from loss of blood, and shock. It was decided to call members of his family so that they might see him before the end. Stimulants were administered and the patient's strong vitality reasserted itself. He warded off the messenger of death, and showed traces of improvement during the remainder of the day. The two bullets which passed above the right lung, were taken from their places of lodgement in the back. Late in the evening Kellenberger suffered another sinking spell. It was because of this fact that the assassin was brought from the county jail for identification. It was feared Kellenberger would not survive the night. Again his vitality reasserted itself and in the later hours of the night he showed improved conditions. On Wednesday morning he was resting easily but fever intervened, and during the afternoon the feeling among those about him was one of doubt and fear. His temperature rose to 103½, respiration 38, and pulse 120. On Thursday morning the fever subsided to 101 and respiration and pulse beat was near normal. However the condition of the patient was one of desperate stress, and fears were entertained that pus might have gathered in the wound, Dr. Johnston said that no pus had appeared and that no trace of blood poisoning could be detected. Kellenberger's condition has improved with each day. The most aggravated feature of the case today is the presence of blood in the pleural cavity. This may necessitate draining, by insertion of a silver tube in the Mexican was the man who committed the dastardly deed, Ruddock determined to make assurance doubly sure by having him face the wounded officer. Almendares was informed of the purpose of the sheriff and was handcuffed to Officer Heard. With them were Sheriff Ruddock and Deputy Bob Squires in an auto. Knowing the temper of the people of this city regarding the assassin, the trip was made in utmost secrecy. Officer Germann was notified of the sheriff's coming, and was instructed to be near the sanitarium to assist in suppressing any outbreaks which might happen should the coming of the would-be murder become known. The party left Santa Ana at 10:45 and arrived here at 11 o'clock. They drove to the sanitarium, alighted and went upstairs to the room in which Kellenberger lay. A dim light shone through the window of the room and as Almendares looked up at it he seemed for the first time to rue his spirit of bravado which had characterized him since his arrest. Kellenberger was sinking rapidly, and was suffering severe pain from the bullet wounds as the party approached his door. They remained in waiting a half hour while a corps of physicians worked over the wounded officer. Shortly before midnight, Almendares was led into the room, manacled to Heard. Sheriff Ruddock and his deputies were at his side. He was taken to the side of the bed. When Kellenberger, who had been eyeing him intently, fixed his eyes steadily upon him and pointing his finger at him, said: "That is the man who shot me." Almendares was plainly unnerved, and had to be supported to keep from falling. He trembled like a leaf, and his swarthy face assumed an ashen hue. He was led from the room, taken to the waiting auto, and returned to the county jail. On the way back to Santa Ana, the assassin said: "If that man dies, I shall die also." Nothing was known in this city of the visit of Sheriff Ruddock and his prisoner until the afternoon of the following day. When it was learned that Ruddock had brought the prisoner here, the night of the day upon which the shooting occurred, exclamations of surprise were heard on every hand. Ruddock's act was a risky one, for the temper of the people was such, that, had it been known the assassin was again in town, violence might have been done him. However, Ruddock's act was justified, for it was not believed Kellenberger would live many years.

Kellenberger's condition has improved with each day. The most aggravated feature of the case today is the presence of blood in the pleural cavity. This may necessitate draining, by insertion of a silver tube in the side. However, this blood is being slowly absorbed and with its entire absorption the patient will probably proceed rapidly to recovery. No symptoms of pneumonia had appeared up to yesterday and the physicians are hopeful that no such complications may arise. Kellenberger lies in a north room in the second story of the sanitarium, facing the lawn. He is attended by Drs. Johnston, Beebe and Utter. Trained nurses are in attendance day and night. While Kellenberger's wounds came near resulting fatally, he probably escaped instant death at the hands of the assassin by his quick movement and presence of mind. As he approached the outhouse in which Almendrares was engaged in a drunken carousel with another cholo, the assassin rushed from the door with a revolver leveled upon him. "Put that up! Put that up!" called Kellenberger, thrusting out his arm to shield his head. He dropped to his right knee, when the assassin's first shot passed over his head. One of the other shots passed directly over the liver. Had the bullet penetrated this organ it would probably have resulted fatally.

GERMANN SEES KELLENBERGER First to Be Admitted Into Sickroom, Gets Orders From Superior Officer Officer Germann was admitted into the sick chamber on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Excepting Mrs. Kellenberger and the physicians, he was the first one in town to be admitted. He had been named by the city trustees the evening before as Kellenberger's successor during the latter's absence from his office. He found Kellenberger reasonably well and cheerful, expressing a desire to sit up in bed. This his physicians refused to permit. "Hello, Johnny! How are you?" enquired Germann. "Hello, Phil! I'm feeling pretty well. How are you? How are you getting along in the office?" The two talked for some minutes relative to affairs in the marshal's office, and Kellenberger gave instructions for routine office work. The meeting was necessarily brief for the physicians desired that the wounded man remain as quiet as possible. On emerging from the sanitarium Germann said Kellenberger looked exceedingly well considering his two dangerous wounds, and said he (Continued on page 8.) ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY. JULY 18, 1912 FORMER TRAGEDY RECALLED BY SHOOTING ANOTHER CITY MARSHAL FATALLY SHOT NEAR WHERE KELLENBERGER FELL COINCIDENCE DWELT UPON BY OLD-TIMERS WHO VISIT SCENE OF ALMENDARES' DEED The shooting of Marshal Kellenberger by a drunken cholo recalls the fact that less than a hundred feet from the spot where he fell, another city marshal of Anaheim was shot and fatally wounded in a gun fight between gamblers forty-one years ago. The man assassinated was Charles Lehman and the slayer was Dye Davis, who had held the office of city marshal and who had been defeated at the preceding election by Lehman. Davis was placed under arrest, but was acquitted at his trial. Lehman was carried across the street to a drug store at the corner of Center and Lemon Davis' sympathies were said to have been with the French, but whether this be so or not, he exercised his authority as city marshal to prevent the celebration in the street. "The first man who touches a match to that kindling," said Davis, coming up from his office a block or so away, "is my prisoner." A large son of the Fatherland, an employee at the Dreyfus ranch, standing six-foot and over, announced that he would apply the match. He assumed a squatting position at the side of the kindling, draw a match from his pocket, and struck it against his right leg. Davis struck him in the head with a heavy walking cane which he carried. The blow knocked the man over on the ground, and Davis attempted to strike him again. He was immediately surrounded by a surging mass of citizens and was prevented from striking again. A near-riot occurred in which the pioneers threatened to arm themselves and do bodily injury to any one who dared interfere in their celebration. The anvils and bonfire were moved to a lot on the west side of North Los Angeles street, near where the Pacific Telephone office now stands. Here a cannonade continued during the entire afternoon. While attempting to lift the upper anvil after an unexploded charge, Joseph Bennerscheldt, who still re- LIQUOR LICENSES TO BE RAISED BY BOARD ORDINANCE PREPARED BY CITY ATTORNEY PROVIDES FOR HEAVY INCREASE SEVERAL BUILDING PERMITS GRANTED—TREASURER'S REPORT—NOTES Anaheim's liquor dealers will add considerably to the revenue of the city after the adoption of ordinance No. 244, which was introduced and passed up to second reading at Thursday night's meeting of the trustees. It will be adopted at the next meeting, one week from tonight, and take effect thirty days after its publication in the Gazette. It has been known ever since the spring election that the board contemplated this action. It makes a heavy increase in both the wholesale and retail dealers' license and hedges the business about with limitations, restrictions and penalties. Under its spot where he fell, another city marshal of Anaheim was shot and fatally wounded in a gun fight between gamblers forty-one years ago. The man assassinated was Charles Lehman and the slayer was Dye Davis, who had held the office of city marshal and who had been defeated at the preceding election by Lehman. Davis was placed under arrest, but was acquitted at his trial. Lehman was carried across the street to a drug store at the corner of Center and Lemon streets where physicians attended him in his injury. He was later taken to the brick house on Chartres street, midway between Los Angeles and Lemon, where he died a few days after the shooting. Davis was a well-known gambler and gunfigher of the early days. He was engaged in a game of poker in a rear room of Goldstein's saloon, which stood upon the site of the present Yriarte building. Goldstein conducted a brewery and bar, and in the rear a number of private rooms for gambling. Davis was playing with a stranger, and became embroiled with him in a dispute. After a preliminary scuffle, each backed out of the room, Davis going forward and the stranger out a rear door. Each had his revolver drawn, and was looking for a pot shot at the other. The stranger had retreated well into the rear of the yard when Davis opened fire upon him from the back door of the building. Davis stepped out of the building, firing at his adversary as he proceeded. A number of shots were exchanged. Lehman was on Center street near the scene of the shooting when his attention was attracted by the fusilade. He ran between the combatants, commanding them to keep the peace, and received a mortal wound at the hands of the man whom he had a short time before defeated for the office which he occupied. A large crowd collected, Both duelists were placed under arrest. The stranger was subsequently permitted to go, Davis admitting that the ball which fatally wounded Lehman was fired from his gun. The scene of the shooting is but a few steps west of where Kellenberger fell, and the coincidence was dwelt upon by a number of old residenters, who visited the scene of Almendares' dastardly attempt at murder. Davis was probably the handiest man with a gun in Southern California in the early days.

At the intersection of Center and Hermine streets, he shot and killed a burly cholo, whom he tried to arrest upon a felony charge, and who made an attempt to draw a revolver. No man ever got the drop on Davis, and when this cholo sought to do it, he was a dead one before he knew it. Davis headed a posse which went after a Mexican bandit barricaded in Soquel Canyon. The man was brought back. Through a large leather belt which he wore about the body, there were thirteen Winchester bullet holes. At another time Davis headed a posse which went in search of a Mexican horse thief in Santiago Canyon. The man was placed under arrest and was brought back as far as the river this side of Olive. In some mysterious manner he made his escape, but whether he got away in an aeroplane or sank in the quick sand, the early historian has neglected to tell us. A report prevailed at the time, was that Davis' gun accidentally went off and that the horse thief was buried to save the county expense. When the German army entered Paris in the fall of 1870, the early pioneers, who had kept in close touch with the battle over the Rhine, prepared to celebrate the Fatherland's victory. Every pioneer in Anaheim was present at the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets, where wood was brought for a bonfire to heat irons for the firing of an anvil salute. The county school board is busy at present with the preparation of lists of supplemental examples for use in arithmetic classes over the county. These examples will be used in the class-work, and are designed to thoroughly test the understanding of the pupils in the subjects studied in arithmetic. STORY ABOUT A SHIRT Man Said He Had One—Shirt Merchant said "Good Day" An itinerant shirt vendor slipped one over on a well known business man the other day in a happy retort which has caused smiles among those who got next to the story. The shirt vendor entered the man's place of business some months ago, saying politely: "Any shirts this morning?" "Nope," replied the B. M., "I've got one." "Good day," said the travelling salesman, as he ambled out of the office. The first of the week the shirt vendor again appeared, making his rounds of the city. He entered the business man's office, asking politely: "Any shirts this morning?" "Nope," replied our fellow townsman, as before, "I've got one." "Is that the same one you had six months ago when I was here?" "It is," said the B. M., never looking up. "Good day," said the shirt vendor, as he bowed himself out of the office.

The bid of the Associated Oil Company was accepted and the clerk instructed to enter into a contract for 1500 barrels of oil. This company has been furnishing Anaheim with oil heretofore, besides its product comes from the local fields. Two petitions, one signed by 25 residents of East Broadway, the other by 18 Philadelphia street dwellers, were presented asking that those streets be graded and oiled. The Broadway petition was granted and the street department instructed to begin immediate work oiling from Los Angeles to East street. The Philadelphia street petition was held up and an effort will be made to pave that thoroughfare. Alex Henry, who headed the petition, said he would much prefer paving and promised to confer with the property owners on the matter. To the public improvements committee was delegated the duty of also wrestling with property owners relative to street improvements. Both ends of Los Angeles street from the points where the paving ends, will be improved to meet the state highway. The same system used in the construction of the state road will be adopted. The paving ends at Sycamore street on the north and Santa Ana on the south. The city will have to construct six crossings in the two sections. Members of the highway commission, it was reported, would be in Anaheim on Monday and confer with the committee.

The library board submitted a statement showing estimate of funds needed for the next year and asked that the trustees increase the tax levy for library purposes; $1926 was the sum asked for, but the board concluded that $1500 would be sufficient for next year's needs. This is an increase of $500. City Attorney Ames was instructed to draw up a suitable resolution of regret and sympathy for City Marshal Kellenberger, who was so seriously wounded in line of duty and present it to him as a mark of appreciation.

TWO MILES OF CITY STREETS FOR PAVING LOS ANGELES STREET TO BE PART OF THE STATE HIGHWAY COST OF THE IMPROVEMENTS ESTIMATED AT ABOUT SEVENTY THOUSAND E. P. Conway and F. W. Cresswell of the Barber Asphalt Paving Company, were in Anaheim on Monday in consultation with property-holders on several thoroughfares relative to paving. Among those interviewed were property-holders along Los Angeles street, north of Sycamore and south of Santa Ana streets. This thoroughfare will to part of the state highway, and State Highway Commissioner Darlington, on his visit here two weeks ago, suggested that the unpaved strips be immediately taken up and prepared for the coming of the state road. His suggestion met with approval, and Mr. Conway found no objection on the part of property-owners interviewed to paving the street. The consensus of opinion is that the work should be library purposes; $1926 was the sum asked for, but the board concluded that $1500 would be sufficient for next year's needs. This is an increase of $500. City Attorney Ames was instructed to draw up a suitable resolution of regret and sympathy for City Marshal Kellenberger, who was so seriously wounded in line of duty and present it to him as a mark of appreciation.

Seaman, a young business man of Los Angeles. During the afternoon the guests were entertained with cards and music by Miss McConnoughan of Los Angeles and Miss Louisa Paschall. At 4 o'clock a luncheon of salads, sandwiches, coffee, ice cream and cake was served at which the guests to the number of thirty sat down. Miss Lawrence occupied the place of honer under an umbrella which was festooned with pink ribbons. Just as she was seated the ribbons were pulled, releasing a shower of dainty handkerchiefs. Among those present were many old friends and schoolmates of the bride. CHAPMAN MAY ENTER RACE property-holders along Los Angeles street, north of Sycamore and south of Santa Ana streets. This thoroughfare will to part of the state highway, and State Highway Commissioner Darlington, on his visit here two weeks ago, suggested that the unpaved strips be immediately taken up and prepared for the coming of the state road. His suggestion met with approval, and Mr. Conway found no objection on the part of property owners interviewed to paving the street. The concensus of opinion is that the work should be let out to competitive bids. On North Los Angeles street, owners on the west line are a unit for paving, while on the east line there are large acreage tracts, owners of which are yet to be interviewed. On South Los Angeles street there are also large acreage tracts but it is believed little difficulty will be met in securing agreements for paving when it becomes known that the state highway commission has adopted the street as part of the state highway. The commission suggests that paving be done forthwith, for the reason that work upon the state highway in Orange county will be immediately taken up and work upon the road begun probably within ninety days. The unpaved strips north and south aggregate about three quarters of a mile. Mr. Conway also interviewed property owners along Broadway, Lemon, Philadelphia and Cherry streets. He found almost a unanimous sentiment in favor of paving. Broadway will be paved from Orange street to Palm, three quarters of a mile, and Lemon street from Broadway to Sycamore, almost the same distance. Philadelphia will be paved from Center to Broadway and Cherry between the same two thoroughfares. The entire distance to be paved is something over two miles and a quarter, and the cost is estimated at something like $70,000, and it is expected preliminary work will begin immediately. To do this work by private contract is to do it piecemeal. A specious argument has been used in this city before that when paving is done by private contract, costs of procedure under the Vrooman act are eliminated. In the present instance, with work ahead of us costing $70,000, the cost of the Vrooman act proceedings would be a fraction of one per cent. On the other hand, by signing up with the first paving company which comes along, property owners turn over this large amount of work at its own figures without competitive bids. The way in which this paving should be done is by the city trustees CHAPMAN MAY ENTER RACE Will Decide Today Whether He Will Enter Senatorial Contest C. C. Chapman, of Placentia, may make the race for state senator for this district, and his final decision will be made known today. The matter was discussed at Santa Ana Saturday afternoon when a number of prominent Riverside republicans as well as members of the party from Corona ,met with Mr. Chapman and asked him to become a candidate for the place. Mr. Chapman at first, is said to have refused point blank to make the race, but at the earnest solicitation of the Riverside county men he at length agreed to take the matter under advisement and give them his final decision today. The Riverside county men who met Saturday with Mr. Chapman are: W. G. Fraser, F. M. Dunbar, W. H. Robinson, W. B. Clancy, F. A. Miller and Lloyd Marvin, of Riverside, and A. F. Call, Hon. George R. Freeman, Hon. W. E. Collier and W. H. Jameson, of Corona. Mrs. Ann Fields and two sons, Roy and Frank Charleston, left Monday for a two-months' visit with friends and relatives in Missouri and Kansas. They will return in time for the opening of the fall term of school. In the present instance, with work ahead of us costing $70,000, the cost of the Vrooman act proceedings would be a fraction of one per cent. On the other hand, by signing up with the first paving company which comes along, property-owners turn over this large amount of work at its own figures. To award $70,000 of paving to a single company without a competitive bid would seem to be very poor business policy. THE CHILDREN'S HOUR Interest Is Growing in New Library Activity That the Children's Hour is popular with the young folks shown by the increasing attendance since the first meeting two weeks ago. At the opening meeting there 31 children in attendance. Last week there were 57 children. Several mothers came to see what was being done. Uncle Remus stories were told, and that the children enjoyed them was shown by their intense interest and hearty laughter. Tomorrow at 2:30 o'clock the third meeting will be held. Robin Hood stories are to be told. During the meetings a 10-minute physical training drill is given. As a part of the program, the children dramatize parts of the stories that are told to them. Probably an entertainment will be given in a few weeks, the proceeds of which are to buy childrens' books for the library.
