IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper From Gazette of July 27, 1872. A dark and bloody tragedy has stained the fair fame of our usually quiet town. A man has been killed—an officer—shot down in the faithful discharge of his duty in endeavoring to preserve the public peace. A citizen, a husband and a father has been hurried out of existence as the result (in the most charitable view we can take of it) of the disreputable quarrel of two men over a game of cards. David Davis, a constable of this township, and a man giving his name as Horton, were playing cards last Sunday at the Anaheim brewery. About 6 p.m. a dispute arose as to the winings. Horton took the checks and Davis seized the money. Horton immediately grabbed Davis' revolver and the latter as promptly secured another one. The parties commenced firing and the fight was transferred to the street and thence to the vacant lot between the brewery and Macy's harness shop. Here Charles F. Lehman, also a constable of this township, and late marshal of the city, interfered as a peace officer to quell the disturbance, and received a fatal shot through the body, the ball entering in front an inch below the sternum, and ranging downwards, passed through the left lobe of the liver and the cardiac orifice of the stomach, lodging in the back about two inches to the right of the spinal column, where it was found and extracted soon after. Horton ran away and was pursued by an excited crowd, who soon captured him. From Gazette of July 29, 1897.
