O. McKINNEY MOUNT SHASTA-It was on Oct. 26. 1932, when one of the most petty and bizarre killings ever recorded in Northern Cali fornia occurred. It was over gambling, a punchboard bet so petty it was scarcely consid ered illegal. Most small business firms had a punchboard during those days to catch the small change many folks wanted to invest in the gambling urge that is almost universal. William H. Shadburn, Seiad Valley, Calif., merchant, deputy sheriff, and postmaster, thought nothing strange about a sales man coming into his store to sell a punchboard. The fact that prizes offered lor winning punch es was money instead of the us ual merchandise just made it more attractive. Most people preferred a chance to win mon ey than a gun, or some other object probably already owned or unwanted. With the deal closed, t h e salesman asked about the next business place down Klamath River, on which Sciad Valley is located. He then left for Happy Camp, the next village down stream. Tire busy salesman had scarcely gotten out of sight be fore another stranger appeared. Subsequent events revealed that his name was William Zimmer man. He had little to say, but soon he was seeking some "punchboard exercise," as play- PAGE SA IIKItAI.D AND NEWS, Klamath Kails, Oregon Sunday, December 29, 1963 ing the game was often called. He also showed a decided pref erence (or the new board on which money could be won. , That the entire setup was crooked and the work of ama teurs was soon manifest. Zim merman took 10 punches at 10 cents each. From the first punch he favored chances scat tered about the board every one worth a cash prize. Before his 10 punches were used, his cash "take" was $44. This showed not less than two glaring mistakes in the plan. He won loo soon. He also had picked the wrong man. Shadburn was a product of South San Francisco. Born "South of the Slot," he had learned to protect himself at all times. Zimmerman quit punch ing off money to observe how his victim was reacting. That observation caused him to lose interest in any more Seiad Val ley money. The merchant was changing from a businessman to a law man. This was accomplished by pulling a shiny deputy sheriff star from his pocket and pin ning it onto his shirt. Zimmerman swept up his win nings. His car was tossing grav el with its spinning wheels as Shadburn completed the trans formation. His gun was being buckled about his waist as the speeding car's roar faded in the distance. The deputy sheriff reached Happy Camp before Zimmer man had time to begin opera tions. Zimmerman was in Ed Warner's drugstore, preparing to begin punchboard operations, when the officer dashed inside and demanded that he surren der. No explanation was made just a call to "stick 'em up!" Onlookers outside the store, in terested by the sudden appear ance of speeding cars from up river, peered inside to see Shad burn clamp handcuffs on Zim merman, then step back and pull his gun. It was about then that a deputy constable of Hap py Camp named Samuel How aid arrived. Things looked like trouble to Howard. He dashed inside for a closer look. No one knows why many things happened when they did. Shadburn whirled on the local officer and ordered him outside. Howard responded with a shot at the most lawless looking man there, which was Shadburn. and dumped the Seiad Valley man onto the floor with a bullet though his shoulder. The upriver deputy-merchant later stated that he had car ried an image of his shooting the outside con man from his store all the way to Happy Camp, and his first reaction from his position on the floor was to shoot Zimmerman. Shadburn's shot closed the case so far as the punchboard artist was con cerned. He was dead almost by the time be hit the floor. It was learned that the fraud ulent idea w as fostered by J. H. Wright, Mrs. L. T. Wright, and Steven Fisher. They were ar rested in Weaverville, Trinity County, Calif., and brought to Yrcka, the Siskiyou County seat of government. They were held in jail a few days, then re leased for lack of evidence. Shadburn was hospitalized until he recovered, then released. His killing was considered done in the line of duly. This was a story of a crime committed and punishment met ed out all in one d;iy. No long drawn-out legal action was re quired. It is often called "Klamath River Justice." One angle was never cleared up. Zimmerman left Seiad Val ley with the money lie had won, plus any he may have had. When the coroner's jury got the case, he had only $2.32 and one penknife. A hitchhiker riding with Zim merman, who was also taken briefly into custody, had less than $10 in his possession. His name was Frank Scott. What happened to the $44 won from the punchboard appears to be a mystery that must wait for the "final accounting" to be cleared up.

Crawford of N e w York is one of Uie finest and most colorful players of all time. Almost anything can and does happen when Johnny is at the table. Unquestionably his false-card in a rubber bridge game at Newport was the most sensational of the year J963. South was prelty proud of his restraint in opening with only one club, lie had 23 poinls, but in addition lie had better than six old fashioned honor tricks. So once North responded to that one club opening. South was on his way to a slam and would proably have gone all the way to seven had North shown a king in response to Soulli's five no-trump iBIankwood call. Johnny was looking at a lot of cards in defense against six no-frump, but it never occurred (o him to double. He did not want to show the location of all those picture cards. When he saw dummy, Johnny was really glad that he hadn't doubled. Obviously, South held all the missing aces and kings and if he could bring those six diamond tricks he Would have his slam. ' It also looked as if South would bring those six diamond tricks home unless Johnny could create an illusion for him. That is just what Johnny did. South finessed dummy's queen of diamonds at trick two and Johnny dropped the jack. South returned to his hand with a club, led a diamond, played dummy's ten and was about to claim a grand slam when Johnny produced the king. Instead of making all the tricks South wound up going down four, 18 Q The bidding has been: BouUT West North Fast 1 IV Pass Pass T You, South, hold: JAQ&V2 KQJltaVAQU What do you dot A Double.
