Punchboard Fraud Ended In Death In 1932 Incident
By 3. 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-

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.

Restraint
Goes Far
By OSWAl.lt JACOBY
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
John R. 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,
