RED BLUFF, November 14th.-This morning S. A. Saffell shot J. F. Kindelberger. Both are citizens of Red Bluff. Mr. Kindelberger was at his work, a planing mill, when Saffell entered, and requested Mr. Kindelberger to do some work for him. Kindelberger said he was busy at present, but would do the work in the afternoon.
Saffell former owner...Kindeberger's brother told Saffell to mind his own business, Saffell pulled a gun. Kindelberger told him to leave, Saffell went to the door, and shot the mill-owner in the heart.

I found a biography of Z. C. in a LA County history book-
he was a major builder of flats in LA.
Of French descent, Mr. Saffell was born in Boone Cty, AR, 1/30/1854, a son of S. P. Saffell, who was born in Tennessee and one of the early settlers of Alabama. The elder Saffell was a builder and a contractor, wagon-maker and cabinet-maker by occupation, and in after years, settled in Junction City KS. He later homesteaded a claim west of Salina, KS and in 1872 brought his family to Middletown, Lake, CA. He now resides at Stockton, CA and is 83 years of age; his wife, formerly Mary Watson, a native of Alabama, died in Fresno, CA.
There were 13 children, 7 who are living, and ZC was the fourth.
In Kansas, he married Lucy Platt, a native of Natal, South Africa, being the daughter of Sidney Platt, from England and a sugar grower. They have one child, Herbert R.
