Il. Castagnino, Victor Spostinini and A.
Walter, the German carpenter, who en-
gagged in such desperate and bloody
fight late Saturday evening at Castagninos
saloon, No. ~ Beale street, were arraigned
in the police court yesterday morning and
the cases continued until Wednesday.
The reason for the continuance was that
Spostinini's lip is so badly cut that he can
not articulate without suffering the &C.
verest pain. Walter is very sore about
the head from his gashes and wounds but
Castagnino does not seem to mind his cuts
any great deal. Walter still insists that he
did not do the cutting.

gone several weeks he learned that she
was in this city occupying room at a
