SHORTS KNIFE.
He Used 1t and finds Himself
Locked i'm Jail.


Peter Short was arrested yesterday
evening about O'Clock for stabbing G.
F. Munson in the neck. The affair took
place at the Carleton saloon, which is ON
Spring street, between Second and Third.
Short is a tailor, and, according to his
statement, Munson owed him a sum of
money. He had been to the saloon,
where Munson is employed, number of
times, bu. was unable to collect any
thing. Finally the affair ripened into a
standing quarrel. Several friends of the
men warned Munson that there would
be trouble and that he had better be on
his guard. Yesterday evening when
Short came into the saloon he started in
with the remark that he had come to lick
Munson. Several of the men who were
present interfered, and said that If there
was quarrel between the two they had
better 60 into back room and talk it
over reasonably, 30 as to come to an
amicable settlement. Both consented,
and they walked to the rear end of the
saloon, accompanied by the well.mean-
ing peacemakers. No sooner had they
got into the rear room, so the by-stand-
ers say, than Short spraug upon Munson
and plunged dirk knife into his neck,
just above the shoulder blade. The cut in
hicted was deep, but not necessarily fatal.
Had it been half an inch lower it would
have struck the jugular vein and caused
death.
Immediately after the wound was in
fictsd the wounded man, from whose
neck the blood was squirting, rushed at
Short and, before they could be separ-
ated, pounded his face to a Jelly. By
the time Chief Burns arrived on the spot
both the combatents were badly used up.
Munson was taken to his room, where
DR.. Choate attended him, and Short was
brought to the Police Station. Bail was
refused him.

A neat little trap was laid last night
for one of those fiutterers around society.
who occasionally make themselves OBJ
noxious, and he fell into it, though he
escaped unframed owing to the bad
management Of the manipulators OF the
scheme. The individual in question is
attached to one CT the weekly social
sheets in town, and is always to be seen
at dam es, concerts and other public en-
tertainments: where his prestige as a
newspaper man gains him admittance.
He has great weakness for the fair sex,
and is doubtless devout admirer of the
gay Don Juan, in whose footsteps he tries
to follow. 1t appears that in
attempting one Of his conquests
he incurred the displeasure of a
well-known young business man about
town, who at once proceeded to "put up
a job" on the young Lothario. A letter
written by young lady was sent to the
society plunger, in which it was claimed
that the writer had long admired him
from distance, but had never had the
opportunity of an introduction. 81 am
determined, however, to know you,"
read the epistle, "and if you are not dis
pleased with this method of forming &C.
quaintance, please meet me on Wednes-
day night at O'Clock, at Sale & Offs
drug store on Spring street. I am q
blonde, and shall wear yellow Shoes"
The note was signed "Agnes Rice" and
was sent to the young mans Office.
In response came the following COM
munication:
Los ANGELES, May 6, 1889
DEAR AGNEs-Your welcome, but most un-
looked for letter just received. 1 shall endeavor
to meet your hopes and wishes. and trust you
will not be disappointed. l have an appoint
ment for Wednesday evening, but shall let it
pass so pray be punctual. Your description of
yourself is realistic, but rather inadequate, but
shall trust to fortune and mine guardian
angel to guide me. Shall esteem 1t delightful
privilege TO meet and escort you, and we will
have merry time. Shall rely upon your own
good sense to keep the manner of our meeting
a secret, as otherwise we should both be COM
promised. and 1 not the least the sufferer of
such mishap. Am great admirer of blondes,
and dote on yellow shoes, .ah-dia-dah,' so L
will await my petit amour I remain your

The Board of Police Commissioners
came together yesterday afternoon at 2
o'clock, which was the time set for the
regular weekly meeting. All the MEM
bers were present, and they were about
to begin business when Commissioners
Lindley remarked that this was very
important meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce, which would begin at 8
O'Clock, which both he and Mr.. Dexter
desired to attend. 1t was, therefore, de-
cided to adjourn until 2 O'Clock this
afternoon, at which time the regular
weekly meeting will be held.

HE ARRIVES ON THE SCENE.


Last night, several minutes before the
hour appointed, the masher came saun-
tering slowly up to the drug store. He
had evidently been paying q great deal
of attention to his toilet, for he looked as
if he had stepped out of the proverbial
bandbox, and as he gazed into the broad
plate.glass window, smile of self-satis-
faction broke over his face as he saw his
reflection. He slackened up as he
reached the place of engagement and
gazed anxiously in as he passed by, but,
seeing no one, he pursued his walk to
the corner. There he took up position
where he could command a view of the
entrance to the store and waited
anxiously for the fatal moment.
The arch-conspirator had meantime
undertaken to be on hand with a band
of assistants, and the programme was to
seize the Lothario and give him blanket
tossing. The affair was poorly man.
aged, however, and the whole thing
came to an end by the "Saceity" news
paper man suddenly smelling rat at the
movements of the enemy, and,
jumping on passing street car, he rode
away.
