COWARDLY AND BRUTAL.
AN OLD MAN THE VICTIM OF
DRUNKEN DEBAUCHEES.
A zolaesque Episode on Also street-An
Assault on Old Grajiola Which May
Prove to Be Murder.

An old Spanish junk man named
Francisco Grajiola was yesterday the
victim of most cowardly and brutal
assault at the hands of lot of drunken
men and women, and may lose his life
as the result of his injuries. The affair
occurred in lodging house on Also
street near the cracker factory. Old
man Grajiola has eked out miserable
existence by picking up junk, and has
of late slept in the lodging house refer
red to. Yesterday afternoon, he was
lying on the floor of one of the rooms. f.
rolled up in his own blankets. Three
women, named Maggie Wilson.
Celestine Diaz and Marie Pacheco
were in the same room with
Bernabe Castillo and Thomas Dubois.
the last-named being colored. This
gang were indulging freely in bad
liquor and getting more and more
noisy. Their boisterous behavior at
last even disturbed old Francisco. who
ia not usually; characterized by sensi-
tiveness, and eventually the old man,
who is looking forward to his fifty-first
HuntuOI, SOt up, plChcu up LIS DldQketS
and started to leave.
This action at once called forth the
most energetic remonstrance on the
part of the Bacchanalian roysterers,
and Castillo especially put in his objec-
tions against Francisco's leaving. A
quarrel ensued, which ended with a
general attack on old Grajiola. Cas-
tillo drew an old fashioned A caliber
Nolt rounlxynr NTH oin hf-ir bor
and began firing indiscriminately about
the room. The noise he made seemed
to make him frantic, and he attacked
old Francisco in most brutal manner,
beating his defenceless victim about the
head with the barrel of the revolver.
The blows were of such force that the
heavy steel barrel of the weapon was
bent. The drunken companions OF the
murderous Castillo enjoyed the scene,
and old Francisco would have been
beaten to death had not other occupants
of the house run out and called Officer
Inns to the rescue. Sergeant Jeffreys
also happened to be in the neighborhood,
and the two placed the entire crowd
under arrest and called for the patrol
wagon.
On the way to the station-house, the
women made considerable trouble,
Maggie Wilson causing the great
est disturbance by her drunkenly
insane behavior Grajiola was at once
taken to the receiving hospital, and
Doctors Bryant and Murphy were sum-
moned. An examination showed that
Francisco had eight severe cuts about
his head. His nose was smashed; part
of his ear was cut off and had to be
sewed on. and he had six scalp wounds,
one of which fractured the outer table
of the skull. The poor man was in
semi-comatose condition all last night,
and the most serious development ex-
pected from the assault is from concus-
sion of the brain.

Los Angeles herald., 1892-02-20

For the last year, almost under the
noses of the authorities, that most OBJ
jectionable sport, cock fighting, has been
practiced on an average of two Sundays
in every month, and from far and wide
the sports have focked to see the birds
do battle.
The place resorted to is known as The
Cottage, and is situated beyond the west
end of Washington street. The house is
conducted by man named Blinn. The
pit is inclosed, and benches were pro-
vided for the ease of the patrons.
The battles must be run by some reg
ularly organized club, with Blinn as
manager, as no price of admittance was
charged, and it was also necessary to
have the tip to get inside. As arule, the
betting was rather stiff, and good sum
of money would change hands on the
result of each fight.
The birds were generally kept at the
cottage, and among other things it
seems to have been Mrs. Blinn's duty to
especially look after and pr ovide for the
lighters. Frequently birds were brought
from San Francisco and were matched
against the home birds with varied re-
suits.
There were at least three fights at
each of the meets, and at the last one,
on February 18th, three Of the birds
were killed.
The frequenters of the place were
principally tinhorn sports, women of the
half world and sprinkling of boys, but
a number of well-known business men
of Los Angeles were also patrons of the
pit. After the resort became known to
the authorities outside of the city they
determined to break it up, go Constable
Watson of Ballona township took the
affair in hand. When the place was
first started the frequenters were
very wary, but their caution
finally relaxed, and Constable Wat
son was enabled to obtain sufficient
evidence against sixty of the men to
warrant the swearing out of complaints
against them. When they were busily
absorbed in their exciting pastime on
Sunday one week ago, the officer climbed
on top of the benches and spotted his
men. He swore out warrants against
them before Justice w. P. Ross of the
Ballona district, and as most of them
were residents of this city, he came up
yesterday to nab the sports. A number
OF them were caught, but generally sue
ceeded in giving bail. Many OF the men
are prominent in this city, and rather
sensational results are looked for.

Its Fate to Be Decided at the st. Louis
Conference.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The interest
of all the great reform organizations in
the country is centered in the national
conference to be held in st. Louis next
Monday, and many think upon the out

third party. 1t is conceded by the rep
resentatives OF all the great industrial
organizations that the predominant is
sue at the conference will be the third
party movement. The Peoples party
representatives in congress, generally,
believe the conference will decide in
favor of the third party. Representa-

AN IMPORTANT LAW POINT.
Judge Van Dykes Decision in the
Rogers Mason Suit.

Judge Van Dykes Decision in the
Rogers-Mason Suit.
Judgment was rendered for the de-
fendant by Judge Van Dyke of the supe-
rior court yesterday in the suit of J. W.
Rogers against w. Mason. The parties
own adjoining lots in the town of Pasa-
dena, and some time ago under parol
agreement one donated five feet and the
other seven feet to be used as joint
roadway giving access to other premises.
The plaintiff spent considerable money
in fixing up his grounds and then came
hitch in the agreement. The Judge in
deciding the case in favor of the defend
ant laid down the law point that the
statute against frauds could not be used
to perpetuate fraud, as the rules of
equity would not tolerate such pro-
cedure.

About a SheyilIe People.
The Wilmington Star of Friday, in its
report of the encampment of the state
troops at Wrightsville, contains these
notes of interest about Ashevillians:
"Col. ]. G. Martin, Capt. T. W. Jones,
DIR. S. w. Battle and Maj. o. w. Budd
came from Asheville yesterday by way Of
Columbia, S. c.
Zone Of the special favoritcs in camp is
Master Thad W. Jones, jr., son of Capt.
7. w. Jones, U. S. A. Like his father,
he is loved by every one who knows
him.
THE Ashevills company never docs
anything by halves. They are a nice,
clever set Of boys, too. They chartered
special Pullman car to bring them to
camp, and so had very pleasant trip.
"Another distinguished officer in camp
is DR.. S. W. Battle, the resident physi.
clan of the Battery Park hotel. DR.. Bat
tie is assistant surgeon of the Fourth
regiment, and is great favorite with
every one. He seems to be enjoying
camp life and his genial good nature and
rare accomplishments will make him a
very popular companion.
THE major OF the second battalion,
Fourth regiment, o. w. Budd is not a
stranger to military work. For twenty
FIVE years Major Budd was in the saddle
as captain in the Fourth Cavalry, U. S.
A., where he made himself distinguished
for his bravery and knowledge Of mill
tary tactics. He was the first United
States army officer to violate the treaty
between the United States and Mexico
in pursuing horse thieves across the Dor
der. He has been retired from the regu-
lar army, and his coming into our state
guard is quite an addition; he is a very
valuable member of it."
