The Charge of Assault Against Santiago
Argueiio Dismissed by Austin.
Santiago Arguello was on trial yester-
day before Justice Austin. There were
two charges against him-one for assault
with deadly weapon on the peraon Of
w. H. Miller and the other for battery,
the latter complaint being sworn to by
J. W. Holsapple.
The story, as told by the complainant,
is as follows: Arguello, who bears the
reputation of being 8 dangerous man,
lives at Boyle Heights, in the same To-
cality as the complaining witness. On
Monday afternoon Arguello was in J.W.
Smiths saloon, on Boyle Heights. He
had been drinking all day and was ready
for trouble. He first OF all called out J..
w. Holsappla and endeavored to pick a
quarrel with him, Hosappla is little
fellow and was not eager to become his
prey. Arguello then struck him in the
face, knocking him down, Upon this
man named Turner joined in and gave
Arguello thrashing. Arguello then
drew long butcher knife and ran into
the saloon to get even with some
one. Noticing w. III. Miller, he
went for that gentleman with the
drawn knife in his hand, but was
secured before he could do any harm.
In the meantime the police station had
been notified and the patrol wagon sent
for, which arrived in time to prevent
Arguelo doing any further damage.
Yesterday when he appeared in the police
court Justice Austin dismissed the case.
The charge of assaulting Hol5sppla was
continued until May 24tH.
