LEFT 4 BROAD TRAIL OF BLOOD.
Stabbing ARRAY Last Night Between
Two Italians.
Steve Vernardi Twice Plunges a Knite
Into His Countryman, Stef-
ano Besighinis

About half-past o'clock last night
Stefano Besighini, an italian, was twice
stabbed by one of his countrymen, Steve
Vernardi, but will doubtless recover.
1t appears that both had been drinking
during the day and were considerably
under the influence of liquor when night
came on About the hour named they
came to blows on the sidewalk at Second
and streets, and Vernardi got the worst
of it.
A few minutes later the trouble was re-
newed in front of the Colombo Hotel,
whittier Vernardi had fed after the first
encounter, but this time he did not get
the worst of the collision.
Just what occurred there is said to have
been witnessed by number of Italians,
but no one could be found who was will
ing to relate the circumstances.
Besighini, however, received two
savage knife wounds, one in the right
arm above the elbow and the other in the
thigh, about midway between the knee
and groin. He Immediately started for
the Roma Hotel, at the corner of Second
and streets, where he boards, leaving
trail of blood along the sidewalk that
looked as if it had been poured out Of a
bucket for the distance of the entire half
block.
He was very weak when he reached the
corner, and had to be supported in a
chair. Police Sergeant McManus and
several officers fastened to the scene, but
Vernardi was not to be found. McManus
bound up Besighini's wounds and the
latter was placed in the police ambulance
and taken to the Receiving Hospital,
where City Physician Fowler dressed his
wounds.
The police promptly instituted a
search for Vernardi, but at last accounts
he had not been found. 1t is supposed
he stole out of the city and is secreted
somewhere by his friends.
The men are natives of the same town
in Italy. Vernardi has lived here some
fourteen years, and is well known. The
row was apparently the result of two
heavy indulgence in liquor during the
day.

COMMENTS ON THE ARMY.
Some Expressions Taken From an
Oakland Paper.
From the Oakland Enquirer.

From the Oakland Enquirer.l
If any set of men are visionary enough
to believe that it will do them, or some
body else, good to march to Washington,
they have constitutional American
right to start out and march. But they
must do it under the restrictions which
are necessary to the protection of the
general welfare. They must not turn
themselves into an army of vagrants,
begging from door TO door, still less
threatening and terrifying communities
into compliance with their wishes. They
must not seize buildings without consent,
as one of these armies did last night,
when it came back from the railroad sta
ton, and they must not insist upon foist-
ing themselves as a dead weight on
any community until it will contribute
the money to move it forward by rail-
road.
One of the members of the Industrial
Army, who was printer, came TO the
ENQUIRER office yesterday. He was Of
fered work but would not accept it. He
said: II am not looking for work;
want pair of pants.'' This was small
incident, perhaps, but it was a significant
one, because the spirit displayed by this
man undoubtedly animates great many
others III the same organization.
The crowd which embarked upon box
left Oakland this morning for Sacra-
mento, is nominally an army of the un-
employed. But it elected as its general
in-chief man who threw up good posi-
ton in which he was earning money
enough to support his wife and child,
and perhaps to help others little, to join
this tomfool expedition. This man is an
illustration Of a class who when such a
disturbance as this arises are unable to
see where their duty lies.
The spirit of the ''army' was very we'll
displayed in the remark of Captain"
Rogers that they had as good right to
train as anybody" whether they could
pay for it or not. In other words, it was
the spirit of lawlessness and vagrancy
AS to the acts of kindness rendered to the
men by individuals in Oakland, they
were an evidence of goodness of heart,
but no doubt they went far to convince
and to encourage them in their FOLLY.
The action of tho Mayor. City Council
and Chief OF Police in insisting that the
so-called Industrial Army, after repeat
edly promising to leave town, and as
often breaking the promise. should be
made to go, will be generally indorsed
by citizens. The Enquirer thought that
the best policy would be TO send the
crowd back to San Francisco, but as the
men were willing to go forward, the
course taken may have been the wisest.
1t was necessary to do something, for
after three times breaking their word,
there was no probability that the men or
their leaders would keep faith and go of
their own accord. The only strange thing
is that Sacramento should be willing to
receive such rabble.
In starting for Washington these men
are simply going upon begging tour,
and imposing unnecessary hardships
upon every community en- route. By
their acts in Oakland they compelled the
citizens to collect and pay to the Southern
Pacific over 500 w hich might better have
gone to poor people in the city who
needed it more.

The Telegraph of Saturday contains the
following:
The prospects for a good crop of hay
and grain throughout the foothills are
very promising at present.
The dairymen in the vicinity of Clarks-
vile are feeling quite jubilant over the
easy winter which their stock has just
passed through, and are making lots OF
butter.
From all we have been able to learn,
the fruit crop for the coming season will
be large one. Apricots, which are the
earliest OF fruit harvested. will be abun-
dant, if the appearance of the trees at the
present time is TO be taken as an index,
They are almost hidden by the large
mum Der of blossoms on them. All the
early fruit crops will be large, and the
growers of fruit will be able to make
money from their sales.

Ills Encounter with tho Proud Roos' CIR
That He Saw In the Brass Ventilator.
Who would think that q rooster
could become a great pet on board
ship? But on the flagship Chicago,
the man of-war which last spring
Travelled almost 5000 miles to get
home Tor the Columbian naval pa
rade, there was a rooster that was
the pet of the men on board ship.
lie was bought in the West Indies,
on the way to MontevideO, and was
intended for the Christmas dinner;
Lut his great cheerfulness as shown
by his hearty Growing in the most
unreasonable weather won him his
life.
After his liberty had been given to
him and he had become fairly tame
he noticed one day another very proud
rooster in a polished brass ventilator
which stands on the quarterback.
He Immediately put on his proudest
air; then, noticing that the other
rooster did the same, he stepped
closer to inquire, and soon found
himself glaring pugnaciOusly at the
other fellow, who seemed quite as
defiant as himself From looks it
came to blows, and soon our rooster
was Indignantly lighting his own re-
Election. Occasionally he would strike
the ventilator a hard blow with his
bill and be thrown back much aston
ished, only to return to the attack
when lie noticed that his enemy ap-
parently retreated.
This was kept up at intervals for
several weeks, until the rooster
learne ed that more hard knocks than
glory were to be got by keeping up
the feud. Even now, after many
months on board, he occasionally re-
news the attack, but in half-heart-
ed way, as If he knew he was doing
something silly.
His name is Dick, and when there
is food ahead he answers to it like a
gentleman. At Ensenada, In the Ar
gentlne Republic, the Chicago lay
along ide the dock In the Grand Canal
and Dick was allowed to run on
shore and pick up what he could find.
He never strayed far from the gang
way, and would come proudly strut
ting back when called on board by
one OF the men.
He is very pugnacious bird, and
in Ensenada started a 4 ght betwe, n
a dog and himself. The combat, wit
messed by the whole ships company,
while productive Of no harm to either
side, was an amusing sight, and con-
sisted of dashes at the dog with oc-
casiOnal real bows on the part Of
the rooster and much barking and
running about on the part Of the
dog. ST. Nicholas.
