SAN BERNARDlNO, Sept. 27.-A
stabbing ARRAY among Mexican grape
pickers occurred at Etiwanda last night,
and one of the principals is already be-
hind the bars.
The trouble occurred toward midnight
last night. The grape piokers. who have
been camped at Etiwanda, have finished
their WORK. and last night was one of ca
rousal and gambling in the camp. The
two men who are charged with the crime
ono of whom is still at liberty. came from
Chino on Wednesday. The other men,
bers OF the party are Chrolos, from near
RedIands junction.
According to the story the three quar-
relied, one of the Mexicans from Chino
accusing the man who was afterwards
stabbed of stealing The latter, who is
only about Is years of age, denied it,
wheu he was seized by the two and car
ried some little distance from the main
party. and while one of them held him
the other drew a knife and stabbed him
in the right breast. the blade penetrating
the lung. The point of the knife struck
a rib and broke off in the bone. The
melee was witnessed by several Mexicans
but the latter did no know knife had
been used until the wounded man called
for help, the two as,ailants meantime
making their escape.
One OF them, the one who used the
knife, was seen to mount horse and
disappear in the darkness. The other
one, who held the victim while he was
assaulted, was caugh. by the campers
and bound hand and foot until the arri-
val of officers this morning. Word was
telegraphed to Sheriff Holcomb early this
morning, and he went out by the over
land, returning at II 80 with the prisoner
and with another Mexican who is de-
tanned as a witness.
Sheriff Ho!comb was accompanied BY
DR.. Aldridge, who prepared spring
wagon for the purpose and started in to
the hospital with the wounded man.
The latter's injury IS serious but is not
necessarily fatal. The wounded man ar
rived at the hospital at 3:15, and there is
every prospect Of his recovery.
MURRAY PLEADED GUILTY.
| James Murray appeared before Judge
Knox this morning, pleaded guilty to
the charge of allowing q game of faro to
be conducted in his place on Third street
and was fined 500.
| This is the end OF the first of the gam
bling cases which resulted from the cru
SADIE inaugurated during the Fiesta. On
| the second day, when the games had al
ready been in FULL blast since Sunday
night, representing the organization
| which has since developed into a society
for the prevention of crime, F. A. Leon
ard, after trying other methods. went be-
fore Judge Knox and swUre out the COM
| nj int nat
Anderson, OH account OF the games being
conducted in the rear of the NJ. Il o. sa-
loon. and in the room formerly occupied
by the Owl drug store.
rbe outcome of the case is in part, at
| least, due to the disclosures which re-
suited in the arrest of G. W. Sehern and
the consequent public Indignation at the
gambling houses which were directly re-
sponsible for it, Up to that time there
was no probability of the defendants
pleading guilty. More than that. they
were preparing to fight the cases vigor-
ously and had even demanded a jury
trial.
The fine inflicted is not the maximum
| allowed under the state law, but heavy
enough to make the business less profita-
| BILE.
Anderson's case comes DIP tomorro " at
procedure will be followed cannot be
learned, bus the prosecution has some
testimony where it can be had if needed.
