TOO HANDY WITH A KNIFE.
Drunk and DESTROYS Of Gore, but Got
Crack Over the Head.

On the police blotter is the name of
John B. Sexton with charge of drunk
enness placed against it. The prisoner
was arrested on Third street at p. m.
yesterday in a bowling state of intoxi-
cation. In this of itself there is nothing
that would attract special attneion, but
behind it lies a story.
Yesterday morning Sexton, who is
plumber by trade, came to the receiv-
ing hospital and had two stitches put
in a nasty cash over his left eye, the
wound having been evidently inflicted
with some blunt instrument. He was
under the influence of liquor at the
time, and said he had got into row
in an Alameda street house. The wound
being bandaged he departed.
In the afternoo.S about o'clock
party called at the police station and
said he wished to report the strange
actions of one j. B. Sexton. On Wednes-
day evening a Mrs. Richardson, propri-
etress of a lodging house on Boyd street
near Los Angeles had come to his house
and stayed all night, being afraid TO
remain at her place because Sexton
had threatened to kill her. She was al
lowed to stay until morning. Sexton
had been rooming at her house, Mrs.
Richardson said, but his conduct had
caused his expulsion. since which time
he had annoyed and threatened her re-
peatedly.
She went back to her house in the
morning and had been there but short
time until Sexton showed up and began
to abuse her. Finally he grabbed her
by the throat. and pulling long dirk
knife, threatened to kill he-. Breaking
away from his grasp she fled to the
room of a man named Fair and asked
for protection. Sexton followed her, but
was stopped at the door. Fair tried to
call the infuriated man to his senses
but he only transferred his anger to
him as it's object. Sexton rushed at
him with the knife. but was promptly
Knocked down with chair and dis
armed.
The informant produced the dirk, a
wicked looking blade six inches long
He gave it as his opinion that Sexton
was crazy, and asked that the police
take some action. Sections arrest fol-
lowed, and bail will be refused until 1t
is decided what the real nature of the
charge against him will be.

NOT HIGH ENOUGH.
Some Very Sanguine Silver Republicans
Figure on Bryans Majority

The figures presented in The Herald
yesterday giving an estimate of Bryan's
majority in the seven counties of South
ern California created considerable COM
ment on the streets yesterday.
These figures were given by a conser-
vatve and intelligent gentleman who
has travelled over this section and he
gave five of the seven counties to Bry-
an by 1850 majority and two of them to
Mckinley by $50 majority, leaving net
majority for Bryan of 3100.
The sentiment among silver Republi-
cans was that the estimate was alto
gether too low. The majority of them
think that Bryan will have at least
5000 net majority in the seven southern
counties. If this should prove to be
correct, then Bryan's majority in the
state will be 10000 at minimum.
The Democrats, while they are just
as enthusiastic for Bryan, seem to think
that 300 is the safe majority to rely
upon for the seven counties south of
Tehachepi. In estimating these major
tiles it is just as well not to be eXtrava-
CANT The 3l00 will do, but 5000 would
be better. The silver Republicans
claim that they are better able to fur
nish estimates because they know and
have reports of hundreds of Republi-
cans who are going to vote for Bryan
who have not publicly declared them
selves.

an evening paper to the effect that the

tionally, even II they wanted. send out
a circular of that kind.

vention endorsing silver at 16 to 1, was
