peared for the prosecution, and Duarte was
defended by Attorney Allender The ev-
dence showed that Duarte gets drunk, and
at such times uses his knife and gun free
ly. Mendoza testified that he was learning
to ride a wheel, when Duarte took several
shots at him, just for fun. Duarte first or
dered Mendoza off the Wheel and then
shot at him without waiting for him to
comply Then some other MeXicans dis
armed Duarte. Duarte was held in $1,000
bail, which he could not furnish He was
therefore taken to Jail. The prisoner
charged E. Estrada with battery, and the
latter was arrested. Estrada, however.
declares that Duarte took some shots at
a friend of his. Taken altogether, the
case is decidedly mixed and will require
much Strengthening out.
