SLASHED HIS FACE

During a quarrel over game of cards
last night about o'clock O. n. Lloyd re-
ceived a terrible cut at the hands of A.
charged with assault to commit murder.
The affair occurred on Second street just
east of Los Angeles in front of saloon.
Goodell and a man named Case who is a
friend of Lloyd, had been playing a game
of cards inside the saloon, and after finish
ing the play they went out onto the side
walk, where they were Joined by Lloyd
The result of the game had not been salts

and remarked that Goodell had probably
cheated Case, as Goodell was no gentleman,
and had, moreover, cheated him dloyd) In
a game of cards some time before. This
angered Goodell, and without further
words he drew a knife and made vicious
slash at his traducer. Lloyd was cut across

A NEIGHBORHOOD ROW
The overwhelmingly Feud TEN.
porarily Settled Yesterday

! The attention of Justice Owens and a
jury of six men was occupied yesterday
with hearing the merits and dement's o!
the family of John Falvella and Marion
Planetary. The latter was tried on a
charge of disturbing the peace of Falvella.
The case was the result of a neighborhood
row which has been in progress for many
months, and has twice been aired In the
police courts.
Falvella is said to be an astute politician,
who contributes his mite in the Second
ward by working in the interests of the Re-
publican party. He is a son of sunny
Italy, and the bright skies of Southern Cal
fornia and the lovely orange groves make
him think of his native land. The only
thing that was lacking was a hand organ,
but in order to satisfy this musical craving,
and likewise to be up 10 date, Falvella pur-

Cut by His Own Dog

In James Freeman Clarke's Nineteenth
Century Questions" occurs the following
amusing dog story:
AT one time my dog was fond of going to
the railway station to see the people, and
always ordered him to go home, fearing he
would be hurt by the cars. He easily un-
derstood that if he went there 1t was con-
trary to my wishes. So, whenever he
was near the station, if he saw me coming
he would look the other way and pretend
not to know me. If he met me anywhere
else he always bounded to meet me with
great delight. But at the station 1t was
quite different. He would pay no attention
to my whistle or my call. He even pretend
ed to be another dog and would look me
right in the face without apparently recog-
nizing me. He gave me the cut direct in
the most impertinent manner, the reason
evidently being that he knew he was doing
what was wrong. and did not like to be
found out. Possibly he may have relied a
little on my near-sightedness In his maneu-
yer.

self at the police station. charged a second
time with having disturbed the peace
Eicholz was first arrested on complaint Of
Adam Arid, and their row was the result,
of a business disagreement.
Last year Eicholz purchased from a mar
named Shepard, in San Francisco, the right
to conduct a Los Angeles agency of the
Clerks Exchange, a new employment
scheme. According to his agreement
which was to run for six months, the con-
tract could be renewed between Shepard
and Eicholz by mutual agreement. Eicholz
conducted the business for some months
and about two months ago Arid appeared
and represented that he had been sent from,
San Francisco to take charge of the interest
of Shepard in the business. Eicholz took
him into the business, so Eicholz says, but
some weeks ago Arid began to intimate TO
Eicholz that he was no longer interested in
the business, and that 1t belonged to Arid.
Finally Arid told Eicholz to keep away from
the office, and yesterday Eicholz went
there and advised a man who had entered
not to register with Arid, alleging that the
books were already too full with applicants
Arid caused Eicholz's arrest on a charge Of
disturbing the peace, and the latter was re-
leased by Justice Owens under 500 cash bail.
Later in the afternoon Eicholz returned
to the office, on the advice of his attorney,
c. o. Morgan, and took down a book claim
ing that he desired TO look over some ac-
counts that he had perfect right to see
Arid ordered him to leave, and, as Eicholz
claims, struck him. Then L. G. Boss ON
who is also interested in the exchange,
helped Arid to pick up Eicholz and to-
gether they carried him bodily out of the
office. Officer P. H. Murray found the
trio on the stairs, Eichoz still being in the
arms of the other men. The entire crowd
were arrested on charges of disturbing the
peace and were released under bail. Arid,
claims that Eichoz has been out Of the
business since the last of June, and was
attempting to remove certain books from
the place when Arid and Blossom elected
