THREE ITALIANS ARE
CHARGED WITH
ASSAULT
Said to Have Drawn Knives
and Pistols on Rail-
way Man.

Three very uneasy Italians lie upon the
hard beds of the county Jail at present
and today a complaint was drawn charg-
ing them with assault in the third degree
lhe names OF the sons of sunny Italy ac-
cused of crime are Tony Leberto. lin,
Martel and Louis Dangeo.
The man who secured the complaint
against the Italians is William Holly, A
railroad man employed in the switch yard
of the Northern Pacific railroad in this
city. He says the Italians, who belong TO
an itinerant crew of track layers, tried to
beat him to death early this morning while
he was engaged in switching cars in the
freight yard, and that he was only able TO
save his life by clubbing them Justify with
his brakeman's lantern.
The Italians declare with many innocent
shrugs and smirks that they know nothing
about Holly or the assault upon him, and
those who have sore hands from shifting
Holly say that they were softly sleeping
in their car all the time and had sore
hands beforehand, and they are not be-
hindhand in asserting these alibis.
Holly and the yard foreman of the rail
road company, Bob Whalen, were at the
county attorneys office this morning get
ting the complaint which was issued by
Deputy County Attorney Coleman, and
they said that the Italians belonged to a
crew of men which had been laying steel
in the mountains and which were in the
yard yesterday morning when Holly and
ether employees were engaged in switching
some cars.
Holly went down the yard alone to a
point near where the Italians were as
sembled and, without any reason except
race prejudice according to the trainmen,
he was assaulted by the whole band Dur
ing the attack Holly received several
bruises on the head and face, and he in
fcted several cuts and bruises on the faces
and heads OF Dangelo and Leberto.
The three Italians in Jail were arrested
by Holly and the train crew aided by Con-
stable Harmon, after the fight was over,
the train crew having come to Holy's aid.
In the Jail today Deputy County Attor-
ncy Coleman asked who were the men that
assaulted Holly.
"Me no noa. Me asleepa ina da car"
they all said in chorus.
Some Italian had drawn knife and
another pistol during the fight.
"Who had the pistol?" the official asked.
"Me no noa. Me asleepa ina da car"
the gang all said again.
How did you get your hands bruised ?"
one of them was asked, his hands being in
bad condition from recent misuse.
"Me hava da sore banda ALA da time.
Me sleepa da car" he answered
The Italians have already employed At
torney Herrin to defend them. The
charge against them was filed in Judge
Taylor's court

week ago Saturday by Edward Carney, is

hospital and would be out again in a day
or so.

patient was doing very we'll indeed but
there was no telling when he would be

allowed to sit up for the past two days and

the excitement of getting up and about

point Of q relapse.

tons of this great country with its vast area
of arid lands cannot be irrigated at once,
