STIFF NECKS.-That some horses as
we'll as some men are stiff-necked and
hard hearted was demonstrated yester-
day on Center street. between the
Gooding block and the schoolhOuse. A
horse hitched to a buggy was tied by
Mr.. Hutchins TO q sandstone weight
on the sidewalk. Ii became frightened
and started north on Center at a lively
clip, dragging the stone which must
weigh about 100 pounds. 1t was scarce
ly dragged either for it was in the air
most of the time, and with every jump
the horse kicked it, more to his own
sorrow, however, than to that of the
owner of the stone. He was stopped
near the schoolhouse with a set of bad
ly lacerated but not seriously injured
feet.
FAMILY DISCIPLINE. - Placida
Solares, Martha Valdez, who claims to
be his wife. and another woman named
Victoria Sanchez, went buggy riding
Tuesday night The wind storm came
up. Placido thought it was likely to
rain and suggested that they return
home. Martha who had tipped up the
bottle a few times. protested. She
wasn't afraid of a little water and
wanted to take the long chance. Argu-
ment proving unavailing, Placido swip-
ed her a time or two without pacific
results. and q second series of slaps in
the face became necessary before it
was determined who was captain of the
ship. Yesterday Martha caused the ar
rest of Placido. who admitted the state
ment of facts. but held to the theory
that as he supported the woman he
should dictate all family affairs. He
could not persuade her, and in order to
correct her effectively he was forced to
resort to blows. He SAID ne mad plenty
of money. stock, etc. but did not pro-
pose to pay a fine when he felt it I'M
just. He was therefore sentenced to
Jail for thirty days.
THE WRONG DONE TO Gotta
The cases of Jose Arviso and F. Tru
jillo charged with the abuse of Santos
Gotta came up for consideration in the
court of Justice Burnett yesterday. The
first was charged with having used
obscene language toward him. 1t was
brought out that Arviso had set up the
beer and that when CCta who had all
ready been drinking too much could
not pour any more down his neck, he
called him cabron whatever that may'
mean. This offense, heinous as it may
have been was IOndoned by the sub
sequent friendly association OF the COM
planning witness and thc defendant. .
Arviso was discharged. Then Tru ,iiIo
appeared upon the scene. lie turns
out to be nephew of Gotta, and it was
shown that when he heard that his
uncle refused to drink anything Of an
alcoholic nature, which had been Of
fered to him free of charge. he figured
that he had goneJ against the tradi-
tons of his family. He therefore pro-
ceeded to beat him. That crime was
proved and Trujillo was sent to Jail for
fifteen days.
