to the solitude of the woman's cell
 for seven days.
 Estella Graham and Lupa Martinez, 1 two more notorious ladies, were ar
 rested for having a general fight with each other and everybody else who ran
 into their presence. Lupa was found
 to have instigated the riot and five simoleons were demanded for her lib-
 erty. They were forthcoming. The charge against Estella was found not to be a true hill.
 Then came the case against Auscen-
 cio Perez, in which he was charged
 with felony on two counts, the case being the aftermath of the bloody incl dent between the Redlight saloon and | the Italian restaurant at the corner of Seventh and Cleveland streets Sunday night. Perez was charged with as- saulting Albert Fisher with a deadly weapon, cutting him in the arm, and l also with having very seriously cut in l the abdomen, one Guadalupe Martinez, a bystander, supposed to have had no | interest in the case. Owing to the crit l ical condition of Martinez, the exam | ination Of Perez was postponed until 10 o'clock Friday. Martinez was re- | ported yesterday a s doing even better | than was expected from the nature of | his wounds.
 | A little further light was thrown yes- | terday on the origin of the trouble, l though it is a doubtful flame and ! but slightly Illuminating. Fisher said
 after his arrest Sunday night that Pe-
 reg, Refugio Chavez and another Mex l ican who composed the trio that was
 in the Redlight saloon before the trou- ble, only a few weeks ago killed | friend of his in Cananea. When the
 men grew turbulent in the Redlight
 and the proprietor asked him to put them out, he complied willingly, but | noted that ore of the trio sitting at | table had given Perez the knife whose edge he had occasion to feel later. He
 felt that he was up against it; that the | trio was up here after him perhaps. | Later when he struck Chavez, who ap- | preached him in the rear of the restaU-
 rant while he was dressing his wound, he said he thought the man was com | ing to assault him and struck him in
 self defense. But when he failed to show up in police court yesterday, pre-
 ferring to forfeit his bail bond, his story seemed to lose weight.
 Roso Martinez, who was arrested last
 week for the non-support of his fam l fly, was tried yesterday. It appeared | that in some way he had threatened | his wife so that she did not want to | testify against him, though she con-
 plained that she had a child only twen- | ty days old and that for two days I her lord and master had provided 1 nothing for them to eat. The justice 1 issued attachments for the witnesses in l the case and had them brought into
 court. The testimony proved the mans s guilt and the court intended to flne l him $50, but the wife interceded for l him and at her request the fine was cut | down to ten dollars, which the defend-
 ant paid.
 | A man named Perry had another
 man named Will Smith arrested on | the charge of stealing his blankets,
 underwear, etc, and selling them for | fifty cents to party living in the low CT end of town. The two men had
 worked together at the Monihan ranch | On the Yuma road. They used the barn | for dormitory and left their personal | effects there when they came to town | Saturday night Later Smith went i back, according to his own story, and got his belongings and sold them. He ! says he did rot touch the other mans
 possessions, and the latter claimed he | took ever ything in sight. The circum- | stantial evidence was strong, but no | one saw Smith take the goods and the
 court did not feel Justified in holding | him. Smith admitted though that he
 had just finished d jail sentence in Pinal county for stealing another mans blankets.
