Pasadena Agency,
ia East Colorado Street
PASADENA Aug. 2O.-Deputy Sheriff
Austin arrested Miguel Hernandez and
his wife Mary today for alleged assault
upon Juan Guerrero. Guerrero is a
capable carpenter and musician at La
manda Park, and by the aid of these
talents has made handsome home for
himself and family far ahead of the
Mexicans who surround him. For this
reason many Of his neghbors have been
jealous and have annoyed him in q
hundred ways known best to the native
Mexican. Last night, 1t is alleged, one
of these Jealous neighbors, Hernandez,
lay in wait for him as he alighted from
car on his way home and proceeded
to hammer and beat him severely. In
this assault Hernandez wife, Mary,
with her finger nails and teeth bore q
no mean part. The result was that
Guerrero dragged himself home more
dead than alive, fearfully bruised.
Hernandez and his wife Immediately
sought cover and 1t was not until today
that Deputy Sheriff Austin discovered
their hiding place. They will appear
before the proper court tomorrow.
Deputy Austin brought in another
Mexican today, one Gomez, whose first
name could not be learned, who was
annoying residents of the east end by
his boisterous and unseemly conduct.
Too much Mexican red' seems to be
the cause.
Exonerates Companions
Jesse Ralston, the unfortunate young
man who was shot yesterday afternoon
while returning from a hunting trip
died during the night, although every
thing possible was done to save his
life. AS last resort a very critical
operation was performed by the sur
geons at the hospital, but without avail
This forenoon Coroner Trout came to
Pasadena and held an inquest. The
two young men who were with Ralston
when the rifle was discharged and the
surgeon were in turn examined. Capt
Austin gave the ante-mortem state
ment of young Ralston, exonerating
his companions from all blame in the
matter. The verdict was in accordance
with the facts as stated, that the lad
came to his death as a direct result of
accidental shooting. The inquest was
held at the parlors of the Adams,
Turner & Stevens company, where the
body now lies awaiting interment.
Arrangements for the funeral have
not yet been made owing to the fact
that the young mans mother is in
Arizona and an older brother on a
hunting trip somewhere in the noun
tains and it is not certain when they
can return.
