He hitched the horse to which the vehicle was att tached, on the west side of the city hall plaza, and when he went after the outfit 1t was gone.

Asked for an explanation Chava said he had been in fight near the depot. Another pedestrian who was met nearby said Chava had come from little shack down Fourth street. near the soap factory. The officer took his prisoner down there and found on a bed within, a Mexican woman in pret- ty bad shape. The foundation of her woes was a jag of most magnificent proportions, but to naKe matters worse Senor Chava had beaten her most brutally. The officer said she looked as though he had been stamp ing on her. but in any event she was frescoed with blood and looked as trough her face had been massaged with. sausage grinder.
