PATIENT WOULD END
LIFE BY HANGING
Miner Recently Employed at Bisbee
Attempts Suicide in Cell at
the County Hos
pital

Fred Giovanda, an italian miner,
recently employed on the Copper
Queen mine at Bisbee, Ariz., attempted
to commit suicide at the county hos
pital yesterday afternoon by hanging
himself.
Giovanda was discovered by DR.. Pas
coe, one of the internes at the hos
pital, before life was extinct. His
body was cut down and he was re-
vived.
Giovanda came here from Arizona
six weeks ago and was patient at
the California hospital under the care
of DR.. Clarence Moore. He developed
symptoms of mental disorder and was
removed to the detention ward at the
county hospital for observation.
For nearly a month he has been con-
fined in one of the cells used for the
insane patients and has been closely
watched. His conduct was such, how
ever, that it was not believed he would
attempt to harm himself.
Yesterday, during the absence OF his
attendant, he took sheet from his
bed and, twisting it into a coil, tied
one end to bar across transom and
making a slip moose in the other end
adjusted it around his neck and
stepped off his bed.
The man was insensible when found
and within few minutes would have
been dead, but quick work on the part
of the surgeons restored him. He was
then placed in muffs and guard set
over him.
Giovanda is a man of considerable
nroperty and is said to have become
mentally unbalanced dreaming of
great gold mine which he was always
on the eve Of discovering. He is said
to have had numerous plats and maps
of property worked by Spaniards
many years ago, among them being
the lost Josephine and the Silver
Queen. He also had map of the
Sangre de Christie range or mountains
in Colorado. in which a lost mine of
fabulous wealth is said to exist.
Giovanda, if he shows no improve
ment will probably be taken before an
insanity commission and committed
to an asylum.

Little Margery Harper Sustains Sc.
we're Injury When Stick Thrown
by Brother Penetrates
Nasal Cavity T

An accident to Mayor A. C. Harper's
youngest daughter cut short pleasant
visit to San Pedro harbor by the Har-
per family yesterday.
Little Margery Harper, while play
ing with her two brothers and sister,
was struck under the eye by a sharp,
rooted stick thrown by Franklin Har-
per, and the force was such that the
missile penetrated the nasal cavity.
The little girl, the baby of the fam
lily, bled freely and the party hurried
to the South Coast Yacht club house,
where bandages were applied to Mar
gery's face by Mr. and Mrs. Harper,
with the aid of friends.
The party had been cruising about
in a launch all over the inner harbor,
the accident happening in mid-after-
noon.
1t was deemed best to start for home
at once, so that surgeon could at
tend the suffering girl.
The party boarded a Pacific Electric
car, Margery holding her bandaged
face on her mothers lap and bravely
trying to smile through her tears.

MINING MAN COMES
IN TO SURRENDER
Fred w. Nash, Associate of c. J. Cali
Iahan, Appears Before Justice
When He Hears OF
Warrant

Fred w. Nash, charged jointly with
C. J. Callahan with issuing false re-
port to stockholders on the condition
of the properties of the Gold Bullfrog
Mining and Milling company on sep
tember 4 last, voluntarily appeared be-
fore Justice Selph yesterday and gave
a cash bond for his appearance Octo-
ber 8, the date fixed for the examina-
ton of Callahan, who was arrested
several days ago.
Nash reached Los Angeles from Ne
vada yesterday morning, and 1mmedl-
cately on his arrival called at the po-
lice station to inquire concerning the
complaint against him. No informa-
ton could be given him there, and he
called up the district attorneys office,
asking if a warrant was out Tor MS
arrest, representing himself to be
friend of Nash. Later he learned where
the complaint against him was filed,
and went to Justice Selph's court, &C
companied by his attorney.
The complaint against Callahan and
Nash charges the former with prepar-
ing a statement as consulting miner
alogist of the condition of the Gold
Bullfrog properties which Nash is al
legged to have signed as secretary and
director of the company. This state
ment, which purported to show fine
body of high grade ore and another
fine looking vein, with primary shoots,
is alleged to be a misrepresentation of
the true conditions.
Callahan is now out on bonds of $1,000.

BULLET THROUGH BREAST
Tinsmith, Ordered to the Coast for
tuberculosis, Says He Applied
VainIy to Society for
Relief

Despondent because he was unable
to secure employment and could NOT
obtain the funds necessary to defray
his expenses to return to his wife in
Philadelphia, Moses Gross, a tinsmith,
aged 30, walked from the quarters of
the Hebrew Benevolent society," in the
second floor of the Hellman building
at Second and Broadway, yesterday
morning, and walking a short distance
down the hallway drew a revolver and
sent a bullet through his left breast.
He was hurried to the receiving hospi-
tai, where the surgeons found that the
bullet had lodged behind the left shoul-
der blade.
Gross came here more than a month
ago because he was told by doctors in
the east that he was afflicted with
tuberculosis. He said he was unable to
get work and could not secure assist
ance from the society.
The police surgeons examined him for
tubercular symptoms and then told the
Respondent man he did not have that
disease.

'FRESHIES' AND

CLASS CONTEST WAGED FOR
TWO HOURS
Youngsters Attempt to Hold Business
Meeting and Their Quarters
Are Invaded by the
Enemy

Nations have had their Austeritzs
and Wateroos but the aforesaid were
as pink teas to what occurred at
U. S. c. yesterday afternoon when
freshmen and sophonores met in fierce
combat. Early Wednesday morning
the word was passed for all freshmen
to meet in the gymnasium for the pur-
pose of electing officers. They met as
scheduled and the meeting was called
to order by a self-appointed chairman,
who conducted what business there
was very we'll
After some discussion it was moved
that a captain for the freshman foot
ball team be elected and the rest of
the elections postponed to some future
day. Nominations were called for and
Goodnow and Allan were nominated.
AT this juncture, as they say in
novels, an interruption arose in the
shape OF an invasion by the sopho-
mores. Throwing all other duties to
the winds the freshmen repelled the
poarders with enthusiasm.
Intruders Driven Out
"a terrific crush took place in the
door leading to the shower room.
Finally the beef and grit of the fresh
men told and the sophs We're driven
to the outer door. Well! Thev say
the Ketchel-Papke fight was pretty
what happened at the door,
Clothes We're ripped off, noses were
spouting blood, voices were yelling
wildly, bodies were coming together
and separated again, only to clash
again. Numberless sophs We're thrown
over the heads of the gladiators into
the street. Not baffled for an in
stant they came up and at 'em again.
Freshmen We're dragged out by the
legs and dragged back again by their

from sweatine backs, neckties were
ripped apart without mercy.
Sophs Summon Aid
Bucking, smashing, struggling pant
ing, the sophs were at last "hoVe out, ,"
when a call for reinforcements was
heard in the gym. The sophs' aids
entered through the windows and
were in undisputed possession. With
a YELL by comparison with which the
famed "rebel yell'' was but a feeble
whisper. the battle was on again.
For two hours it ragged across the
floor, first one side and then the other
having the advantage. Sophs were

DISTRICT ATTORNEY
RAIDS SECOND PLACE
Sioux Club on San Fernando Road
Closed by officers-Large
Supply of Liquor Con-
fiscated

The second raid within twenty-four
hours on what the officials of the dis
trict attorneys office claim to be road
houses was made yesterday on the
Sioux club, two miles from the city on
the San Fernando road. The raid was
conducted under the supervision OF
Deputy District Attorney Paul j. Nc
Cormick, assisted by Detectives Brown,
Duni, Carey and Austin, and resulted
in the confiscation of large supply OF
liquors of various kinds. These were
brought to Los Angeles and placed In
the basement of the court house.
The Sioux club was run by two men
named Peterson and Mareu, the former
being arrested and taken to Pasadena,
where he was placed in Jail to await
examination. A complaint has been
filed against Mareu.
A number of men were found in the
place, which is said to contain more
than twenty rooms, alleged to be used
for immoral purposes.
A raid was made Wednesday after
noon on another place, short distance
from the Sioux club, and the propri-
etress, Mrs. Sadie Tige, was taken to
Pasadena for examination before JUS
tice Mcdonald.

the freshmen was that they were not
able to recognize their own people and
were equally enthusiastic in killing
either side. Finally, after nearly three
hours of hard fighting the contest was
called off by Dean Crowell, the direc-
tor of athletics.
Then someone called for three cheers

sophomores and three more just to

MANNELLA FORMALLY CHARGED
WITH MURDER OF LA ROCCO

Deputy District Attorney Donnell
issued a complaint yesterday against
Benedetto Mannella, charging him with
the murder of Giuseppe La Rocca, who
was stabbed to death last Saturday
night in an alleyway in the rear of
2014 Enterprise street.
A keen stiletto had been plunged
more than a score of times into his
body. Mannella was the last man seen
in company with La Rocca and was
suspected of the murder
