 of HOldups ARLINGTON IN BAD SHAPE
His Head Is Swathed In Bandages and He Alp pears to be Injured Inter nally From Kicks of Mid night Prowlers.

In the arrest of Leandro Cervan- tes, Frank Para, Manuel Sontreras and Vincent Figueroa early yesterday morning. the police are confident that they have rounded up the murderOus gang which between one and two o'clock yesterday morning unmerci- fully beat up Robert Arlington, a cook at the Depot restaurant, robbed q Chinaman and attempted the hold up of another Celestial Jose Mareno had been arrested immediately follow

One of them appeared to be so drunk that he could scarcely walk and finally stretched himself across the thresh- hold of the front door. Arlington told the other men to remove their com panion.
