HE WAS HIT WITH STONE

Court Suspicious

Persistent in his declaration that he
was hit on the head with a rock thrown
by a man, E. NJ. stiles, a negro, ap-
peared before Police Judge Chambers
yesterday on a charge of disturbing
the peace. He was arrested Saturday
night in West Temple street, between
Alvarado street and Burlington ave-
nue., while running up and down the
street brandishing a knife In one hand
and carrying a huge rock in the other.
stiles said that he had alightcd from
a West Temple street car and had
gone a few steps when some one threw
q rock and hit him on the head. He
exhibited a badly smashed derby hat
as evidence of the truthfulness of his
statement. The conductor Of the street
car testified that stiles boarded the car
downtown, was intoxicated and caused
q disturbance. He referred to him as
"a bad man in the community"
Stiles was sent back to the jail until
this morning at 10 o'clock, when he
will be sentenced. In the meantime

can be hit on the head with rock and
not have any bump.
