While attempting to stop a street
fight last evening. in which Elmo and
Leon Jackson. two colorcd youths,
were seemingly the aggressors, and in
which & small white lad is said to
hege been receiving severe punish
ment at the hands of the negroes,
Isidro Sandoval sustained a eve
cash in the back of the head and a
slight flesh wound on the right cheek.
both Of which were evidently made
with a knife blade. SandoNal is posi-
tive that Elmo Jackson cut him with
a knife or some other sharp lnstru-
ment, although the negro youth, VINO
was captured about thirty minute
after the affair occurred, denied us
ing n knife or any other weapon,
but admitted that he hit Sandoval in
the back of the head with his fist.
S%andoval's wound is not serious, but
is exceedingly painful and will prob
ably not heal entirely for several
weeks.
The jackson brothers, who are
walters in the Klean Kitchen restaur-
ant, were captured by Policeman
O'Grady half an hour after Sandoval
was cut, following an exciting chase
in which Policemen Marquette, High
bargin. Knapp. and several Santa Fe
officers and deputy sheriffs partlei-
pated.
The trouble occurred at the corner
OF Second street and Silver avenue
shortly before 3 o'clock. There is a
wide difference between the story told
by the Jacksons and that told by MIR.
Sandoval. According to Sandoavl, he
and Daniel Padilla were walking
south on Second street on their way
home, when they were attracted by a
scuffling near the postoffice. Ihey
approachod the scene Of the racket
they say, discovered the jackson
brothers numerically pounding q
small white boy about ID years old,
Leon, the larger of the Jacksons'
was beating the boys face, while Elmo
was working over another part of his
anatomy. Unable to stand by and
see two husky youths picking on u
small boy, Sandoval showed his way
the thick Of the fight and m
remarked that it was not
being conducted on the square, n
that at least n of the
Jacksons retire from active lighting
The Jacksons kept on using their
fists. however, and Sandoval without
preliminaries d in ana
took Leon by the nape of the neck
and told him to cut it out and let his
brother do the fighting alone.
Infatuated at this Interference, Elmo
Jackson turned on Sandoval and
struck him in the back of tho head,
making a deep cash and causing blood
to flow freely. Seeing that they rae
wounded Sandoval somewhat serious
w. both Jacksons fled, running south
Second street.
Sandoval's side of the story, given
a hove, is fully cOrroboratcd by Daniel
Padilla. who was the only eye wit
ness who could be located last night.
Efforts to learn the nane of the white
boy whom Sandoval claims was be-
ing beaten by the negroes, were futile

made for him by the police and by
Sandoval's friends SandoNal was
taken to Nann's drug store, where his
were dressed by Or. clayton.
