FOUR BITS AN ACRE
CAUSES CORY FIGHT

Jose Aguilar is patient in the CAL
exico hospital, suffering from score
or more of lacerated wounds in his
head, shoulders and back, inflicted by
hoe in the hands of Miguel Roblez,
and the latter is in Jail after receiving
treatment for several slight wounds
inflicted with bolo.
Aguilar, who is respectable and
hard working Mexican, was engaged
in chopping cotton stalks on ranch
near Calexico. Roblez wandered along
and asked him what he was getting
for the work. He replied SO cents
per acre. Roblez at once berated him
for doing the work too cheap and keep
ing men like him out of jobs.
"There's hoe, get busy, if you
want to work." was the reply of Agui-
lar. Roblez seized the hoe and got
busy. Not on cotton stalks but or
Aguilar. The latter defended himself
as best he could with his cutting knife,
but Roblez with the long handled hoe
had the best of the argument.
