TRIO INVOLVED
IN CUTTING ROW
ON EAST SIDE

One man is in the hospital today,
another Swathed in bandageS and
third serving six months in the
county Jail as a result of a cutting
fray at Second and Brighton streets
at 8 o'clock Saturday night.
Mike Abdelnour, proprietor of q
store at the intersection, is in the
hospital with a deep cash, inflicted
by razor, across his chest. B. VAL
dez received serious cuts about the
face, and deep cash in his throat
not two inches from the jugular
vein.
Jesus Hernandez, 48, is serving a
Jail term on technical charge of
being drunk and disturbing the
peace, with the possibility that
charge of assault with a deadly
weapon will be filed against him.
Conviction on this charge would car
ry term Of from one to five years
in the penitentiary.
Abdelnour was cut when he tried
to separate Hernandez and Valdez,
participating in an alleged drunken
brawl in front of his store. Her.
nandez was badly beaten up when
he began welding the razor which
nearly caused the death of Valdez
and serious injury to Abdelnour.
Police officers were called to the
scene of the fight after the two men
had been cut. The two Mexicans
were arrested. Both were sentenced
by Judge Kendall B. Perkins in po-
lice court this morning on charges
of being drunk and disturbing the
peace.
Valdez was sentenced to serve 80
days in the county Jail, and the SEN
tence suspended during his good be-
haviour. Judge Perkins recommend
ed that an assault with a deadly
weapon complaint be filed against
Hernandez. Such a charge would
be prosecuted by the county.
The razor used by Hernandez in
the fight had apparently been
honed especially for purposes other |
than shaving. The blade had been
Clipped off and ground down to a
wavy cutting edge.
The cause of the brawl could not
be determined by officers. Both
Mexicans were drunk, they said !
and could give no good reason for
fighting.

CUFF DRAFTED
AS CANDIDATE
FOR ASSEMBLY

A representative body OF citizens
from the north end of Imperial
county has definitely decided to
draft E. w. Cuff as a candidate fol
assemblyman to represent Imperial
county This decision was reached
after considering the situation now
confronting the people of this coun-
ty.
Representatives from other Sec
tions in the south half of Imperial
county have insisted that the north
end select a representative, suitable
candidate and have assured their
support.
1t is true two candidates have an
nounced themselves--one from the
southern portion of the county and
one from the northern. Many rep
resentative citizens from all parts
of the county have not felt satisfied
with either of these candidates. The
feeling, we find, is prevalent, that
the election of either of these men
will tend to create discord and lack
of support which the county can i'll
afford to foster at this time.
The only object the citizens OF
Brawley have in selecting Z. w. Cuff
is to accede to the insistence of
other communities to place before
the people of Imperial county man
who has been free from former in
tensive political discussion a man
of proven ability and one who will
be representative of all sections
fair to all, and who, by his ability
as a harmonizer, will give every
community to understand that the
north end of Imperial county is SOL
idly for a candidate whose sole pur-
pose will be to represent the best
interests of the county as whole
and bring about a feeling of har-
mony throughout the county and
create a community spirit through
cut Imperial Valley.
Mr.. Cuff announced in Saturday IS
issue of the Brawley News that he
would not make the race for the
office of assemblyman. However,
upon the insistence of the commit
tee he has pledged himself to make
the sacrifice and make the race to
the best of his ability. The commit
tee has requested Mr.. Cuff briefly
to state his policy, and same will
appear in the press in order that
all sections of the valley may know
the policy which he and his friends
advocate and which they hope can
be accomplished.-Cuff Five Hun

tary.

They said:
when we approached the

1--WE stayed on the island for
seven days and were without
food or shelter. Every time we
tried to start the motor it
took It's toll Of energy and
sometimes we feared that we
would never be able to get
away.
"At last we managed to get
the motor going and started
back for the Siberian coast
with the wind at our tail.
1--WE landed at a little fish

flashed the news Of our safety
