COW CAUSES ROW

MRS. ANNA NAGG CHARGED
WITH ASSAULT
She Is Alleged to Have Attacked Boy
Who Was Throwing Corncobs
at Trespassing
Bovine
[Special to The Herald.]
REDONDO BEACH, Jan. 29.—Mrs.
Anna Nagy of Ihis city is out on $500
bond tonight, after being arraigned to
day on the charge of attempted as
sault with a deadly weapon. Tho com
plaint against Mrs. Nagy was made
by Mrs. G. 10. Allen, and she charges
Mrs. Nagy with chasing bar young
son, Adrian Conn, for some distance
with an ax.
The Nagy and Allen families reside
next door to each other In the Redon
do Villii tract in tho north end of the
city. Mrs. Nagy owns a line milch
COW, and it was because of the cow
that tho arrest Of the owner came
about this morning. The affair prac
tically amounts to a neighborhood
squabble, which will probably see Its
culmination in the trial of Nagy
before Justice of the Peace L. F. Wells
next Wednesday.
The cow was staked out upon the
lot of Mrs. Nagy this morning. Ac
cording to Mrs. Allen, tho rope was
too long and the animal trespassed
upon her lot. Young Conn thereupon
attempted to drive tho cow on to lta
own side of the neighborly boundary
line, hurling corncobs at the bovine to
accelerate her movements. Mrs. Nagy,
viewing the pelting of the source of
the family mill* supply from a pantry
window, hastened out and, seizing an
ax, tried to wreak revenge upon the
boy, according to Mrs. Allen. The
latter, however, escaped her after an
exciting chase, in which he *aid ha
was badly frightened.
It is said that the Nagya and Aliens
have not got along in the past few
weeks as good neighbors should, and
consequently tbero is DO love lost be
tween them. The police say that*fre
quently family quarrels in this section
of the city are brought to their at
tention, but this is the lirst time any
of them has ever approached such
serious consequences as this between
the Nagys and tho Aliens.

thing given in Los Angeles like last
night's affair. It rang true from tin
moment the 260 guests sat down ai
banquet table until they ro.se again
from their seats In the theater.
The guests of honor were memt» i
the committee: D. A. Hamburger,
chairman; Perry Weidener, Fred I*.
Baker, Wm. F. Garland, M. C. Neuner,
Dick Ferris and F. J. Zeehandelaar,
Rev. Baker P. Lee and Mayor Alex
ander. The banquet was given under
the direction of Max Mi'berg, chair
man; Dr. Carl Kurtz, M. H. Newmark,
F. W. Blanchard, Adolph K. Braver, B.
W. Pridham, J. C. Koepfli and J. Luok
enback.
Unique Decorations
Unique in all Its appointments Wi re
the banquet and the features which
followed. The decorations alone were
worth more than a passing glance
for the spirit of the occasion had been
carried out literally by the use of
aeroplanes and balloons. Candy fly-
Ing machines were used as serving
trays. Then the parade down Broad
way to the Orpheum theater was
unique. It is not often that L'so men
in evening dress and high hats, carry
ing baskets of flowers and hundreds
of toy balloons are Seen walking along
a city thoroughfare to the accompani-
ment of band music. Such scenes as
were enacted by the audience at the
Orpheum have rarely if ever before
been duplicated In the historic old
playhouse, although it is a "variety"
theater and its walls are used to
frowning down upon .sumo strange
sights and hearing some strange
sounds.
In the Alexandria banquet hall on
the second floor of the hostelry the
first event of the evening took place.
The room resembled the workshop of
laliputian aeronauts, just ready to sit
down to a feast of the gods, as the
guests entered.
Balloons and Biplanes
From every conceivable place toy
balloons floated. There must have
been a thousand of them. Over the
head table, where sat the honor guests,
Mayor Alexander and others, minia
ture Curtiss and Farman biplanes,
Blerlot monoplanes, a duplicate,
though smaller, of the famous balloon
New York, two dirigibles and hun
dreds of toy balloons whirred and
floated as they had cavorted on Do
minguez aviation field. One side of
the table was made a bank of red
roses, from the center of which spurt
ed a tiny electric fountain. At the
base of the fountain a tiny lake was
formed.
A banquet without speeches is sup
posed to be like a ship without a rud
der. In order to preserve the unity of
things festal, there were speeches, im
promptu and of one minute's duration.
Max Myberg, chairman of the banquet
committee and toastmaster, stated that
he had promised to deliver the guests
to the Orpheum management prompt
ly at S o'clock. Therefore, he said, he
would allow no speech-making:. But he
did not reckon with his guests, for they
demanded that the aviation committee.
men and Mayor Alexander say just a
few words. Kaeh did so gracefully. F.
W. Blanchard proposed the toast to the
rmnmitteemen, and Toastmaster My
berg proposed one to the president of
the United States. Three rousing
cheers and a deeply-drunk toast was
the tribute paid Henry E. Hunting
ton, "the man who put up the
dough," as he was called when the
toast was drunk.
Guests March to Theater
Immediately after the banquet the
guests formed in line in the lobby of
the hotel and marched two by two,
west on Fifth street, and north on
Broadway to Second, then east on Sec
ond, and south on Spring Into the Or
pheum theater. Every man had a toy
balloon or, rather a dozen of them,
floating from his hand or coat lapel.
The table decorations, dainty baskets
of flowers, had been appropriated and
were carried by the marchers later to
be handed over-the footlights to the
women performers at the theater. The
line of march was through avenues of ',
spectators who cheered and clapped
with delight at the strange pageant.
As the banqueters passed into the
theater they nearly raised the roof off
the place with cheers and songs. On
the stage the Klks' club drill team
was going through evolutions. The pn
rade had been headed by the white
clothed Elks, making an effective set
ting to the black dress clothes of the
others. Later the Elks took places in
tho theater.
At a signal from Mr, Myberg nearly
every balloon was released and shot
up to the ceiling a hundred feet.
Medals for Committeemen
During the intermission Rev. Baker
['. Lee presented each of the commit
teemen with medals as a token for
their services. D. a. Hamburger re-,
sponded.
Every person on the program added
something to the delight of the even
ing. , Mayor Alexander and the com
mitteemen who occupied the front
lower boxes were the butt of number
less Jokes, all of which were taken in
good humor. As the acts proceeded
each woman performer was the recip
ient of a basket of flowers. Alice Lloyd
was fairly loaded down with gifts.
When the last curtain came down it
was to the music of cheers, ending one
of the most unusual affairs ever held
In Los Angeles.
