which the latter refused. An alter

ing Welman's pistol hand aside.
The weapon, however, went Oh,

who was in the room, In the abd0s
men, ipflicting u serious wound,
from which the man may die.
Welman was arrested by one Of the
bystandsrs and held until the train
from Los Angeles came along.
Sheriff King, of San Bernardino,
happened to be on the train on his
return from this city. and the prls-
oner was delivered to him. The
San Bernardlno Times, from which
we cOndense the above, In copclud-
ing it's account Of the adray, says:
"Our taxpayers will thus again be
burdened with q State case grow.

he does not lose his life."
About noon yesterday DR.. Ellis,
of Heinzeman & Ellis, went to his
rooms in the Baker Block, hang
ing his hat on the rack in the hall
before he entered bis room. He re-
turned to the hall almost immedi-
ately and found that his hat had
disappeared. The janitor was sent
down to the sidewalk to see If he
could descry a man with two
hats. His reconnaissance was
fruitless, the thief having got out
of sight. A short time afterwards
the janitor started to his dinner
and, looking down Arcadia street
towards Los Angeles, he saw
. shabbily dressed man on the lat
ter street with something under
his coat that he thought might be
the missing hat and gave chase.
When he came up to the maa and
asked him II he was not carrying
off hat that did not belong to
him, the latter replied with a blow.
The janitor returnsd the compli.
ment, sending the other to grass.
The man picked himself up aud, as
he did go, drew a knife with which
he made pass ut the janitor. By
this time a crowd had com menced
to gather and the fellow ran off up
Niger alley, the crowd following.
As the fugitive neared the Plaza
he was met by officer Carpenter
who, presenting his revolver, took
him into custody, He went along
quietly as far as the corner Of
Commercial street, when be made
desperate effort 20 break away.
He was fiually landed at Police
Headquarters, where he gave the
name Of G. Walsh. When asked
why he took the hat, he said he
was just from Arizona, broke, and
wanting something to cat he took
the hat, which he intended to
pawn for grub. A search of his
pockets, however, brought to light
two bit piece, which gave the lie
to one part of his story, at least.
He was locked up and will be ex-
amined before Justice Adams this
morning.
