A DISGUSTING CASE.
A Man Who Ought to BE Severely
Punished.

A Man Who Ought to Be Severely
Punished.
One of the most disgusting cases with
which the police ever dealt in this city
was brought to light last night when
Detectives Insley, Bosqui and Hawlsy
arrested f. p. drick, alias @. W.
Carter, alias N. P. Wilder. 1t is q pity
that no charge except vagrancy can be
placed against him.
Detective Insley had been notified
from nearly every large town south of
San Francisco to be on the lookout
for a couple who were going from
place to place and earning
living by obliging the woman to asso-
ciate with Chinsmsn. They arrived
here last Monday from San Diego, The
officers watched them until last night.
when they found their rooms, at lao
South Los Angeles street, wera being
visited by large number OF Cinnamon.
The door WAS burst open and China
man and the woman found there. The
most revolving sight was the presence of
Wildrick.
The couple were taken to the police
station and locked up. Wildriok was
booked for vagrancy. He is 80 years Of
age. The woman is only 20 years of age.
She gave her name as Julia Thompson,
and says she and Wildrick came together
from Portland, Ore, where her parents
reside. 1t is thought Thompson ia not
her correct name.

The Elder Dumas.

OF bis Sheridan-like dealings with
tradesmen an anecdote is told. During
d scarcity of ice neighbor Of Dumas
Ient to dealer for some and was told
that the limited stock on hand was kept
for the use of the famous author. Then
the gentleman sent again and bade his
servant ask for the ice in the name Of
M. Dumas, The plan succeeded. Tho
ice was given, and the servant put down
the money on the counter. "Ah, cried
the tradesman, give me back that ice |!
Now I know that you are not from NJ.
Dumas. He never pays ready money" !"

"once told me that if he could portion

added: II should prefer to close my life
