A PARALYTlC VA0RANT
Constable OowIer Lands One In the County

Constable DowIer Lands Ono In the County
Jalls
Among the arrivals at the county iafi
yesterday was a vagrant from Newhall
named Mike Coplau. who was brought in
by Constable Dowler to serve ten days
on conviction of vagrancy. Usually such
cases present few points of interest, but
the one in point does. Coplau comes
from Newhall and claims to be French
Basque who can speak but little Eng
lish. He also poses as a paralytic who
has lost the use of his left arm, which
is carried in sling. Dowler was bring
Ing Coplau to the county pail and at
Saugus got off the train to get breakfast
leaving the cripple in the car While
he was bone Coplau skipped out, and
when Dowler got back the only word he
was able to get of his man was that the
last seen of him he was counting the
ties in the direction of Santa Barbara
in a hurry.
Jumping on the next train Dowler
rode as far as Camulos, where he got
off and took the back track. Soon he
spied his mSn, who at the same time
saw him. Coplau for cripple displayed
remarkable agilitl and disappeared in
the willows along the track in short or
der. Dowler hunted for him a long
time and fisally found him sitting on the
ground rolling cigarette with both
hands. Thus was the paralysis story
knocked out. Coplau was also paraylzed
momentarily by Dowlers sudden dis
appearance and made no further at
temptS to escape.

ing him, but driver who was present,
George H. Dolson by name. Then Wal
lace turned back and replaced the ham
mer and Dibble went and hung up the
telephone book and passed out of the
store.
He returned, however, in little while
and went about his duties. Just before
the fatal encounter took place Wallace
was standing in front of a wash basin
in the rear of the room and on the left
hand side. On each side of the wash
bowl or sink there were piled casks of
crockery extending to the back end of
the room. The men met once more here
and in some manner the dispute was re-
newed. Alfred Pearson, a clerk who was
working near by, said that Dibble ad-
dressed Wallace and told him he had
his opinion of a man who would threaten
another with hammer. Wallace imme-
diately flared up and said: If you say
another word about that hammer I'll
hit you
Dibble did say something, and Wal
lace, who was all along the aggressor
made rush at him and either pushed
or struck him. Then he turned again
toward the wash basin. At this juncture
Pearson heard Dbbe make some re-
mark containing a vile epithet, upon
hearing which Wallace rushed at him,
striking him repeatedly. Dibble held

up MS left arm to ward off the blows and
fetreated until he backed up against the
casks. Ut was then that the stabbing
was zone, three blows beng delivered in
quick succession. Wallace staggered
away few steps and fell into the arms
OF l. W. Head, who led him several feet
ana laid him on pile of straw on the
1oor. AS he did so Wallace remarked

last words that he uttered
"A telephone message was at once sent
TO the police station and the patrol wag-
on was sent down. Upon its arrival
Officer Ben Robbins arrested Dibhle as
ne stepped from the door and drove with
MN in his buggy to the police station.

later the wagon arrived with Wallace
on a stretcher and he was hurrjedlv
taken into the hospital. He was bevond

utes after he was brought in. The cor
oner was notified and ordered the BODY
removed to the undertaking rooms of
Hregelo d Bresee. where an inquest was
soon in progress.
The body was clothed only in trousers
and shirt, but when stripped the ehast-

one of them would have been sufficient to

Fearful Tragedy
Between 7:3o and 7:45 yesterday morn

Between 1870 and 7:45 yesterday morn

ware company, at Nos. 226 and 22S North
Los Angeles street. Horace b. Dibble.
travelling and city salesman for the
firm, fatally stabbed the shipping clerk
of the concern, j. F. Wallace, intlicting
wounds from the effects of which he
expired inside Of a few moments.
The men had come to work only few
moments before, but soon engaged in an
alteration over the fact, as claimed by
Wallace, that Dibble had improperly
entered the address of a firm in booking
an order which had caused him incon-
venience. Wallace said that DibbIe had
neglected to get the street numbers and
he could not tell where to deliver an
order. The discussion had arisen over
certain name which Wallace claimed
was incorrectly entered. Dibble stepped
into the Office near the middle of the
store, got the telephone book, and, re-
turning to where Wallace was, showed
him that the name had been written
correctly.
Wallace was standing behind the ship
ping desk on the left of the room near
the front and took especial umbrage
when he found he was in the wrong. Be-
coming suddenly white and furious he
reached down under his desk and grab
bed one of the heavy patent nail pull
ers which are used in all stores to open
packing cases. This caught in some
thing and could not be instantly releas-
ed. Then Wallace dropped it and
