Notwithstanding the fact that
Deputy Constable Black OF Oakland,
Cal, has for come time past been
making business OF arresting the
many tramps that infest ths neighbOr-
hood OF the old Melrose smelling
works, he has come to the conclusion
that there nre some good trampe. He
has reason to form such an opinion, for
- two members OF that fraternity he
owes bis life. A few nights ago Black
arrested four tTamps near Melrose.
When the company In charge of the
officer were getting over fence, two
OF the men under arrest escaped.
Black carried a long bowie.kniie in
his belt, and when he darted under
The fence In pursuit OF his men, the
blade penetrated ME leg and severed
On artery. The remaining trsmps
realized that Black was badly injured,
and that help must be secured At once
In order to prevent his bleeding to
death. They saw train approaching
and attempted toastOp 1t by waving an
overcoat, but the irainmen did not
heed their signals. Another train hove
Ia sight, and this time the tramps sue
ceeded Ia getting the trainluen TO stop
AMI take the injured constable aboard.
While they were waiting for the train
they managed, by tying hsnuker-
chief tightly above the wound, to stop
the HOW OF blood. When the train
reachet Ffuilvale, Black was taken
oil and escorted to his home by one o I
the iramps, while the other went In
search OF medical assistance.
