CARTER'S SOUND BROKEN LEG
Imagination Runs Riot and Breaks Un.
broken Bones
A Receiving Hospital Case Which Ended In
Nothing but Q Bunk Behind
the Bars

A lurid atmosphere hung around the
police station during a portion of last
evening and the tempers of some of the
officers were sadly ruff1ed, all owing
to the fact that a man supposed to be
badly injured turned out not to have
sustained even scratched skin, but had
been hauled in from away out on Sixth
street beyond Pearl on stretcher, under
the impression that one of his legs was
broken.
Shortly after o'clock message was
received at the station saying that a
man was badly injured and the wagon
was needed at once to convey him to
the hospital. After a long drive the spot
was reached and in the kitchen of the
residence of Mrs. Rawson, Chas E.
Carter was found tenderly nursing the
supposed-to-be fractured limb. He
stated in liquor befuddled voice that
he had started out for Azusa on horse
back, but that the animal had reared
and thrown him at the corner of Sixth
and Pearl streets, falling upon his right
leg.
He was sure that he had compound
fracture of the thigh and had tied piece
of wire about his limb, but for what pur-
pose could not be ascertained. Garter
groaned in agony as he was carried to
the stretcher and hurried to the receiV-
ing hospital, where DR.. Hagan was in
waiting. On being placed on the oper-
ating table Carter at first specified that
portion of his leg between the knee and
ankle as injured. but as nothing could
be found by the surgeon, he changed his
mind and said the trouble lay in the knee.
Satisfying himself that nothing was
the matter with the fellow, his leg be-
ing perfectly sound and not even scratch
ed, he was yanked off the table and with
out ceremony given bunk behind the
bars for the night.
Some months ago a somewhat similar
experience was had by the police with
the same fellow. At that time Garter
was engaged with the Mrs RaWson, in
whose house he was found, in conduct
ing small restaurant on Temple street.
one night a hurry call came for the
wagon, it being reported that a man
was dying on Temple street. In the rear
of the restaurant Garter was found suf-
fering from pains in his stomach, and
the supposition was that perhape he had
taken poison. Seeing nothing apparent
ly the matter the wagon returned to the
station, but was recalled within a few
minutes, it being reported that Carter
was nearly dead.
On the second trip he was taken to
the hospital, where DIR. Bryant. then po-
lice surgeon, diagnosed his case as plain
stomach ache, coupled with too much
liquor. Carter has apparently about as
much grit as an oyster and imagines
whenever he stubs his toe that death is
hot-footed on his track, but if all his
ailments are no more serious than the
compound fracture" of his thigh he
will undoubtedly live to ripe old age.

A FAMILY AFFAIR
An Alleged Wife Beater Arrested on Lc

Just as the night watch of police were
going on duty last evening at 7:45 a tel
ephone message was received asking that
an officer be sent to house on Los An
geles street near Second. where a drunk
en- man was beating his wife. PATROL
man Dyke went to the scene, but on ar
rival found everything quiet. He raped
at the door, entered and found jams $
Smith who. it was said, had been the
prime factor in all the trouble.
Smith strenuously denied having made
any disturbance or that he had struck
his wife, but was evidently under the
influence of liquor. After he had been
placed under arrest he got into wordy
war with several women, who accosted
him in the front yard. and was finally
sent in to sober up and incidentally an
swer today in the police court for dis
turbing the peace.

send a message to the council TO that
effect on Monday. At this time COM
mittee of the board will be present to
state their case, and should the council
persist in its attempt to curtail the
powers of the board by passing the or

the possibilities that the members may
resign in a body.
