WILLIAM NIXON ALMOST BEATEN TO DEATH av POLICE.
MAN AND BARTENDER IN ALHAmsRA THEArgR-Hg RE.
SISTED ARREST

Joe Williams. the night bartender
at the Aihamhra. IL a brother Of
Jack Williams. the deputy sheriff
who was shot by Tracy at Batheil.
The thought that the d~esperado who
had so nearly murdered Jack might
appear at the Alhambra Mt any time
made him feel a trifie nervous. New
ertheiers he procured a big revolver
and waited.
Late Saturday night the man who
had acostcd the Wheeler woman on
the street strolled into the Aihambra
and took a seat by her side. Her
she saw him. bat with much pluck
she diverted his attention while she
gave Wiiliames the p-rearranged sig
nal that Tracy" had come.
Williams slipped quietly out into
the street and returned with Elan
uagan. Together the two approached
the unHuspecting man. one from the
front and the other from the rear.
When the policeman ordered him 10
hold up the stranger attempted TO
rise from his chair. Instantly the
officer struck him with his fist.
Then Williams mixed In.
When the place n cleared Il was
found that Nixon had all but been
beaten 20 a pulp. II win be some
time before he Is able 10 impersonatc
Tracy again. even II no law To pun
ish him for his practical Joking can
be found. The police will hold him
for a while anyway as a suspicious
character.
Nixon was given 10 days In
the chain gsng by Police Judge
George this afternoon. He said that
he must have been drunk when he
said he was Tracy. and claims TO
know nothing OF the matter.
