PASADENA, Dec. GA daring at
tempt of a maniac to slay a police Of
ficer while the latter was sitting alone
in the police station and without any
means of protecting himself, was frus-
trated early yesterday morning by the
unexpected arrival of Sergeant Longley.
Had it not been for the coming of this
officer 1t is probable Desk Sergeant
Louis O'Dell would have lost his life,
as he was nearly exhausted from his
fight with the mad man.
Sergeant O'Deli was sitting at his desk
in the station when nervous cough
prompted him to look around. But a
few feet from him stood man. who has
since been identified as p. G. Carter,
commonly known as 'Indian Joe."
In each hand the man carried large
stone, and one of these he raised above
his head in threatening manner.
at have Just killed one man who tried
to kill me, and now you must CO." he
said, at the same moment drawing back
his hand as if to hurl the stone.
In a second O'Dell sprang from his
chair and grappled with the maniac.
Back and forth across the station floor
they fought, the sergeant gradually CIV
ing way before the insane strength OF
his foe.
A few more seconds and he would have
been within the power of his enemy,
when Sergeant Longley entered the sta
ton. A quick glance showed him what
was going on, and without hesitation he
sprang to his brother policeman's aid.
With his assistance O'Dell was soon able
to overpower the maniac, and he was Leo
away to a cell.
Later in the day it was learned the
man had engaged lodgings at nearby
rooming house, and had fallen down the
stairs short time previously.
He had left the place without his
shoes, this allowed him to enter the sta
ton so quietly the sergeant did not hear
him.
Late yesterday afternoon the man was
taken to the county hospital where he
will be examined by physicians.

POMONA. Dec. 29.-"Our prophecy on
the streets of Glendora, Azusa and Covina
has come true; in fact, the petition for
a solid block has been signed by about
40 per cent, leaving Spadra, San Dimas
and La Verne the right to speak for
themselves. The war, then, being over,
If we are to live together let us remem-
Der that our Saviour came to bring peace
on earth. SO let us have peace,
In these words A. p. Griffith Of Azusa
declines to engage in a public debate on
the county division question with DIR. r.
p. Shepherd. Some weeks ago Shepherd
challenged Griffith and Griffith accepted,
stating that he would name the time ana
place at an early hour. This is his an
Swer.
This debate has been heraded for miles
around, and great interest aroused OF
certainty it would have proved the star
card of the campaign, and hundreds are
disappointed that it will not be played.
Adherents of the division movement have
long banked on this splendid opportunity
to match the strength and merit OF their
cause against the weakness and demerit
of that of the antis. Consequently they
deeply regret Griffith's refusal
Anti leaders are confident Shepherd
would have torn his opponent to pieces
and are CAD the affair has been called
on. On the other hand they perceive
the effect of such a refusal and are very
sorry Griffith ever accepted.
DR.. Shepherd brings back a most en-
couraging report from Covina, where ne
went last night to confer with his lieu
tenants. Last night Mr.. Griffith was not
prophesying on the streets of Covina, and
there was peace.
Right in the heart of that "solid block"
DIR. Shepherd offered to meet Mr.. Griffith.
Anywhere, any time, he added would be
satisfactory. Surrey the ants, by the
sheer force of numbers. could maintain
peace in such stronghold. But no.

forced against our wills) to make in de-
tending our firesides from the aggres-
