Constable John Fraser is willing to admit that an inoffensive-looking peg-leg is a mighty dangerous weapon, states a Canadian paper. The officer halted a one-legged man who was molesting pedestrians in a Vancouver street and told him to go home.

The cripple finally landed in a cell at headquarters, but Constable Fraser was left nursing two cracked teeth, two others loosened, an injured left hand, and wondering who was going to pay for repairing his damaged watch.
