SANTA ANA, Oct. I5.-Sam Finley was
again up before Judge Marks, today, on
a charge of assault to murder. After
hearing the evidence and arguments of
counsel, Judge Marks held the defend
ant to answer before the superior court,
with bail in the sum of $500, which the
defendant gave.
HELD OVER.
j. F. Robinson, the hose thief. was
before Judge Freeman this afternoon to
answer to the charge of Jail breaking.
dudley Dutherow, who occupied The
jail while Robinson was prisoner, told
how the defendant dug the hole through
the brick wall of the county Jail, and
how he and Robinson went out. The
defendant did not testify, and Judge
Freeman held him over to appear before
the superior court, with bail fixed at
$1,000. Of course the slick culprit could
not give the required bail.
ROUGH ON BOWERS.
Rev. Collins, of Los Angeles, is speak
ing in every town and hamlet in this
county in the interests of the Prohibi-
tionists, and his meetings are largely
attended. He is working against Bro.
VIM. Bowers, Republican candidate for
congress, and has stack of affidavits
detrimental to the San Diegan's char
acter. The fearless preacher from the
Angel city dips right into the congress-
man, and says ne is n. o. from the
ground up. He is also plying his tongue
with much effect against couple of
Orange county Republicans whom he
says have not the courage of their own
convictions. The gentleman speaks in
Santa Ana Monday and Tuesday nights.
and his meetings will, no doubt, be
largely attended, for they are always in
teresting-exceptt to Republicans.
THE NUT CROP.
The growing of nuts is an important
industry in this county. In conversa-
ton with George w. Ford, a large
grower of walnuts in this vicinity, the
gentleman informed the HERALD repre-
sentative that the crop of this salable
nut was large this year, and was now
being gathered. He estimated the
value OF the walnuts produced here this
year, at not less than $4,000. A large
acreage planted to walnuts has not vet
come into bearing, and it is safe to say
that next year the value of the crop
will double that of this season.
Peanuts are now being dug, and at
least 200 tons will be shipped out of the
county this season.
HE CAUGHT ONE.
John Albert is the name of the latest
fraud that has worked Santa Ana sails
under, and he is pretty slick individ-
ual. 1t seems that the fellow has been
trying to work the old check scheme,
and at last succeeded. He endeavored
in several stores to purchase goods, paw
| ing for them by check, and receiving
the difference in cash. He found some
difficulty in making the scheme work,
but at last caught 1. D. Mills, who, after
selling him some second hand furniture,
took as his pay $2l spurious check,
paying the difference between the pur-
chase price of the goods and the face
value OF the check in cash. Alberts has
skipped, and Mr.. Mills is at least one
man who would like to know where.
BREvITIEs.
The race track will be put in fine
shape for the Silkwood- Our Dick race.
Next season will see great revival in
sporting circles here. An excellent base
ball club will be organized, and also a

fine wheelmen and good roads, and

should not be organized. Every year
sees the interest in the raising of fine
bases increase in this county, and by the
ct nf v,oa 1 L

state. Santa Ana also has the distinc-
