He Posed as a Helminthologist
and Was Enriched By the
CredulouS.
SKILLED IN LEGERDEMAIN
Sufferers Made to Believe That They
Had Been Cured of Mythical
Ailments.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Feb. 25.-After two
years 0f continuances the charge Of prac-
tieing medicine without a license against
DR.. Luis Viscayo was dismissed by Judge
Lorigan this morning on motion of the
District Attorney, as it seemed impossible
10 secure a conviction.
Dr. Niscayo came to this city about two
years ago from Mexico. He hung out 6
gaudv sign with DR. Luis Viscayo Eel
minthologist, upon it, and for time
shekels rolled into his pockets, as he guar.
anteed a cure or no pay. The doctor wa:
something of legerdemainist, and after
giving his patients a dose of his cure all be
would produce variety of angleworms
and small reptiles and felicitate the patient
upon having severed relationship with the
collection. Some we're inclined to doubt
the doctors word, but a second treatment
and a second addition to the menagerie
convinced them that what he said must be
true.
Niscayo was finally arrested on CON-
plant OF George Bellamy, who alleged
tha. the doctor had procured $40 from his
wife on false pretenses. Mrs. Bellamy al
legged that Viscayo had treated her little

handful of angleworms and tried to con-
vince her they were miniature members ot
the Bothriocephalus family with which the
boy had parted company. The doctor had a
small gopher-snake and many were the
sufferers who gazed upon the reptile and
shuddered at the thought of the close
panionship it had forced upon them
until they had met the man of science
This snake was used Only in the case Of
rich patients, who usually paid handsome
fees, while their thankfulness lasted Fol
months the doctor gave entire satisfaction
in every case.
After Viscayo's arrest the State Medical
Society was very active in his prosecution
for practicing medicine without license
1t tried in every way to procure sufficient
evidence to convict and now, after tive
years OF delays, the case has been dis
missed. The doctor left town some time
ago and is evidently practicing legerde
main in greener pastures.

MARIN COUNTY CANDIDATES.

SAUSAL1TO, CAL, Feb. 25.-The poll
tical battle for Supervisor from the south
ern part of Marin County is assuming
rather peculiar aspect on account of the
unusually large number of asplrants for
the position. Even the political leaders
seem confused.
The incumbent, Jacob Gardner, says
that he is undecided whether to run again
or not, but he IS generally considered a
candidate for nomination.
Wheerler Martin, the postmaster at
Eastland, in Mill Valley, has expressed a
desire for the position. Commodore Har-
rison of Sausalito is a likely candidate
Mill Valley has another man in the per-
son of J. H. McInnes, formerly contrac-
tor in San Francisco.
Mr.. McLnnes has publicly stated that he
intends to place his name before the Re-
publican convention. In fact, the Repub-
means are the only ones IN the held thus
far, although A. Sylvia is believed to be the
choice of the few Democratic voters in the
southern part of the county.
The question of whether the school ap-
preparation should be raised sufficiently
TO keep the pu usfic schools open longer
than eight months ont of every twelve is
the main Issue upon which the fight is to
be made, although the question of good
roads is considered very important.
AS 10 Superior Judge there appears
to be no opposition to Frank NJ. Angelotti
He has occupied. the position OF District
Attorney for four years and that of Supe-
rior Judge for six years. The battle is be-
ing fought for the position of Supervisor,
and on account of the multiplicity OF
aspirants there is considerable feeling be-
ing shown.
