THE SnRGEON'S KNIFE

 Best Skill in All the Profession.

a-1tse
 One of the happiest men in Birming ham today is MT Walter Leyens, of Mon roe, La. MT. Leyens is a brother to Mesdanes Marcus and Ben Well and E. Bloch, of this city He came to this city some two months ago a very sick man. He had been unwell for about four months and the physicians had given up all hope of his recovery. His relatives endeavored to cheer him, and insisted that he allow pr. B. C.. Cope land, the popular surgeon of Birming- ham, to examine him. With little con- fidence, MT. Leyens agreed. Dr. Cope land pronounced the trouble abcess on the liver. The patient was informed of the danger of an operation, also that it was his only hope. He yielded to the surgeons knife and the liver was at first asperated and over quart of puss ex- tracted. An operation was afterwards performed and the abcess entirely re- moved. MT Leyens remained at the Hillman hospital for little more than a week and is now basking in the fresh air at the handsome home of his sister, Mr. at the handsome home of his sister, Mrs. Marcus Well, eating all he can lay hands on and says he feels like new man. He is so well pleased with Birmingham now that he has been saved from the grave by her expert physician. that he has about concluded to locate here.
 MT. Marcus Well, in ccnversa tion with a State Heraldyreporter yesterday. gave the above facts and expressed himself that such skill should be made known to the public that some similar sufferer might seek relief and be saved from an inevitable death

The Alaniz Contest

Some time ago the contest over the
will of Conception Alaniz resulted in a
verdict for the contestants, and such
finding seemed so utterly opposed to the
evidence that the defeated parties gave
notice of motion for new trial, in
tending to appeal the case if the motion
should be denied.
Yesterday, however, a stipulat tion was
file0 in court that new trial be granted
and the will be admitted to probate. The
difficulties, whatever they were, were
settled out of court and the contest is
now at an end.
IT, however, the will that was contest
ed had been broken previous will was
in existence identical with the last ore
save in a difference of executor. Mrs
A. Conception Rubio-W Warner is the ex =
ecutrix Of the present will and gave bond

open adultery. The eight children were
awarded to the wife.
Some time ago Ella Burns file6 her
complaint in divorce against A. j.

THE LIVINGSTON CASE
A Quick Ruling by the Supreme
Court

The first decision of Judge Aliens that
has been appealed to the supreme court
has resulted in confirmation Of his de-
csion.
The case was painfully sad one, and
NJ A. Livingston the novel point in
volved was whether a wife must sup
port her husband If he no longer can DO
so himself. In this case the couple re-
sided at Pasadena, and the husband
was over SO years of age. The couple
had lived happily together until
his wife's daughter by a former mar
riage came to live with them. Then the
trouble began as the stepdaughter at
once took the whip in hand, induced her
mother to have her husband examined
for insanity, and made his life burden
in every way. He was weak and sick,
needing a nuree, but he was so neglected
that neighbor took pity on him and
brought him back to health. When he
had recovered he went home again, but
was ordered to occupy an outside room
and the quarrel as to where he would
sleep finally drove him away again.
Judge Allen decided that a husband
who is thus driven from his home and is
without means of support and cannot
work on account Of infirmity, can main
tain an action against his wife for a
reasonable allowance out of her separate
property.
The case was appealed, and the de-
cision awarding $24 a month for the old
mans support was sustained.
! Yesterday morning he came into cour.
by his attorneys and gave notice that
| he will apply for an increase of this
allowance The hearing will occur on
| the 18th inst.

FUMIGATION INDEBTEDNESS
Twenty Nine Suits to Recover Begun
by the District Attorney

The old question whether the orchard
lists throughout the country who have
had their orchards and groves fumigated
commissioner can be made to pay their
back debts or not for such service is
being taken up by the district attorneys
office.
Under the old law, all the indebted
ness contracted by fruit grower for
fumigation was considered lien
against the property but the law failed
to provide any mode by which the lien
could be enforced. In suing to recover
on a note man upon winning judgment
has il declared lien against the mort
gagged property given to secure payment,
but the horticultural commissioners
were face to face with an altogether diff
ferent state of affairs. Suit could, it is
true, have been brought against the in
dividual grower, but upon the case COM
ing to trial it might be found that the
property was heavily mortgage0 or had,
perhaps, changed hands, and the courts
could not in such case declare the sum,
whatever 1t might be, lien against the
property.
With the passage of the new county
government act these difficulties were
obviated, and the deputy district attor-
ney has instituted suit against twenty
nine orchardists and growers through
out the county for amounts cue. In
1895 the county expended the sum of
$6602.22 for fumigation, and now the at
tempt is being made to recover al least
a portion of this money for some of it
probably will never be recovered. The
delinquents who are now being proceed
ed against are as follows:
Joseph B. Pearce. Francis England
J. ]. Tweedy and Cyrus Brown, all of
Downey.
w. Wood, Silas B. Root, W. D. Spen-
GER, Moses A. Abbott, Tracy Abbott, the
