THREE BAD NEGROES
The Fellows Who Assaulted Bertrand
Are All Captured
The Episode Bears Some Suggestive
Resemblance to the Fatal Clubbing
That Happened the Night Before

The third member of very bad trio
or colored men was arrested last evening
by Detective Hawley and locked up in
| the city Jail, charged with battery. The
fellow gives his name as e. Robinson,
and there is trouble ahead for him as
| we'll as for his two companions, Cy Rob-
inson and George Ford, who were yes
terday found guilty by Justice Morrison
on the charge of battery upon ]. F. Ber-
| trand.
The case, which was briefly referred to
in The Herald yesterday, was an aggra-
waited one. Bertrand last Sunday even
ing was returning home from church
When he was at the corner of Second
street and Stevenson avenue he met the
three colored men. He stepped to one
side to allow the fellows to pass, and as
he did so one of them gave him a hard
kick on the shins. The second man then
struck Bertrand and knocked him down,
and when the young man was trying to
rise the third black fellow hit him over
the back of the head with wine bottle.
Bertrand made some show of defend
, ing himself with his pocket knife and
succeeded in cutting the arm of one of
his assailants, but he would have been
done up by them had not a woman just
then appeared upon the scene and the
black fellows took fright and fled.
Two of the fellows were arrested at
once and in Justice Morrisons court
Thursday pleaded guilty and urged the
judge to hurry and pass sentence upon
them. These two Cy Robinson and
George Ford were looked upon with such
suspicion that sentence upon them was
deferred until a later day.
In the meantime search was being
made for the third negro and he was not
found until last evening.
The fact that this assault was commit
ted so near the scene of the murder of
Bellew the night before and it bore so
much similarity to what is supposed to
have been enacted at that tragedy, led
the detectives to suspect the negroes
had participated in the killing. This idea
is not yet wholly dissipated and the mat
ter will be sifted to the bottom.

AT THE THEATERS

LOS ANGELES THEATER.-This af-
ternoon and tonight will afford the last
chances to see the Old Homestead. All
reverence to the Old Homestead. Some,
or much of it. is a fond part of every
city mans life. That part is a sweet
and grateful recollection, and often is
the retrospection as fearful and tender.
Human feeling has been taken from hu-
man hearts to make the Old Homestead.
and it is play that will always remain
popular.
ORPHEUM.-A continuous round of
| new specialties, forming in reality a
| double program of drama and vaude-
vile, is offered at this popular house
| at the two performances today. A
| French Marriage is the title of the
| sparkling comedietta, and the artists
| who render it are Edmond Hayes, Emily
Lytton and Walter Hayes, who former
| ly ranked among the stars of the legit-
mate stage. The remainder of the bill
embraces a great variety of excellent
vaudeville turns. The regular matinee
| will be given this afternoon.
| BURBANK-Perhap one of the most
unique and original ideas that has yet
been evolved in local theatrical circles
will be introduced today by Manager
| 1edTSON DIT lDe buTDdEk. III TACT, we
| believe the idea is absolutely original
with that gentleman. For the first time
| in theatrical annals this enterprsine
manager proposes to give a matinee per-
| formance in the morning. His reason foi
so doing is apparently a well founded
one. as there has been such a demand
| for seats for the regular afternoon per-
| formance of Uncle Toms Cabin thai
| there are but few seats left. AS a conse-
| ManDopr n

BULLETINS lib AND LA

The Herald agricultural editor is in
receipt of two bulletins in one mail from
the University Agricultural college
two bulletins in one mail. Evidently
The Herald is rafting the dry bones in
the valley of the Agricultural college.
No. 113 is on California walnuts, al
nfonds and chestnuts. From a casual
glance al this bulletin the "chestnuts"
would seem to refer to the same old
gag that Prof. Hilgard has been work.
ing off on a confiding and tax paying
public in regard to fertilizers, for it
says: Thus it appears that when nu:
orchards need fertilizers the first call
will ordinarily be for those rich in nitro
gen; the more so as California soils are
not usually highly supplied with this
valuable ingredient AS phosphoric acid
is almost always in limited supply in the
soils of the state, it seems that phos-
phatic fertilizers will be demanded by
most orchards, but this need will not
probably arise as soon for them as for
the prune and apricot orchards
Just what value such a conglomerate
statement will be to the rancher rails
ing prunes or apricots does not appear;
but we had forgotten, we meant to say
just what value such statements viii
be to the hop or peach rancher-no
we don't mean that either-wait until
we look at the title of this bulletin.
Oh, it is on chestnuts, and walnuts, and
almonds-well, it's all the same. Any
advice given from Berkeley in this vital
matter of bettering crops is always the
same-no variation. The crop contains
SO and so much of such and such ingre-
dents. The first thing to replace is
nitrogen, the next is phosphoric acid,
and last is potash, but this latter is so
far off that you need not trouble your
self with any such thoughts yet"
The mere matter of detail as how
much of these different elements to add
at fr-Gf nv a md ,t.o = ! 1;,,I.
add them or how best to grow these
crops is never touched upon or such a
matter as the forms in which these ele-
ments are best suited to the crops are
left entirely to the taxpayer to find out
for himself-well, why should great dl-
rector from beyond the sea trouble
himself with such minor details. 1t is
unreasonable to ask It,
The bulletin contains receipt for
Bleaching of Nuts by Dipping 1t is the
same receipt that Prof Hilgard gave be-
fore the Horticultural society in the
Mills building in San Francisco some
year and a half ago and al that time
was pretty generally "paraded, in the
papers" The only objection The Herald
can take to this part of the bulletin is
its name; it should be entitled: "Prof.
Hilgard's Receipt for Bleaching of Nuts
cid"
About the only matter of value in the
bulletin is the analysis of the nuts:
but the comments on these are so
mixed up that they are of little use
We would advise our readers who are
anxious to gain information about the
walnut and almond to send to Secretary
B. M. Lelong of the state board of hor-
ticulture at Sacramento for his bulletins
on these nuts, and we can assure them
that they will be we'll repaid for so
doing.

A SENSELESS AND MISLEADING

is not only misleading, but when prac9
ticed for deception is absolutely dis
honest. There are a number of berries

The editor of the Herald, commenting
on this and other similar letters which he
has received, says:
Is 1t possible that we are deceived in
Debs. Has he no history written deep in
blood and fire and riot, and the terrori-
zing of women and children, and the bus
mess paralysis of great city? When did
this leopard change his spots? Is the late
president of the infamous American Rail
way Union, who suffered too short term
in Jail to expiate his crimes against the
social order, any worthier of trust because
he poses as the leader of the so-called so
cial Democracy" with schemes for uplift-
are selfish? The uninformed people may
be misled by his absurdities-unless our
preachers warn them and teach them safe
and righteous methods for their better
ment. If our preachers are themselves
deluded, and forget themselves SO far as
to pose as apologists for such anarchists as
Debs, Heaven help the people
Probably the truth about Debs is that
he is an impracticable schemer, and not
a bad man. But endorsements of him
and his plans from high sources, es-
pecially from clergymen, do harm in two
directions: They encourage him to in
vent new schemes and they are liable to
give him a standing and influence which
man so lacking in sense and discretion
as he is ought not to have.
