sEARcEY WILL HANG
Appeal to the Supreme Court Was Of
No Avail

No Avail
SAN BERNARDINO, July 16.-After
spending sixteen months In San Quentin
awaiting the action of the supreme court,
Louis James Seaxcey was brought back
here and again sentenced to be hung. He
was brought up in Department one this
morning, and for the second time Judge
F. F. Oster repeated the solemn and i'm
pressive words that will this time bring
the prisoner upon the scaffold, on Friday,
October Z. 1898.
The crime for which Searcey must offer
his life in expiation was committed IN
December. 1896, and the victim was
German named Joseph Otto. The crime
took place near Bagdad, the two being
tramps who were coming westward on the
Santa Fe Pacific. The evidence was all
circumstantial, the principal link being
the finding Of some money hidden by the
murderer In closet, the murderer having
but $1.59 on him when he was taken. The
latter had committed burglary In Ari-
iona, and was supposed to be escaping to
the westward, but when taken was max
ing his way east again, living turned back
after committing the crime. His at
torneys, the two youngest members of
the bar, Messrs. B. F. Bledsoe and Cor
don Hall, made most determined effort
to save their client. carrying the case up
to the supreme court at their own expense,
as there was no fee in the case. The az
cused was found guilty, and on April 5,
1897, he was sentenced to be hanged on
Friday, June Is. 1897, the appeal pro-
longing his life little over year. Scar
cey seems to take the matter very coolly,
quietly protesting his complete innocence
Of the crime for which he Is to hang.

One Of the leading walnut growers Of
Plaoentia writes as follows to The Herald
correspondence bureau: IAN agent of the
company which has contracted to handle
the walnut crop of the Fullerton assOcia-
ton was here few days ago. He pro-
duced number Of clippings from eastern
papers, said to have been sent from San
Francisco. giving to the prospect for the
nut crop for this year a gloomy outlook,
saying that the trees were covered with
smut, honey-dew and aphis; that the
crop would be enormous and inferior.
Steps were at once taken to put correct
information In an eastern fruit growers
journal. The walnut trees Of Southern
California are in perfectly healthy con-
dtion. and are good and full, but not ex-
cessive. Last year the California crop
was about AS carloads, and there were
S25 carloads of imported nuts, making
$50 cars Of ten tons each consumed In
America. A careful estimate does not
reveal over $50 cars, leaving 200 carloads
more or less than was consumed last
year. The walnut growers associations
throughout Southern California have
formed an agreement to fix prices and
maintain them. The price will not be
fixed for at least two months yet, but will
be so. low that no foreign nuts can get
into the United States so long there Is a
bag OF California nuts to be had. 1t is
Of the greatest importance that walnut
dealers should know how matters stand,
therefore correct information has been
sent out from Fullerton.

A PATIENT TESTIFIES
Sound Advice
For AiIlng People

II you have suffered for weeks, months
or years, or II you are in constant dread of
symptom that threatens to wreck your
health or endanger your life, it is because
you have not taken treatment from the
right physicians-the English and German
Expert Specialists, '"The Doctors That
Cure" If your physical condition needs
medical assistance it is to your interest to
consult these able specialists at once. II
you are ailing slightly they will remove the
cause of the symptom, check the danger
that threatens you and you will be we'll.
If you are afflicted with any of the ailments
in the list given below their advice and
skill are all the more necessary. Place your
self in their hands and they will quickly
and permanently restore you to perfect
health.
The staff of the English and German Ex-
pert Specialists is composed of five doctors.
They are all able specialists, graduates from
the best medical colleges in the world and
are as near perfect in their methods Of
treating people as natural ability, years of
constant practice, ample equipment and
superior remedies can make them. They
all consult when cure is undertaken, with
out extra charge. After the case is thor
oughly diagnosed the doctors who are
most familiar with the ailment take the
patient in hand and put forth their best
efforts until speedy and a permanent
cure is effected.
Although the English and German Expert
Specialists make many wonderful cures and
are recognized as the leading physicians on
the Pacific Coast with an extensive and
growing practice, they do not charge sx-
orbitant prices and always make terms to
suit the financial condition of their patrons.
They have adhered strictly to the rule of
never treating incurable cases. If the dis
ease is beyond all earthly aid the sufferer
will be so informed, and without charge.
The remedies used by the English and Ger
man Expert Specialists are the most effect
i've known. No deadly minerals or other
poisonous drugs are ever dispensed, moth
ing being used but the extracts of barkS,
buds, berries, roots, gums, leaves, flowers
and herbs
These able specialists have large means
to operate with (they are incorporated for
S25o,Ooo) and do not spare money in buy
ing remedies, appliances and the necessary
apparatus to properly and successfully con-
duct their institution. Their one aim in
life is to cure their patients.
