Fresno,s Raisin Crop.

Hon. W. D. Grady. lawyer. politician and
vineyardist. of Fresno. is at the Baldwin.
In an interview yesterday Mr.. Grady
said that the raisin crop from his
county would not probably be as large
nor of as good quality as last year. Nearly
all the large growers of raisins had the
biggest part Of their grapes picked and in
trays on the ground when the hard rains
occurred last week, and the damage will not
be fully apparent until the crop reaches
market. A great effort has been made by
middlemen to circulate reports of large
European crops and immense left over
stocks in Eastern markets for the purpose
of depreciating prices to be offered to the
Fresno grower But the fact is that there
will be small yield of strictly frst-class
raisins in that county this year. and growers
who were fortunate to save their grapes
from damage by rain will realize a fair value
for them. If attempts are made to force on
the market raistns that have been badly
cured and damaged through rains, the re-
suit will be to lower the high standard OF
Fresno County raisins that it has been the
aim of most of the growers to maintain.

Collector Douglicrty Shows His Street
Books--Not "A Flattering Exhibit of
Tax Paying by Citizens.
Business was quite brisk at the county
tax office Monday. An unusually
large number of taxpayers visited the
office and paid what has been due by
them since the beginning of this fiscal
year.
Collector Dougherty in reply to the
question as to whether he had applied
any of the tax balances in his hands to
private purposes denied having done so.
Collector Mckee makes similar denial
Upon being asked why more money
had not been collected Mr.. Dougherty
took from his desk two yellow leather
covered pass books.
"These," the collector said, fare what
we call street books. The names of all
county tax payers are arranged here by
streets of course for convenience in col
Letting"
Now just look at those pages. The
line drawn through names indicates
that those people or firms have paid
their taxes. OF course you must not
mention names. That would not do.
But You can see for yourself the miser-
ably small share of business men, firms
and private individuals who have paid
their taxes"
The reporter took up the books, one
after the other, scanning the pages. 1t
was, without exaggeration, literally
amazing the number of respectable citi-
zens who undoubtedly ought to have
paid their taxes by this time but who
have put it off.
As stated, names dare not be men
toned. The books, however, show
about u or 10 names to the page. They
don't average four names lined out.
In some instances, whole pages show
not single name paid.
Have you requested payment from
these people?" the reporter inquired.
"Oh, yes" Collector Dougherty re-
piled smiling, in some cases have sent
around personally three or four times"
just at that moment a tax office mes
senger returned from his rounds. His
report to the collector was made in the
presence of the reporter. Its nature was
that the people called on declined pay
ing ut the time. The messenger was in
structed to inform the tax debtors that
payment must be made at a certain date
or the law would have to be enforced.
Collector Dougherty informed the re-
porter that by far the larger share Of re-
liable people have not paid their taxes.

COLLECTOR M'KEE's FIGURES.
Collector Mckee was absent Monday
morning, but ii was ascertained from his
| clerk that the total amount to be collected
by him for 1890 is $4S.s10T1, which in
cludes errors and everything else. This
| is according to the duplicates.
The total for the two collectors for
1890 is therefore $110,4s5.1 and not as
stated by morning newspaper $l42, 065.
Collector McKee's clerk could not
state anything definite in regard to what

understood that at least between $4,000
and $4,000 had been paid, very prob
ably more.
In regard to the time when the col
lectors are required TO pay over the tax
collections to the county treasurer, sec
:
''Every collector shall pay to the county
treasurer the county tax as follows;
One third part by the first day of July;
one third part by the first day of Octo-

commissions and delinquencies, by the

of it as bankrupt; rather ii is in con-

porary lack of receipts. the assets are
good; the bonds of all the sureties, he
regarded as good for all outstanding de-
ticits, so that that the county is in no
danger of losing anything. 1t was well
to have it understood, however, that col
lectors must collect and taxpayers must
pay. The clerk of the peace on Satur-
day mailed to all the collectors and their
sureties notification to pony up, said
notification being copy of the levy
court resolution. Mr.. Hannah will do
precisely what he has been directed by
the levy court to do. If the collectors
do not square up, he will have execu-
tions issued on their bonds. Then, the
law provides, their sureties may take
hold Of the matter and do their own
collecting.
1t was learned that Mr.. Hannah holds
note for $4,000, made out by two of

was pressed upon him as collateral,
but which he does not regard as cash

SIeet--Railroad Trains Delayed,
About noon Friday the storm of snow
and sleet that ragged fiercely all morning
turned to rain, which froze as it fell,
covering everything with glazing of
ice.
Through trains on all the railroads
We're from Is to 40 minutes late. There
are no drifts of any depth, the roads
being comparatively clear. The delay
has been caused by waits for connec-
tons and by inability to make the
schedvle time on account of the snow.
The p, w. & B. railroad ran sweeper
through the city, which cleared the
track of all snow. A large gang of men
cleared off the platforms at the French
street station. The snow was thrown
on train of flat cars and taken away.
Switches and crossings were carefully
cleaned out on all the roads.
The storm extended southwark
through the State and into Maryland.
Six inches of snow fell in Sussex
county, but before daybreak on Friday
morning rain set in.

being quite dark the young lady plunged
into the cellarway, falling distance Of
10 or IL feet. Her forehead came in
contact with the side of the doorway
and it was cut through to the skull
nearly the entire width. She was also
badly bruised and cut otherwise and
sustained severe internal injuries. 1t is
probable that action will be brought
against the tenants of the property to
recover damages resulting from this act

details of the surrender of Big Foot's
band as follows: Sunday morning
dawned bright and warm as a summers
day. Every one Of the soldiers had
his overcoat off and was talking
weather. The is Indian scouts had
been gone two days and no word from
them. Little Battle started out at day.
break and at 1870 was seen dashing
over the ridge for camp waving his hat.
In few minutes he was at Major
Whiteside's quarters with the good
news that Big Foot was only eight miles
away. Boots and saddles were sounded,
and if ever lot of men got out of camp
in hurry it was the veterans
of the Seventh. In few moments they
were hurrying over the ridge eastward
toward Porcupine Butte. Passing that
they turned north and east descending
the slope to the Porcupine valley where
they soon found Big Foot's band drawn
up in line like soldiers and apparently
ready for battle.
There were over $50 warlike bucks.
heavily armed, facing the cavalry that
they met last in 1876 on the Little Big
Horn. One shot from any source and a
tragedy would go over the wires, but
Big Foot advanced from his side, and
Major Whiteside from the boys in blue.
Big Foot started in for long talk on
how weary he was of running around,
and said he wanted to open his heart to
the chief of the soldiers. Whiteside was
there, however, for business, not talk,
and said that he must surrender or fight.
Like magic, up went a flag of truce, hand
Big Foot surrendered his band of over
150 warriors and $50 women and chill
dren.
The prisoners were marched over to
the old camp on Wounded Knee. The
battalion have surrounded the Indian
camp and will keep vigilant guard over
them until more troops arrive. The
prisoners include the Sitting Bull gang
that fled after their chiefs death, Scouts
just in report that Short Bull and his
braves are on their way to the agency
