Mr.. Collard was seen by a RECORD
UNION reporter last evening at the Capt.

ping, and asked concerning their mission
here at this time. Mr.. Collard replied
that they are here for the purpose of in
teryiewing the hop-growers of this section
IN regard to consignments OF the coming
crop.
II am free to confess, though" said he,
that the prospect of our handling any
| considerable quantity of California hops
this year is not very encouraging. You
see, we are pretty well stocked uD al
home, while the present supply here is
light and the prices in favor of the
holders"
What is the present outlook in Eng

We'll, it is too early to determine def
nltely: So far as we can tell, it is very
good, but the blight may come, and then
our home crop would be very short"
What places are you to visit on the

fields" he replied, "Mr. NoalSes and my
self shall go to Sonoma, then we shall re-
turn here and go north to Oregon and
Washington and visit the fields up there,
returning by the way of Canada and New
York"
ITO what hop growing districts in this
country do the English factors look
mostly for stocks to handle?'' asked the
reporter.
Sacramento and Sonoma chiefly" he
replied, although they raise a large
quantity in Washington Sacramento is
the best known. Tomorrow we are
going out to Daniel Flint's place, and
shall also visit the fields of others about

know, require dry climate in which to
mature, and here is where they ought to
reach their best condition. Why, nv
dear sir, If the people had but a weeks
such weather in England during the year
as we have enjoyed here to-day they
would think themselves blessed.
I'VE took ride out on your electric
cars to-day to the end of the road, and the
air out there was simply delightful. The
green helds about us, the wild flowers,
the clear blue sky-all served to make a
charming picture. You have a grand
country and climate out herep'
YES" replied the interviewer, "Cali-
fornians have a pretty good appreciation
OF these things, and because they are en-
thusiashc over them they are often ac-
cused of boasting.'
well, they have right to boast, for
there are few people so favored"
Tomorrow the visitors will depart for

Bleilnann said there was nothing in the

The Constable said he knew nothing
about that; the warrant had been made
out year or SO back, and the City Attor-

could.

Mr.. Lowell also owns Don Marvin, five

The Sultan stallion Kaffir is also one of
Mr.. Lowells late purchases. He was bred
by l.. j. Rose, of Los Angeles, and was
sired by his great young stallion Alcaza,.

FINDLEY'S FACE.
He Tells How Gang of Founders Did
TEeir Work on It.

TEefr Work on 1t.
1t was stated yesterday that hackman
named John Lynch had been arrested
for assaulting Edward Findley in the Eb-
ner House.
Findley presented himself at this office
last evening and said the assault did not
take place in the Elmer House, but on the
sidewalk near by. He said he dropped
into certain notorious saloon in that vi
yinity on Monday night, and saw Ed
Welch shaking dice with a baseball
player. he saw that the latter was being
swindled, and moving alongside pressed
his foot as bit of warning. This friendly
act was noticed, he said. by the bar
keeper and Welch, but nothing was said
about it, and the ball-player soon left the
saloon.
Findley's attention was next attracted
by stranger who was displaying a wal
let fllled with bank notes in the presence
OF a notorious female and some of the
FOUNDERS who hang about the place,
and again his sympathy for gullible
humanity overcame his better Judgment.
and he went up to him and advised him
to put his money back into his pocket
That settled the business for Mr.. Find
ley.
He left the place shortly after, and had
no sooner reached the sidewalk than
| Nelch and half dozen other toughs
jumped on and commenced beating him.
He ran back into the saloon, but he got
| no comfort there, the proprietor inform
ing him that he was no friend of his.
Again Findley sought the street and
made for the Elmer Hotel, where he
boards. The ruffians followed him, he
says, knocked him down, beat him and
then danced jig on his face.
His story was well borne out by his
appearance last evening. His face looked
as If four-hourse harrow had been
dragged across it.
Lynch was arrested, but Welch has not
been found, neither have any of the
others of Findley's assailants.
