DOUBTLESS il will surprise many to
learn that the nursery or floral interests
IN the uitCd States now reach value
of nearly So 600. 600 and claim an en-
pire of over 10000 acres In the last
ten years the popular love for flowers
has grown % a remarkable extent. Its
significance is more apparent when we
remember that prior TO 1909 there were
but two nurseries in the United States.
One of these was in New York, the
other in Connecticut While there is
nothing in the United states like the
flower market in Convent Garden. the

SERIOUS CHARGES.

rafGns Sheriff Stanley.
The insolvent stockholders of the CO.
lumbus Brewing Company have pre-
ferred rather serious charges against
Sheriff Stanley.
The Sheriff was appointed assignee OF
the company when it went into insol-
vency, and recently filed his report with
the court. The company now takes ex-
ceptions to the report, and not only that,
but charges that the Sheritf's report con-
tanned false entries.
The lnsolyents specify that one certain
entry IN the report, to the effect that the
assignee employed John Lambert TO write
letters to the company's debtors, is un-
true, and that the Sheriff has unlawfully
charged for Lalnbert's services. Further
than this, they charge that Mr.. Stanley
mismanaged the estate and ignored the
interests Of the insolvent and its creditors
and failed to prosecute and collect out
standing accounts and bills. Also, that
the assignee did not employ attorneys as
charged for and reported, and that vari-
Gus charges were wrongfully made.
The insolVents have embodied all OF
these objections in formal complaint
and hled them with the court.

terIaIIy.
William Bronstrup, the individual who
was arrested in San Jose and brought
back to this city on a warrant charging
him with not paying his board bill to
Mrs. Nicholas, was tried before Justice OF
the Peace Henry yesterday.
1t was shown that Mrs. Nicholas was a
widow and could not afford the loss; that
Bronstrup had gone away without any
warning and with intent to defraud her,
and that this was not the first time a
landlady had suffered at his hands.
1t was shown for the defense, on the
other hand, that Bronstrup could not
have paid his bill had he so desired, be-
cause he had nothing; that he had sent
word to Mrs. Nicholas that he would pay
her when he returned to Sacramento.
de declared vehemently that lie had no
intention of detrauding the lady.
Judge Henry, however, believed that
Bronstrup skipped" with intent to de-
fraud. BE thought it very unmanly to
rob poor widow who was endeavoring
to support herself and family, and found
the defendant guilty.
Bronstrup announced himself ready to
take his sentence then and there, and the
Justice fined him SEQ, with the usual al
Tentative of spending thirty days in the

posed of twenty-three Chinese high
binders were marshaled into the little

''fends" and cousins" filled the place
almost to sutfocation. These Were por-
tion of the troops engaged in the muir
derous and heathenish encounter of Tues
day night. Attorney c. Z. Jones appeared
in behalf of the horde.
Up to this time no formal charge has
been filed against any Of the Chinese, and
although number of them when taken
in were loaded down with firearms and
knives OF the most approved and muir
derous patterns, it is not likely that in

a number of them, when arrested by
the officers, were in the midst of the dis
turbance, some had murderous reyolvers
half-emptied of loads which had just been
fired, some had their clothing half torn

citement; the innocent and guilty were
gathered in together.
Whatever redeeming traits some NAV
see in these pagans under other condi-
uons, the Chinese as they were mustered
yesterday in the Police Court presented
not one redeeming quality, but were
