end as far as he was concerned, and
then borrowed the money from Wolf
& Son on contract for the money for
the rent and harvesting of the crop.
Next was filed the answer of the de-
PENDANTS, Adolph Wolf & Son, who
state that Johnston claimed that Lives
ley & Co. had positively refused to pay
the rent money and that it was neces-
sary TO preserve the lease on the yard
that he should have the sum of 1896,
and that he would need money TO har-
vest the crop. In May, 1908, they,
fully believing that Johnston had re-
scinded the contract with Livesley &
Co., entered into contract with said
Johnston for said hops, and defendants
pray that this suit be dismissed and
they be reimbursed for the costs, and
If the court shall hold that the con
tract between plaintiffs and defend
ant Johnston is good that Defendants
Wolf & Son shall be reimbursed for
the amount that they have paid out.
The plaintiffs then filed reply to the
separate answer Of the defendant,
John Johnston, Jr., saying that they
have not information enough TO know
that Johnston was forced to pay the
rent on April LIST, as stated, and deny
that 1896 was over due on that date,
deny that defendant received a cum
from plaintiffs that they
would not send the money, and deny
that they stopped payment on all
checks payable TO Johnston, or any
check, except one for $3.50, which they
made out and sent 10 him and which
they then discovered was not yet due,
and they stopped payment on it. Deny
hat on April LIST defendant was in de-
fault Of rent or in danger of losing the
ease or compelled 70 borrow money.
On March 2s, 1908, they mailed him
he check for $3.50, before mentioned,
md a check drawn TO Frank Chap
belle ct a. for 1886 for the rent.

answer of Adolph Wolf & Son they
deny that defendants advanced John
ston large sums in good faith, and deny
sufficient knowledge TO form a belief
that defendant advanced Johnston any
money at all Deny that John John
ston in good faith, or believing he had
right TO, sold or delivered TO defend
ants or that said defendants in good
faith or believing they had right to
receive the said hops.
The argument was opened for plant
III by VIM. r. Slater. After review,
ing the facts as stated in the complaint
he coDtended that plaintiff was to fur
nish the money for the production of
the crop of hops, Mr.. Johnston having
an equitable interest in the crop. Wolf
& Son, he said, had knowledge Of the
lien which plaintiff had ON the crop,
and under the rule of law laid down in
such cases, such knowledge was sufii-
cient TO cause an investigation on the
part of Wolf q Son. lie SAID That
johnson was insolvent in 1902, and
that without notice he was again solv-
ent, according to his claim. He claimed
that glaring Inconsistencies existed in
the testimony of johnson, who said
that he went to Gervais and eashed one
of the checks and then went back 10
the ranch and stayed there a week, al
though plaintiffs witnesses proved that
he was in Salem during that time. The
attorney claimed that Joseph and John
Johnston were in the contract to-
gether, but that John wanted TO get
out Of debt and that Joseph stepped
out Of contract TO allow John to work
alone He claimed that defendant
John Johnston signed the notes yolun-
tarily, and that plaintiff had not stop
ped payment on all Of the checks, bat
claimed that payment was only stop.

nent for the defendants. He said that
