ASSAULTED AND SHOT.

A gang Of lads, whose ages range from II to
IS years, have been amusing themselves lately,
in the neighborhood of Hunt and Rucker streets,
by assaulting paasers-by, and attempting to rob
them The police force made efforts to arrest
them, but, having videttes posted block or two
away from the scene Of their depredahons, they
are always notified Of the approach OF
the officers, and make their escape.
Occasionally, by way Of variety, they
break open stores and purloin money
and cigars. Several days ago four Of the class
were taken into custody upon suspicion OF hay
ing been implicated in burglary, but the proof
being insufficient, they we're discharged. At
o'clock last evening these boys attacked q Ger
man and nearly killed him. His name is Chris
topher Berdelson, and he lives at the No. 1874
May street. While returning home from his
work, ha was stopped at the corner
mentioned, by twelve OF fourteen lads,
who surrounded him, and demanded his
money. He Was unable to speak English, and
could not understand them. One OF the lads
struck him, and he showed that he was deter
mined to defend himself. Trying to force his
dIed' ' at Elm. he fell to, the ground and the
lads ran away. Several citizens who heard the
discharge Of the weapon TAN up to the place,
anQ. unQ1uE ptIue1soA 4tlu6 ooHA at4u niVoA-
ing,' picked him up and conveyed him to
the Eighth Precinct Station, Or. Wild was
summoned, and ascertained that the bullet had
penetrated his back near the left shoulder blade,
and, striking rib, glanced of and lodged near
the left nipple in the breast. The BAH was re-
moved by the physician, and Berdelaon was
taken to his boarding house. He is very poor,
and having no means to pay doctor, viii pTobac
bly, be sent to the County Hospital.
Tie wound is not considered dangeroue.
Half an hour after the shooting a man called
at the Eighth Precinct Station, and reported that
he had been stopped at the corner OF Second and
May streets by several boys, one Of whom
pointed revolver at him. He ran away before
the lad shot, and was very, anxious

sects injurious to the horticulturist. He gave
an account of beetle that bored into tho Law
ton blackberry and destroys the cores, and pre-
dicted that it would probably prove highly de-
structiye to this fruit. He entitled his essay
"Scraps picked up along the way" 4 man that
has an eye to bugs, to caterpilarB, and to butter
flies, sees much, and is never lonesome when he
passes through the forest.
The Legislature is to be memorialized to con-
tine the Office Of State Entomologist as of great
Importance in keeping the cultivators informed
Of the habits Of new insects and WORMS, and how
to guard against their ravages.
The report on ornithology was read by J. c.
Cooper, Of Centralia. He took the ground that
the birds we're useful to man after deducting the
cost Of their keeping, with the proviso that they
make little too free with the early fruits. The
essay was replete with sound common sense on
the whole. In footing up the account for and
against the birds, he gave them balance on the
credit side Of the ledger.
MI. Huggins would bear testimony. to the
good Offices Of the birds. He would call atten-
tion to the 1abors Of the blue-bird and wren in
destroying the codling moth, 80 injurious to the
apple.

noxious insects.
