SACRAMENTO, CAL, July 2--Shortly
after o'clock this evening a colored
woman named lone Fisher entered the
back door of saloon on L street. owned
by colored man named Charles Yates,
fellow I'm after"
Then she fired a shot at the proprietor.
The bullet whizzed By his head, and Yates
stood not on the order of his going, but
left immed lately. He lodged into the
next house and ran through 1t into the
yard. closely followed by the infuriated
woman. As he reached the foot OF the
stairs leading into the yard, the woman,
standing on the porch above. him at a
distance of about six feet. took deliberate
aim and fired again. The bullet struck
Yates directly on top of the head and
staggered him, but he recovered his
balance and ran away.
The woman finding that her yicti m had
escaped returned to the saloon, stood the
bartender up in the corner at the point of
her pistol ana slapped his face until she
tired OF that amusement, She then
smashed all the glassware and mirrors
and had started to demo olish the furniture
when the patrol wagon arrived. City At

wagon on the supposition that Yates was
arrest and took her TO the City Prison.
Shortly afterward Yates walked into the
Receiving Hospital and the City Physi-
clan removed the ball. The leaden mis-
sile had fat ened out on the skull as thin
as sheet OF paper.
As soon as the lead was removed and
the wound dressed Yates walked back 10
his place of business and began clearing
up the wreck. He said that no little thing
like getting hit in the head by a bullet
could keep him from working.
1t appears that the couple have been
living together for about seven month";
but of late the course of their love has en-
countered bowlders and they separated.
To-day the woman sent TO Yates for pair
OF old slippers she had left behind, and as
they were not forthcoming she went to
the house of colored man named Will
Iiams, stole his revolver and went on the
warpath.

RENO, New, July 2.-The citizens Of
Reno act as though some great calamity
had befallen the town, and all because the
Southern Pacific train on which William

chi LDREN IN SAN RAFAEL JAH.
Two Young Girls Are Accused of kaH-
C Gus Destruction of
ProDerfv

SAN RAFAEL, Call, July "A strange
case of youthful depravity came to light
in San Rafael to-day upon the arrest of
two little girls for malicious mischief. The
com plant was sworn to before Justice
Rodden by Mrs. M. A. Howe.
The children have a record which is ap.
palling, and The reason assigned by the
people of San Rafael who know them is
that they lack the need of restraining
hand. Ever since they have been able to
walk they have done as they plessed and
have been into more mischief than any
other two girls in the country. They are
Frances Morras and Rosa Morras, and
their ages are II and IL years.
According to Mrs. Howe. the girls got
on her property and, with the ala of
large sticks, destroyed her fruit trees.
They broke the branches and ruined the
fruit and in other ways attempted to do
malicious mischief
When seen in the County Jail the chill
dren looked innocent enough, and the
elder of the two replied 10 the questions
put 10 them. She said she had been ar.
rested for stealin. apIicots, and she ad.
mitted that sha did take the fruit, but
denied having broken the trees or done
other mischief.
1t seems that the girls have been al
lowed TO do everything and anyth ing, and
nature. Not long ago they went into the
front yard, of private residence, and,
seeing guitar lying on a porch, made
away with it almost under the eyes of the
owner. who caught them and made them
give it up.
Probably the greatest mischief the little
tots ever got into Yves the smashing OF
the organ in the Presbyterian church.
They affected an entrance into the church
in some way. The sight of the organ was
more than they could stand. and they
proceeded to demolish it. They broke
the flutes. An effort was made about
this lime to reform them, and one was
sent TO an institution, but returned after
time. IL is not thought that Mrs.
Howe will press the prosecution, and the
children will again be free. An effort will
again be maze TO have them put into
some institution, where they will be
trained properly.

STOCKTON, CAL. July "A second
Chinaman has been found on Roberts
Island who bears indications of leprosy,
and next Sunday DR.. Harkness, the coun-
ty Health Officer, will examine more
closely into the case. The Chinese gar
deners on the island are much alarmed ct
the visitations of the Health Officer and

it is the intention of the officials to ascer-
tain whether or not this spot has been

TO FARMERS AT WRiGHTS.
Last of the Lecture Course on Plan S and
Pests Closes Wrb Thanks to
Mr. Rioieff;

WRIGHTS, CAL, July 2.-The lecture
to-day on Insect Parasites" concluded
the course given by Mr.. Boletti. He had
endeavored. he said, in developing this
series of lectures, to do so in logical,
connected way. bringing out general
principles with the hope that each intel
hgent farmer who attended the course
would be able to apply the principles dis.
closed TO any particular set OF facts. He
had explained the structure of the plant
and its cells and the functions and mutual
dependence of its various parts. the man.
ner in which the plant grows and the con-
ditions which are favorable, as we'll as
unfayorable, to its growth, and the ma
ture, characteristics and life history OF
the various parasites and the manner in
which they get taeir foothold in the plant
and do their damage.
In such btef course of lectures he
could not say much in practical way
about spray pumps and how to use them,
ETC., but cou.d lay down general prin-
cipies so that the farmer could study for
himself the character of the remedy
needed and how to apply it. He COM
pared the insect and fungous injuries and
showed how, in many ways, they are
Identical.
From a consideration OF the various in
sect pests, he said, according TO their
method of attack, their peculiarities of
structure and their habits and ways of
feeding, he would be enabled to formulate
some general rules as to methods of treat
ment. The terrible phylioxera is a root
parasite, and while time without linn
and fabulous sums of money have been
expended in The Old and the New World
for its study and the discovery of a
remedy the pest still was with them. The
cultivation of immune or resistant varie-
ties OF plants, however. he said, was the
most promising remedy for this, as we'll
as many other pests. Professor Wood
worth OF the State University, he said,
was investigating the grasshopper pest at
Fresno and had discovered several prac-
tical and simple remedies.
The remedies used for insects are of
two main classes, depending for their ef
fciency on the feeding habit of the in.
sects. Those insects which feed on the
outer parts of the plant can be killed by
poisons and those which feed on the in
terror by caustics. The following is
summary of remedial measures for insect
injuries: Killing the insect by poison by
caustic washes and by mechanical means,
such as the hopper-doser, hand picking
and traps, the method of starvation and
the rotation of crops, the cultivation of
immune varieties and the spreading of in
fectious diseases among the pests.
A vote OF thanks was rendered to Mr..
Bioletti by the farmers for coming among
them and giving them the valuable in
structions which they had received.
