Another Yew Park Burglary-Others Po-
lice Court News.

Sunday evening a young man of
this city, whose name the police
court officials did not learn, called at
police headquarters and reported hav-
ing been the victim of some pick
pockets at the fair grounds during
the balloon ascension in the after
noon. His pockets were picked of
about SIC. The young man was
considerably poorer financially last
evening, but he had gained some val
liable experience. When he goes to
such place again, he will in all
probability leave his "spare change"
at home.
The residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Wm.
Baxter in Yew Park, was entered
for the second time, last Friday even
ing and thoroughly Tansacked, a
number of silk handkercniefs kand
articles of clothing were taken from
the residence. Mr.. BaXter's house
was also entered on Thursday even
ing, September 8.
Ed Williams was re-arrested Satur-
day night. Williams had only been
released on Friday for vagrancy prom
Using to leave town Immediately.
When searched at police station
huge rock weighing fully two pounds
was found in his coat pocket. Will
liams is one of the fellows who as
saulted Chief of Police Dilley on the
evening of Decoration Day and is con-
sidered a desperate character by local
police officials.
There are no new developments in
the recent Yew Park burglaries. w.
J. Huffman called at the office OF
Chief Dilley and identified the jew
elry taken from Frank Bailey as that
taken from bis residence. Bailey,
who is in the county Jail awaiting
the action of the grand jury, is un-
questionably guilty CT the crime with
which he is charged. That Bailey
had accomplices is evident from the
fact that VIM. BaXter's hOure was re-
entered on Friday evening last.
The work of pickpockets at the fair
grounds Sunday afternoon only
emphasizes the necessity of an in
creased police 70 rec during the session
of the state fair at least that the
residents of the city and visitors at
tending the fair may be afforded pro-
lection from this class of lawbreakeTs.
During fair week large numbers OF
questionable characters gather in Sa-
lem and their work is already 'in evil
dence. Chief Dilley this morning
remarked to a JOURNAL reporter that
it would be necessary for an increased
number of policemen to insure reason
able protection from the tough"
element that will be. in the city during
the next four weeks.

Many fine apple orchards in the
county are being ruined by canker
worms and their owners are wonder
ing why they can't stop the ravages.
Judge Wellhouse Of Leayenworth who
has the largest orchards in the state
says: "We have just completed the
fight Of our lives against the canker
worm. Have been running five power
sprayers, going over an average of
thirty acres Of orchard per day with
each machine. At first we used the
London purple mixture Of the stan
dard strength-one pound to 1850 gal
Ions of water. 1t didn't seem to af-
feet the canker worms, and they were
just as lively after as before the spray
ing. We then increased the strength
to one pound to 100 gallons of water,
but this was not strong enough, We
finally made it one pound of London
purple to fifty gallons, adding about
as much lime as London purple, and
| don't think a worm escaped. By
using plenty Of lime we avoided all
damage to the leaves. One pound Of
London purple and one pound Of lime
in fifty gallons of water will cover
about 100 ordinary trees. For very
large trees it takes more to thorough
| ly cover all the leaves.
