These depreda tions at last assumed such proportions that several of the long-suffering victims l*-gan a systematic campaign to catch the culprits and make an example of some of them if necessary to stop further loss to themselves. On Saturday Last A. J. Krueger, re siding on a farm near Gresham, caught three ls>ys from lx-nts in his Walnut orchard where they were busily engag<-d in shaking the unripe nuts from the trees. Two of the boys succeeded in making their get-away, but Walter Lindstrom, of !KK)3 tV4lh Ave. 8. £., was caught and when forced to do so acted as guide to Mr Krueger to the homes of the other two boys, Henry Knecht, of «131 90th St., ami B.

He estimated that he bad suffer ed loss to tbe extent of at least (16.00 that afterniMin at their hands and that if they would pay him this amount he would let them of! at thia time. He gave them one week to pay the damage and they gave him their promise that they would do so. In case they do not, Mr. Krueger will prosecute them, feel ing that it is necessary to do so in order to protect himself from further loss.
