Boat Upsets
In Calapooia
On Saturday
Waters in the swollen Umpqua
and its tributaries receded over
the weekend as heavy rains ceas
ed and the temperature dropped.
Monday, Douglas County Sheriff
Ira C. Byrd said the river had
stabilized. He said he had no re
ports of damage.
The angry waters and the steady
downpour did not pass unnoticed.
A Sutherlin man, Carl Dunn,
about 40, narrowly missed drown
ing Saturday. He was pulled from
the I mpqua River by two alert
citizens who saw him "bobbing
along in the water" near the Ump
qua Bridge.
And, up the Little River Road,
Leon Hughes, Glide, was seri
ously injured when his car dropped
into a cave-in on the Little River
Road about 12:30 a.m. Sunday.
Hughes was taken to Sacred Heart
Hospital, Eugene, where he is re
ported sutfering from a broken
right leg, fractured jaw and nose
and numerous cuts and bruises.
Umpqua Correspondent Mrs. G.
W. Munson learned of the near
tragedy in the river involving the
Sutherlin man from Jess Rippstein
and Don Coffey, both of Umpqua.
They told her they vere putting
up boats at Coffey's landing near
the bridge when they spied the
Sutherlin man.
They pushed a boat into the wa
ter and Dunn managed to grab
hold of an oar. The swift waters
carried the boat and the three men
far down the river before they
were able to put to shore.
Dunn told his rescuers that he
and Ralph Anderson, also of Suth
erlin, had been duck hunting. Ihey
put their boat into the Calapooia
River. It apparently hit a snag and
capsized, throwing both men into
the muddy waters. Anderson
swam to shore.
Dunn, who cannot swim, was
swept into the Umpqua, about 500
feet downstream. He was attired
in hip boots and told Rippstein and
Coffee that he had gone down at
least twice before they got him.
The Sutherlin men lost their boat
and guns.
The highway accident involving
the Glide man was also caused
by heavy rains. The water has
