POPULAR MED FORD WOMAN
NARROWLY ESCAPES DEATH
What might havu been a fatal ac
cident was only averted by great
prseence of mind when, on Sundnv,
Mrs. Fred Colvig, a popular member
of Med ford's social set, while fishing
on Rogue river, misled her footing
and was precipitated into (he stream.
The current at this place was swift
ami I In; channel Marrow. Ilnd she
endeavored to fight it she would have
been exhaused and no doubt swept
away. Ueali.iug instantly her posi
tion, she allowed the current to enrry
her down stream until she found foot
ing njHin some rocks, from which vnn
tage point she gained the shore. Had
she exhausted her strength in a futile
effort in the swifter current she
would not have lutd the strength
which later earned her safely to the
hank. She has ipiite reeovered from
the .shock and now only laughs at her
narrow escape.
