The Tim es WILLAMINA TIMES, Willamina, Oregon, Wednesday, March 7, 1973 of Wiliam Ina-:., JO ’ VOLUME 60 NUMBER 33 Youths cited Sheridan rodeo for bashing COUft choS©n mailboxes Two Sheridan area juveniles and one 18 year old adult, Da vid Clifford Bush, were cited Tuesday, February 27 for the destruction of four mail boxes in Sheridan. Using a metal bar to inflict the damage the three are ac cused of doing it while driving down the street according to the Oregon State Police in Mc Minnville. Somewhat the worse for wear, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Love, Rt. 1 Box 126, Willa mina, lost an argument with a jeep driven by a young Grand Ronde man last Thursday. Taking a curve too fast, the driver lost control and took out the next door neighbor’s lawn, part of the driveway, a railing, more lawn, several shrubs, rose bushes and the Lome’s front porch. The boy was not hurt and was able to drive away, somewhat shaken up, after the accident. E ar lier in the day, he had swapped vehicles with his father who drove the boy’s car to Salem while the boy drove his father’s heavy-duty jeep. Had he been driving his own car, he would probably have been killed. The Love’s were not at home when the accident occured,but upon returning from a shopping trip found the damaged house and the jeep. After surveying the damage, Mrs. Love said, philosophically, “ Well, we’d sort of been planning to remodel the front porch any how.” Bush has been remanded to District Court while the two ju- ! veniles will go to juvenile court for second degree juvenile m is chief. Trooper Anderson of the Oregon State Police cited the three. The incident occured Tuesday night at about 7:30 in the Cherry Hill area of Sheridan.
