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.

your hair can be,” said Mik$
