Canby "Liveryman Loses His
Buggies.
William Armstrong is the liveryman
at Canby. One day last week a number
of his rigs were sent out with a funeral.
When tbey returned the buggies were
covered with mud and he concluded that
tut the best way to clean them would
be to take them to the Molalla river,
which is but a short distance away
Accordingly he hitched four of the bug
gies together and droye to the river.
Without anticipating any trouble he
drove into the swift, swirling waters,
when a heavy current immediately
struck the vehicles and tore them away
from their fastenings. In a few minutes
they were far away and out of reach and
sailing onward to the Willamette. None
of them have been recoveied and by this
time they are likely a good way on the
road to the Pacific. Mr. Armstrong is

A MISTAKE.
in
Leads to a Shooting Affray
Which 1'atrlck Freeman
is Wounded in The
Leg.
Last Friday afternoon John Evans
fired a charge of birdshot which took
effect in the leg of Harry Freeman.
Freeman was in the employ of J. F,
Hawkea, of Portand who was rafting
logs down the Clackamas and owing to
the high water was unable to bold the
logs together and as a consequence
about two hundred of them got away.
Evans is the Government tender of
the ligbt of Elk Rock and has made a
business of gathering in stray logs as
they come down the stream. Hawkes
says that in company with Ren Baster
he went to see Evans and told him that
he could not bold the logs as they were
branded but that Hawkes was 'willing
to pay salvage. Freeman was on a raft
replacing the logs when Evans ap
proached in a rowboat. Seeing ttie logs
were being taken he picked np a shot
gun and opened fire on Freeman, nearly
the whole charge taking effect in the side
and thigh. Freeman was brought to
Oregon City where the shot were remov
ed. He was afterwards taken to Port
land where he lives In a scow at the foot
of mill street. A warrant was sworn out
for Evans and he was arrested. He
is out on bail furnished by Mrs. Adklns
of Milwaukie. He says he thought
Freeman was stealing the logs. The
case will be tried today.

A. J. Snell wanted to attend a party,
but was afraid to po so on account of
pains in bis stomach, which he feared
would grow worse. He says, I was tell
ing my troubles to a lady friend, who
said: "Chamberlain's Colic, Colic and
Diarrhoea Remedy will put you in con
dition for the Jparty.' I bought a bottle
and take pleasure in stating that two
doses cured me and enabled me to have
a good time at the party." Mr. 8nell is
