Frank Jaggar, roadmaater, aald that
the rain was Bufnclent, but a little

u. Mavinr waa shot one evening

J. A. Tufts, the popular Clackamaa

It waa nothing other than cutting a

broke hU parole sometime ago, and
la serving a aentence or aooui a jer ,
told Sheriff Mass that he needed a
haircut, the Bberiff began looking
for aomeone to do the work. Mr. Tufta

titles. There being more than 800
feet of water In the well It baa been
found necessary to put In about 1,400

done at once, and drilling will be dis
continued only a few daya. The pro
