THROUGH A BRIDGE And Broke a Leg The Horse Had to be Shot An Accident. A defective Iinn county bridge made trouble for Corvallis, people Sunday. The bridge is the first north of the little cemetery four and' a half miles from Corvallis on the Al bany road, east of the Willamette- Logan Hays undertook to drive a team over it about six o'clock Sun day afternoon, and by the break ing of a couple of boards in v the bridge floor, one of the horses was so badly injured that it had to be shot. The bridge is only a small one, eight or ten feet in length. Alex Rennie had driven over it during the afternoon, and one of the hors es that he drove went partly thiough. When Mr Hays passed on to the bridge later, one oi his horses went through with both front feet, breaking one leg. The other horse became frightened, and dragging its comrade to its feet, the two ran for a distance of 100 feet or more. Then the buggy pole came down, and Mr Hays was thrown violently out, and one arm was considerably bruised and sorained. The horses became de tached about the same time from the buggy and continued their flight for a hundred yards or more when the wounded animal dropped. The buggy was not badly damaged. Mr Hays came to Corvallis on a borrowed farm horse and reported the trouble at the brick livery stable where the rig and team is owned . The proprietors went over and shot the horse and brought the wreck home. The Linn county authorities are said to have signified a willingness to pay the damages, action entirely justifiable on account of the de fective character of the bridge. , TWO RACES RUN And Two Won by the Mare A Third Scheduled for Yesterday Afternoon Two horse races were run on the Kiger track Sunday afternoon. A crowd of 300 people were there An old timer sighed as he said the occasion looked like old times. The racers were Clyde Cook's mare and Gene Tortora's horse, and the distance, a quarter. The start was by pistol shot, and the first time the gun went off the mare clattered down the track, through the stretch, and out under the wire with the horse still standing almost stock still " near the starting place. For some unknown reason, he failed to get off at the signal, and oh that account the race was given to the mare. A second trial happened a hour later. One racer . was wagered against the other that the horse would best the mare. Each ani mal was ridden by the owner. The start w&s good. When less than half the distance was covered, the horse was 15 or 20 feet in the lead. Suddenly the latter fell, and rolled with his .rider into a ditch. Neither was, hurt, but the race was lost. After the race, Mr Kline, a broth er of P A. Kline, purchased the horse for $50 and gave him back to Tortora. The" two horses were out on the track; for a third race when the Times went to press yesterday afternoon. Parties boldicg accounts against the 4th of July committee will please present same at oner to JH Nolan. Tha Kind You Havs Always pQ!igai Bears tha Signature . S of tuaTd AT EIGHTY PER ACRE Benton County Dirt W. A. Wells Sold it Some Former Figures. Mrs Sarah. J. Fleming bSb.ght a twelve and a half acre tract of land from W A Wells Saturday. The land lies a mile and a half west of Corvallis, and is a tract out f the Friedly place. It adjoins on the west the five acre prune orch ard owned by B W Johnson. Mrs Fleming is the wife of Mr Flem ing, who after arrival from Neb raska a year or two ago, bought the Carlile place of M S Woodcock. The price paid for the tract bought of Mr Wells was $80 per acre. The twelve and a half acres went for an even $i,ooocash. There are no improvements on the place save the fencing. Mr Wells has a 22-acre tract in the vicinity. The latter is all that is left of 172 acres, bought from Friedly by Mr Wells a dozen years ago. The price Mr Wells paid for the' 172 acres was $75 per acre. That was in the boom time a num ber, of years ago, when prices were high. One small tract out of the farm sold subsequently at $250 per acre. Others at $200, and still others for lesser figures. The Burt Johnson orchard went at $125 per acre. Hall the farm brought as much as Mr Wells paid for all of it. KILLED A BEAR Took Five Shots to do it He was a Big One Injured a Dog. A bear was killed near Pricketts mill on Greasy Thursday. He had been killing sheep in the vicinity, and A J Erwin and Jesse Brown's dog Corbett hunted him. The dog bayed him near the mill until Mr Erwin appeared. Three shots were sent into the animal, but he still remained in the ring. He seized the dog and . marked him with a number of bad scratches before the latter could escape. Fin ally, two more, shots, one in the breast and the other behind the shoulder laid his bearship out. All of the five shots took effect, two of them passing through the heart. Another riddled the liver. The bear was a big fellow, and in very fine condition. . The skin is only in fair shape. Corbett will be in condition for another hunt in a week or 10 days. Nolau& Callahan's great mid-sum mer sale begins Saturday, July 12.
