FIRE DID IT SHOT A BEAR Within a Mile and a Half of Corvallis James Hays the Man. James Hashes killed a bear the other day. The remarkable part of the incident is the animal was shot within a mile and a half of Corval lis. It is a long time now since bears ventured so near the steeples, I school houses and steam whistles of this town, the site of which was formerly, theirs and the Red Man's favorite resort. Unfortunately for the rest of the story, it was a pet bear that Mr Hayes slew. It belonged to Sam uel Bane, and was so pestiferous and voracious that it became a nui sance, and his death had to be planned. A big chain around his neck held Bruin safely to an oak tree while the killing was in progress. There seems some doubt as to who did the shooting. Jimmy claims the honor, but there is a suspicion tnat he lacked nerve and that his better half fired the fatal shot. Destroyed Logs Cut for the Carriage Factory A Man and His Slashing. . Word was received by phone at j the Carriage Factory Thursday, of i the destruction of a large amount : of timber contracted for by the 1 company in the Cascades. The spot is four miles this side of Mills City. The factory had purchased! there a large amount of hemlock logs. The latter had been cut and ; peeled by contractors for the H H Haines tannery at Eugene. The logs were to have been shipped to Corvallis for use in the factory. Much of the tan bark had been ricked up in fhe woods near, and was to have .been shipped to the Eugene tannery. . Fire broke out through the act of a man who fired a slashing, and it spread until the hemlock woods be came involved. The word to Mr Cramer was to the effect that the fire might possibly destroy all of the million feet of logs together with the tan bark. x The Cramers had been operating in the woods about, a week, and had moved about 15,000 feet of logs to the railroad, where they are safe. The six teams occupied in the work have been ordered back to Corvallis.- , :The factory now expects to get logs at Summit, Benton county, if the timber there : does not get burned up by prevailing forest fires.
