A THRILLING EXPERIENCE Miss Frances Belknap Almost Drown, v - ed in a Long Tom Slough. ; Friday evening a cry of distress met the ear of George Rickard as he drove leisurely along - the - road m the -. neighborhood - of Casper Zierolf S farm on the Corvallis- Monroe road. Simultaneously, a little daughter of Mr Zierolf ex citedly .informed Mr Rickard that someone was about drowning -not far distant. Directed - by the cries and the child, Mr . Rickard hurried along for a quarter of a mile on the road that leads eastward from the Zierolf home. At this point he discovered the distressed person nearly submerged, clinging -to: a snag in a deep slough that puts out from the Long Tom river. With much difficulty, a young lady was finally rescued, ' after having been in the water ;more than half an hour. She was assisted to the home of Mrs Mary Barclay, not far distant, where she was ' well cared for, and no serious results are ap prehended. ' " The unfortunate person proved to be Miss Frances . Belknap, ; of Corvallis, who is teaching at the Barclay school a short distance south of the Gird farm. Miss Belknap,at the time of the accident was on her way to Mrs Barclayjs after the close of school, and to reach her destination it was nec essary for her to cross a foot-log, which spans the slough in which she so nearly lost her life. In crossing she slipped off the log into the water, but providentially was enabled to grasp a piece of drift whi ch had lodged . beneath. During Miss Belknaps stay in the water, the slough had raised suffi ciently to carry away the : drift as soon as her weight was removed a fact giving positive evidence of the perilous position the young lady oca- cupiedfor what must have seemed to her a great length of time.
