A CLOSE CALL.
Two Families In Water Twenty Feet Deep.
Last Thursday while Messrs. A. Pygall
and Mr. Hyte accompanied with their
families, undertook to cross Siletz river at a
spot where an Indian directed them,
although they had misgivings relative to
the undertaking, yet they started across.
The water, which was swift, became deeper
and deeper till all at once they went over
a "jump off" twenty feet deep. The wagon
became uncoupled and Mr. Hyte took the
two horses ashore. The bed of the wagon
arose with some of the children and floated
at a point within two feet of the top. The
ladies were holding to the bed, and Mr.
Pygall was swimming and helping the
children by pushing them forward when
ever they came up, till all got out on dry
land once more. Mr. Swann afforded all
the accommodations possible as soon as he
came to the spot. Four indians for the
sum of one dollar apiece dove into the
water and secured wagon, spoons, etc.
The Indians say it is impossible to cross at
that place at any season of the year. When
the first came to hand he began to explain
that he meant they could cross at that
place with a ferry boat which was on the
other side of the river. Both families ar
rived safe and weM in Corvallis last Sunday.
Fire at Albany.
Last Friday afternoon telegraphic infor
mation was received here that an extensive
tire was raging in Albany. It appears that
the fire caught in an empty wooden build
ing which had at one time been occupied
as a China house. This building was situ
ated just across the street and down the
river from the St. Charles hotel, and at the
rear of another empty building frontiug
south on to the street. The fire extended
to the empty building alluded to which had
once been used as a saloon, consuming it
entirely; along-side of this building one door
farther down stream stood another wooden
building occupied as a furniture store which
was also consumed. Messrs. Tompkins
and McFarland's tin store along-side of the
latter building the tin roof of which was un
sodered and damaged very much. The fire
extended across the street to the St. Charles
hotel burning the roof off from that build
ing. The fire companies of Albany ex
tinguished the tire from the St. Charles
hotel after the roof was entirely burned off.
Mrs. Houk who occupied the hotel removed
the furniture therefrom resulting in much
breakage and damage to it.

Our readers can greatly assist us in gath

Should a death occur in your neighborhood
you arc under obligations to the public, in
general, to let the people know it. The
main object of the performance of the
nuptials is to give' publicity to the marriage,
and this is all right; yet there are ministers
who perform these sacred rites, receive
their five dollars, and never send an item
of the matter to the county newspaper.
Now we want to know if this is right.
Educational matters are of intense interest
to the public. On account of the silence
some neighborhoods exhibit, readers would
readily conclude that nothing of a religious,
political, mechanical, professional, agricul
tural, accidental or criminal nature ever
occurred in their midst. Send us news in a

Runaway Xeam.
Quite a severe accident happened last
Sunday. While Mr. Wallace Baldwin and
wife were riding in a two-horse buggy
with a team which had hitherto always
been quite gentle, on their way to visit
friends at Philomath, one of the horses be
came restless and uneasy growing worse all
the time until she finally started to run.
She ran some distance, and while crossing a
small bridge the buggy ran off tipping it
over and hurling both occupants headlong
to the ground. Mrs. Baldwin was severely
bruised in the face so badly that one side of
her face has swolen so badly that her eye
is almost closed. She received some other
injuries. Mr. Baldwin was quite severely
jamed on the arm, hand and side. His side
is perhaps injured the worst. It is sup
posed that the fractious horse had a severe
attack of the colic and was trying to get
away from it.
A Fire Brand.
A rather curious circumstance came to our
ear this week. Mr. John Blanford who
stops at Mrs. Stilsons residence in the south
part of town, informed us that one morning
of last week. Mrs. Stilson discovered under
the sidewalk in front of her house a large
piece of burned oak wood several inches
both iu length and thickness. It was al
most burnt to a coal and when found was
yet warm. One would suppose that dur
ing the night some scoundrel had been on
his way to some place to commit destruction
and fearing that he was watched or pursued
put the fire brand under the sidewalk to
hide it. It is possible that the same .party
got down as far as Albany about the time
of the recent fire there.
New Carriage.
The new carriage of which we made men
tion of the top being put on last week by
Mr. Hemphill of this place, is a Corvallis
production all through. The wood work
was nicely and neatly made by Mr. L. L.
Horning of this place. K was ironed in a
durable manner and in accordance with the
latest designs by Messrs. Hutton and
Hilliard, blacksmiths of this place. The
finishing touches were put on by Hon. F
M. Wadsworth fine wagon and carriage
painter. It is an elegant piece of work and
a credit to the town.
Returned.
Cyrus Powers, who went East of the
mountains last spring in hopes of benefiting
his health, returned last Friday looking
somewhat improved although quite a severe
cough lingers with him yet . He has pur
chased a tract of land about six miles, from
the Dalles, Wasco county, and intends to
remove there with his family in a few days
to make that locality hie future home.
VAM0USED,
A Husband Crawls out of Bed and Deserts
the Premises.
Not quite one year ago a man by the
name of John Parent, was married to a Mrs.
Hannon who lives just across the river from
Corvallis. Parent was not well known in
the country, but for a while apparently
acted the part of a citizen quite well.
However he exhibited a natural antipathy
to work. The family lived together moder
ately agreeable till Sunday night July 30th.
All that is known is about as follows: Mrs.
Parent is a very sound sleeper. Her hus
band got up some time in the night evident
ly dressed only in his night clothes; he took
what clothing of his he could find and like
ly went out of the back door, as a jar of
some kind in that direction partially awak
ened her. Though she knew nothing of
what had occurred till morning revealed the
story. It was then that fresh boot tracks
were found leading iu the direction of
Albany. On tracking them some distance
the tracks of three other parties were seen
to come together. These facts with others
very strongly intimate the idea that it was
a premeditated plan that he should so leave,
and others should accompany him. Why
one should act so in this land of justice and
liberty, is a mystery. We do not intend to
participate in family troubles; but we say
there is a proper way to adjust all unpleas
antness, and when a man leaves under the
darkness of night, a greater darkness must
shadow his character.
A Chinaman Jugged.
For the past year there has been working
for the Warren Bros. , near the Summit, a
Chinaman whose duty it was to do the gen
eral house work, while the .boys tilled the
ground and played the part of the "sturdy
farmer." Things went along very well until
last Tuesday when the almond-eyed indi
vidual got his "back up" about something
and concluded to come to own. The War
ren boys didn't particularly object, but
knowing that he had rather a "taking" way
about him they thought best to have him
searched. A warrant was issued for that
purpose and placed in the hands of Consta
ble bmith. who, after some investigation,
found quite a number of articles in his dos
session belonging to the boys. He was
then arrested for petit larceny and brought
before Justice Aldrich, after which a jury
was empanneled and the Chinaman tried.
The prisoner was found guilty and sen
tenced to a term in the county jail. Con
stable Smith, accompanied by Mr. Claude
Warren, brought the heathen to Corvallis
last Wednesday and delivered him over to
Sheriff King, who showed him a suite of
rooms in the "calaboose" and is now a
guest of Benton county.
Received Orders.
Mr. Albert J. Ray of our town received
recently a photograph of Mr. Elvin Glass,
formerly of our town, who last summer was
appointed to the United States Signal
Service. His photo., looks natural. He
was one of twelve out of fifty who passed
a first-class examination and was the first
of his class to receive orders. He was ap
pointed to go to Cincinnatti Ohio.

Steamer Benton.
A telegram over the line of ' the Oregon
Pacific Railroad announced that the ill-fated

that had occurred to her when she was
launched a second time was much exage
rated. It is fortunate that the news was
bad and not the steamer.
Thumb Cut.
A severe accident occurred last Tuesday
to Mrs. Huffman. She was in Albany visit
