"Jump-Off Joe."
Joe Albers of Corvallis bad a narrow
escape from drowning about 12 o'clock
last Saturday night. Joe was jagged
and wulked off the platform iu the rear
of the Water Front saloon, dropping
ubout 12 feet. His cries brouglit Ralph
Van Cleve aud Frank Parker to his as
sistance with a boat, but the tide was
coming in rapidly and he was carried
about one hundred yards, t a point
near the comer of G. L. Gray's saw
mill yard, before they reached bim.
The drowning man had ceased to strug
gle and only the too of his head was
visible when hm rescuers seized him
and prevented bim going to the bottom
for his finish. He was uuconscious
when Frank and Ralph dragged him up
the bank. By this time about a dozen
persons had arrived and all joined in
rolling Joe over a log aud pumping
water out and air in. Dr. Wetmore
also appeared ou the scene and admin
istered restoratives, after which Joe
was taken to the Parker Honse and pat
to bed. Here lie became quite "bug
house," and to Rlph Van Cleve was
assigned the pleasant job of sitting
upon bim until morning. By Sunday
evening he was able to be around again
and was placed aboard the train and
Bent home. Albers is about 50 years of
age and is said to be an expert carpen
ter between drunks.
Appreciated.
We desire to express our heartfelt
thanks to Mrs. Hose M. Schenck and
the other ladies of tbe W. R. C. for the
beautiful cap recently presented by

temper at times, jnmpd upon him,
knocked him down and did a cakewalk
upon his prostrate body. The horse
was sharp-shod and Ed came out of the
mixup with several severe wounds. He
was unable to get his team across the
