OflLK HEADMAN LIVW
Was Capslsed In Boat, Rescued and
. Drifted Back to Astoria.
Emlle Headsman, fHherman, was re
ported drowned yesterday afternoon.
He was one of our best men, said Mr.
Tallant. He was regarded--a
on of th best fishermen on the Co
lumbia. He was a young athlete, dar
ing and capable of combatting with all
of the ordinary obstacles. W hid
built him a special boat for the sea
son but unfortunately fie got beyond
his strength. When last seen, he and
his puller, Charlie Walberg, were sud
denly swamped by a squall, and all
was lost, r
The boat, howvr." continued Mr.
Tallant. "was afterwards rescued, and
It Is now at A. Booth's, practically a
total wreck for repairs. Poor twys,
they have gone to the bottom of the
sea. After all of these years, Emlle,
the best fisherman on the Columbia,
an athlete, oarsman and my choice of
men, lost his life on a boat especially
built for him and that too, on his
first trip out" i
"It Is the saddest occurrence of my
fishing Industry," continued Mr. Tal
lant. " "
"Julius Erlckson brought In the sad
news." said Mr. Tallant "If was on
ly S00 yards from Headman when the
accident occurred. ; A sudden squall
appeared and In a' desperate effort to
save themselves Headman and his boat
puller went down boat and all disap
peared." .
Headman la one of the most popu
lar young men In the city. He Is six
feet tal!.affable. polite and a perfect
gentleman, and beside winning the
admiration of Ms employer, every one
who has met blm Is hi friend.
All Unlontown was In tears. One of
the greatest funerals in the history of
the city was being prepared In case his
body was recovered.
The Astorlan was preparing for a
big write-up of the case and bad just
about finished when news was receiv
ed that Headman had shown up In
Unlontown. Then an Investigation waa
begun through telephone, messenger
,and otherwise and Mr Headman was
brought to the Astorlan offloe.
, HEADMAN'S 8TORT. ' '
"We had had a rough day," said Mr.
Headman, "but being used to those
things, I waa hot alarmed. Suddenly
when a squall came up after we had
teen drifting hard for sometime and
everything eemed sgalnst us, th new
boat, which I expected, was exactly,
fitted for the occasion, turned 'cranky
and unmanageable. In Ihm time than
It takes to tell It she turned over and
wrnt clesr around on her side. Then
she suddenly shifted her beam' and I
was left In the sea. By Inatlnot or In
a spirit of desperation, T seised the
first thing I came In contact with and
it happened to be my companion' legs
He held on to the boat and I held on
to him. . . "
Finally, a boat In th distance saw
our desperate condition and came to'
our rescue. We were miraculously res
cued and started adrift for Chinook,
on the Washington side- As a remark-'
abel co-Incidence we picked up our net
afterwards, which had been lost, but
the boat drifted away and was after
wards picked up practically beaten te
pieces, and waa brought back for re
pair ;'. '
We were taken to Chinook, and
were treated royally, and arrived to
night, to the great surprise of our
friends who were mourning us as
4ead.
I am stilt a fisherman and will dare
the wave," aald Mr. Headman, "but
I hope to never have such an exper
ience again."
Mr. Headman and kla companion
were brought over on the steamer
Mller yesterday afternoon.

WILD T0H,T AFLOAT."
The Tug Samson Lose a Tow With
Thre Men Aboard.
There was a wild .rumor afloat yes
terday that th tug Samson, Captain
Randall commanding., had lost -three
men overboard In an effort to tow a
barge to port After many Ineffectual
efforts to run the story down, the fact
a gleaned ar that the Samson caught
onto the targe at the mouth of the
river and la attempting to tow the
same Into th harbor parted a hawser,
lolng th barge In the effort . I
After a fruitless endeavor to recover
her tow the Samson returned to port
and after equipping herself with'; new
steel bswser left out In search of the
barge. There are three men on board
the latter and grave fears are enter
tained that she may drift out to sea
and be lost
Captain Woods, ons of the prominent
bsr pilots, however, Is of the opinion
that the barge Is a weather-rider and
that she will be rescued, together with
her crew, all safe and sound. There
Is great excitement Jn the city over the
probable fate of the men on the barge
which will not be, atlaxed until the re
turn of the tug. Owing to the lateness
of the hour, It waa Impossible to learn
the names of the men on the barge,
but It Is understood that they are resi
dents of the city.. The Astorlan win
probably have all the facts connected
with the affair at an early hour this
morning, or at least as soon as the
Samson returns. . -
Captain Johnson, of the steam
schooner Lskme, who arrived in last
evening, reports seeing the 6amin,
but doubts her ability to succeed In
her search, aa the waves were rolling
mountain high a he passed In with
his ship. A great deal of anxiety. Is
manifested In the city over the prob
able results and the return of the tug
Is anxiously looked forward to.
FIRST TEAM DEFEATED.
Foxy Grandpa's Aggregation Won Out
at Bowling Last Night"
Foxy Grandpa's little scheme was
successfully worked at the Commercial
Club alleys last night,, when the first
team went down to defeat before the
second aggregation. ; The contest was
ribbed up" by Grandpa Desn, who in
duced the members of the first team to
bowl a series of IS games for an elabo
rate supper. The second team won by
superior vocal effort which statement
doea not, however. In, any way tend to
detract form Its victory. First team
men can be bought for a song; second
team men will appear cheety for at
least a week to come.
The slaughter commenced In the
very first game when the aspirants for
gory scalps won out by a single pin.
This slender r1oory -eufflced to turn
loose the dogs of wsr, and. although
the alleged champions gave a demon
stration In the second game, fate re
lentlessly pursued them. The last
game was a fine one for both teams,
but the crack-a-Jacks were unable to
overcome the excellent total of the
ether crowd. The second team took
three of the four games, but were de
feated by it plna In the grand total.
McCabe bowled the beet total IS
and also the beet single game-rL For
the second team Mills, wsa high, with
