A Fatal IMunge Over the Falls at Ore
gon City One Man Escapes
Special to The Ciiko.nicle.J
Ouego.v Citv, Or., Feb. S. About 7 :45
this morning, while a dense fog pre
vailed, George Freeman, aged 50; his
sons, George, jr., aged 20; Harry Free
man, aged 22: James Freeman, aged 10,
and L. I. Shannon, aged 36, who reside
in Canemah on the east side of the Wil
lamette river, started to their work in
the pulp mills on the west side of the
river in a 20-foot row boat, ns has been
their usual custom.
Shortly after leaving tho shore it was
noticed that tho boat was not headed
right and tho men changed seats, allow
ing the boat to drift. No danger was
apprehended until tho boat was on tho
brink of the falls. All managed to hold1
on to the boat while it dropped over the
first falls, a distance of about six leet,"
but only two held on over tho second
drop of thirty feet. The boat was caught
in an-eddyand drifted towards the shoio
near tho Crovwi and Willamette mills on
the west side of the river.
Gib Potter, on his way to work, heard
cries for help and on reaching tho bank
assisted Harry Freeman ashoie. Georgu
Freeman, jr., held on to tho boat until
near the shore, when his brother at
tempted to right the craft, throwing
Georgu off into tho water. Several men
put nut in boats, but tho missing men
could not be found.
Tho river is about 2,000 feet wide
where tho men rowed across, At tho
ordinary head of water the current ifl
about eight miles; the river having
risen rapidly the last few days, tho cur
rent now Is running about twenty-five
miles. Owing to tho increased current
mid no landmarks being in sight, thu
men lost their bearings.
Thirteen months ago George Freoman,
sr., K, W. Midlam, and II. Freemnn, thu
man who escaped, were caught In a
dense fog while crossing the river, bare
ly escaping by hard rowing, coming nut
against the breakwater near the edgo of
the falls, where they held on until as
sistance was rendered. .,
George Freeman, sr., was an Artisan,
and leaves a wife and three children.
L. I. Shannon was a member of the A.
