Last Monday Willard Price, of Kings Valley, let one of his brothers have a saddle horse to ride to Wren. On arriving at Wren the brother fastened up the bridle and turned the horse loose to find its way home. The an imal did not arrive home as Mr, Price expected it would and Tuesday morning he started out to look for it. He learned that a young man, whose name we do not care to mention, had stopped the horse, and mounting it, had ridden the. animal nearly to Corvallis. He then dismounted and turned it loose and came on to town. Al ter loitering about town for awhile he crossed the Willam ette and went to the house of a relative who resides a short dis tance east of this city, in Linn county. Willard Price, in his search, learned the above particulars and crossed over into Linn county and found the culprit and persuaded the young man to co are over to Corvallis with him. The young fellow stoutly denied all knowledge of the horse, but when in the presence of officers admitted the whole thing. Mr. Price concluded to do nothing with the boy, as he had found out where his horse was and no particular damage had been done him. It is hoped that the young man will mend his ways, as this is not the first time that he has been the star actor in the perfor mance of deeds that might have caused him trouble. Struck a Snag. About two o'clock Tuesday morning the steamer Ruth ar rived from Portland. At five o' clock, having unloaded some freight and taken on part of a load she left the ORIN dock to steam up to Fischer's Flouring Mills to take on a lot of flour. The distance from the O R & N dock to the mill is nearly half a mile and when the Ruth was about half way to the mill she struck a snag and stove a large hole in her bottom. Just how large is not known, but it must be of fair dimensions, as in about two minutes she had swung about and grounded on the east side of the river. She lies very nearly across the river. She was in command of Captain Inman. It was still dark when the ac cident occurred and the few pas sengers on board and part of the crew were considerable exercised, according to reports, and fancied that they had figured in a wreck that will make history. Aside from other items of freight there were fifteen tons of dried prunes aboard. This itself will form no small loss. The prunes belong ed to Hugh Fialey. Information regarding the af fair was at once telegraphed the main office of the O R & N com pany in Portland and other boats were put on the route to take care of the freight during the time that will be consumed in getting the Ruth out of her pres ent position and making the nec essary repairs.
