Mrs. Clarence. Denham was
drowned in Mill Creek late last
Friday afternoon while attempt
ing to save her 13-year-old adopt
ed daughter and another child
from a perilous position on a log
boom near the logging camp.
The accident occurred at the
mouth of Cedar Creek, ten miles
above the Sheridan Lumber Com
nanv s sawmill. Mrs. Denham's
adopted daughter and another
little girl had been picking flow
ers near the camp, and, desiring
to cross the creek, had walked
out on the logs just above the
dam. When a short distance from
the bank, both children fell into
the water, which at that place is
about 15 feet deep.
S2eing the plight of the child
ren, the mother ran to their as
sistance. Before she could reach
them, her adopted child scram
bled to the bank and out of
danger. In attempting to rescue
the other little girl, Mrs. Den
ham ran out onto a floating log.
When within a few feet of the
child, the log rolled and Mrs.
Denham was thrown into the
water. Being unable to swim,
and chilled by the cold mountain
water, the unfortunate woman
was unable to save herself, and
after a short struggle she sank
from view.
Meanwhile, the child had suc
ceeded in reaching a floating log
and had climbed out of the water
to a place of safety. Being unabe
to render any assistance, Mrs.
Denham's adopted daughter ran
to where the loggers were work
ing and gave the alarm. The
men hurried to the spot and re
mnvpn the other little girl from
1 her perilous possition. They then
sent a telephone message to
Sheriff Grant, informing him of
Mrs. Denham's death.
Early Saturday morning, Act
ing Coroner Hardy Holdman
drove to the scene of the drown
ing. When he arrived there the
body had been found and it was
soon drawn ashore. After look-;
ing over the ground and question
ing the men and the two little
girls as to the manner in which
Mrs. Denham had met her death,
the officer decided that no formal
inquest was necessary. Placing
the body in his conveyance, Cor
oner Holman brought it to the
Sheridan Lumber Company's mill
and turned it over to an under
taker from Sheridan.
Mr. and Mrs. Denham were
cooks at the logging camp and
had lived in Polk County only a
short time. Mrs. Denham was
about 33 years old. The husband
was in Portland at the time of
the drowning. -Polk County Observer.

A document found among the Duke
of Rutland's papers at Belvolr castle
throws a curious light upon the mode
ot getting private bills through the
English house ot commons in the days
of King Charles 11. The case in hand
was the divorce bill ot .lohn Lord de
Itoos. an affair that canned a great
deal of gossip in Its day. One of his
lordship's agents wrote In January.
1GC7: "On Wednesday last I got six
and forty of the house of commons to
the Dog tavern, in the palace yard at
Westminster, when were present Mr.
Attorney General and Mr. George
Montagu. As soon as they had dined
we carried them all to the house of
commons, and they passed the bill, as
the committee, without any amend
ments, and ordered it to be reported
the next day."
