RED CROSS SERVICE FLAG CANBY WATER SYSTEM
GEORGE LUEfeBEN FUNERAL
SEEMS H0DD0D TO TOWN
HELD HERE ON MONDAY
Canby is having a series of misfor­
tunes with its Water plant. Last weef
its pumping station Was destroyed b\
fire. A few days later Fred Graham,
while oiling an engine that was beinf
installed to operate the pumps anew
was injured by beine caught in the re
voiving machinery, and injured inter­
nally. He was taken to the Oregon
City hospital by Dr. Mount.
A couple of years ago Peter JHornig
was badly injured while operating the
pumphouse machinery, and sued the
city for damages. He secured a verdict
for several thousand dollars, though he
had offered to settle fora few hundred.
The case is now before the supreme
court on appeal. Thus the municipal
water plants seems a“regular Hoodoo”
to Canby.
The body of George Luebben who
was drowned Oct. 1, at Ilwaco, Wash­
ington, was found last week and brougt
to Aurora. Funeral services were held
here Monday at the Luebben residence,
Rev. Wm. Kraxberger of Oregon City
conducting the exercises. Burial took
place at the Aurora cemetery. The
parents of the deceased have the sin­
cere sympathy of the entire commun­
ity, for George Luebben i^as a young
man well liked by all who knew him,
both here and at his former home at
Macksburg.
George Luebben was born in Boston,
Mass., and was only 20 years old the
sixth of last April. He served a year
and a half in the army during the war,
where he was popular with his fellow-
soldiers and well thought of by hisj
officers.
