Almost Drowned.
LUcY CARTER

Last Friday Miss Mary Wheeler and two
other ladies started to so over the Calapooia
for blackber7es, and while attempting to
cross the stream on the saw logs in the pond
Miss Wheeler slipped and fell into the water
As the logs rolled very lively her friends
could render her but very little assistance,
and sha would very probably havs drowned
had not some men como to the rescue. 1t is
rather dangerous for persons to attempt
crossing the Calapoeia on these logs unless
they have had some experience in such feats
Of balancing.
