A PLucKy WoNAN-Mrs NJ A Bridges
| Il lecturer on Odd Fellowship, who former
ly lived in Eugene was victim of a foot pa
in San Francisco the other night accordin!
to the Examiner. She resisted the sttae
although the muzzle Of pistol was place
in close proximity to her head. In tn
tussle diamond pin and her purse wer
thrown to the ground. The property Wa
recovered but the would be thief escaped.
IL DANGER.-Corvallis is liable to b
without a river. The Gazette says; Abou
two more seasons of high water like thoS
already experienced this winter will resul
in the cutting of new channel through th
Willbanks farm and thus leave Corvallis o
n comparative island, as it were. Nothin
but small bed of gravel two or three fet
thick and perhaps hundred feet in lengtl
prevents the water from pursuing tbs
which is almost natural channel throug
this farm to the lake, thence into its natu
raj course.
