Brought Near To Death

Happily for him, friendly eyes were
upon John Heikkila yesterday morn
ling, when, at his work as boom-boss
for the Astoria Timber Company at
Uniontown. he fell from the logs and
they closed together over his head,
and cut off his voluntary effort and
chance to save himself from drown
ing nj the Columbia Several fisher
men in the service Of the Coop" can
merry were at work on a nearby net
dock and saw the accident; giving
the alarm, they rushed to the boom
land set vigorously to work scattering
the logs and polling for the submerg-
cd body which was quickly found and
brought to the surface, by which
time Karl Knoblich arrived upon the
scene and instantly went to work
with those present, to revive the ap-
parently dead man. Swiftly and
steadily the work was carried to a
happy conclusion and Heikkila was
soon able to walk to his home, where,
after rest and refreshment, he re-
turned to the boom and took up his
days work, so dangerously inter
rupted.

Had a Good Time

II was the morning after for
Herb ingalls, III police court yes-
terday. The spirit Of cxhiliration that
had exalted him to deeds Of prowcss
the night before had died away His
eyes were blacked; his face showed
traces of more than one stout blow;
and when he was asked by the court
Iif he was drunk as charged he said he
guessed he was, but he didn't refnen-
Der much about it. According to the
accounts Of what happened along
Astor street on Tuesday night, In
gals had evidently started in to
"clcan out" that part Of the town.
He started to clean out the Senate
saloon and succeeded fairly well
there, according to the various re-
ports that are told OF this battle At
the Mug saloon he was not quite SO
, successful. There he met an antago-
mist worthy Of him and Ingalls, was
fred bodily out into the street Hav-
ing only two eyes, il was not possible
to have more than that number
blacked. but several extra coats OF
the blacking and tinting were put on.

grinations. Evidently he didn't like
her appearance. He kicked her and
choked her. Finally, Police Officer
Oberg, with the assistance Of one or
more citizens loaded the fighting
rancher into an express wagon and
he passed the night in jail. 1t was
not the first time he had been there,

sentence of 80 days in jail or a fine Of
$50, but suspended sentence during
good behavior. ingalls, is big strap

Drilled In Open Air

The First Company, Coast Artil-
lery, held its first open air drill last
evening, when the company marched
to Van Dusen's vacant lot and was
drilled in platoon formation. The
company met at the armory and from
there went to the field. The drill in
platoon formation was as success
full as could have been expected. as
the ground is not very even. With
the advent Of darkness the company
was marced'back to the hall where an
effort was made to continue the pla-
toon drilling, though the hall is not
large enough for that purpose. All
OF the officers, both commissioned
and non-commissioned, were present
last evening, and there was good
turnout of the members Of the COM
pany, there being eight full squads.
Captain Abercrombie announced that
this evening in his Office in the city
hall will be held the competitive
drill for non-commissioned officers.
Any member is entitled to compete
for the position of corporal. 1t is
hoped that the uniforms will arrive
soon, as the boys are anxious to get

as il was found not possible to COM

dition to these Judge Trenchard and

side announced that they would At

hoped to appoint other delegates
but inasmuch as this is the busy sea-
son throughout the county it IS diff
fcult to find men who have the time
to 90. It is probable the Clatsop

the state to pay certain amount for
every dollar that the counties expcnd
on roads For example, If county

ber of Commerce.
Various matters pertaining to the
county roads were discussed at the
meeting yesterday The road petit
toned for by Daniel Rierson and
Others was granted, though only after
long discussion. The vote on this
matter was not unanimous, as Judge

voted for it and Commissioner Moore
against it.
