RIVER CLAIMS VICTIM.
EUGENE MAN DROwNs IN WILL
ANNETTE AT BUENA VISTA.
Loses His Life While Trying to Find
Companion Who Has Escaped
Without Accident.

BUENA VISTA, Or, May 81
While Claude A. Gaby and a man
named Luckey were coming down the
river from Eugene to Salem in a
launch, their boat was upset in a
swift rifle one mile south of this
place. The upsetting of the launch
was caused by its striking log which
was lying under the water. Both men
were thrown into the swift water.
Luckey caught the launch and
shouted to Gaby to swim to a stump,
which was sticking out of the water
near by Gaby swan to the stump and
climbed out of the water. Luckey then
swan around bend in the river, in
an endeavor to land the launch, and
finally reached the bank. Charles Fisk,
manager of the Dornbecker Company,
was just above them in a skiff, and he
at once set out to rescue Gaby. Seeing
that Gaby was undressing himself to
swim ashore and hunt for his compan-
ion, Fiske shouted to him to remain
on the stump. The river at this place
makes so much noise that Gaby was
unable to hear Fisk's warning.
When Gaby plunged into the water,
the swift current carried him to the
opposite side of the stream, where the
water was shallow enough for him to
stand upright. The current was so swift,
however, that he could not hold his /
footing. Being swept into the current |
again. he was making good headway |
for the opposite bank when Mr.. Fisk 1
got near him with the skiff. Fisk call
ed to him to turn toward the boat /
Gaby started swimming toward the |
skiff and had just shouted III make /
IT," when he suddenly sank from view,
never to come up alive again.
Mr.. Luckey came to Buena Vista
and hired team to take him to Sa-
en-, to which city Mrs. Gaby had
preceded her husband on the train.
parties have been diligently
lragging the river ever since the
browning occurred, but have been
inable to find the body.
Both Gaby and Luckey were resi-
lents of Eugene.
