Falling between two logs in the boom
in the South Salem slough, an unidenti-
fled angler came near losing his life
this afternoon. The fisherman was
casting about for black bass when he
was seen to throw up his hands and
plunge into the water between the logs.
Gus Wendell rushed to his assistance
and succeeded in pulling him out of the
wet just as the angler s head was going
out of sight for the second time. The
stranger would not give his name, but
Offered his reseuer ten dollars for pull
ing him out. Wendell refused to take
the money and the fisherman came up

was dry.
