OTTO LINK DROWNS -- Otto LINK, a German rancher living a short distance from the town
of Washougal was drowned in the Washougal river, last Monday afternoon and so
far the body has not been recovered. Mr. LINK was at work on the river and it
is not known how the accident occurred. The first intimation of trouble was when
parties working nearby heard a cry for help and ran toward the river. They saw
Mr. LINK struggling in the water but were unable to reach him before he
disappeared. Searching parties have been working the river thoroughly but on
account of the treacherous nature of the river at this time of year, being full
of under and cross currents the search is without avail. A reward of $35 has
been offered for the recovery of the body on or before the 15th of this month.
Mr. LINK was an Odd Fellow and has been a resident of this country for the past
ten years. He was thirty-two years old and had many friends here.
Later -- The
body of Otto LINK was recovered yesterday. Albert AUNE, a young man about 19
years old discovered the remains in the Washougal river at the AUNE place about
10 o'clock in the morning. The body was taken from the river and conveyed to
Washougal where preparations for the funeral were made.

Season Will Open League Games For 1910
At 3:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon on
the Franklin street grounds at the high school Washington high school of
Portland and Vancouver high school will meet for the big game which will open
the season for the local high school and also be the first game Vancouver has
played as a member of the Portland Interscholastic League. The Washington high
school team is one of the best in the league and won the championship last year.
For this important game the local high school students have been putting forth
every effort to get out a big crowd to encourage the players and start the
season off right......
... The line-up for Vancouver tomorrow afternoon will
be: WINTERS, right end; WOOLF, right tackle; DIVINE, right guard; BARTOW,
center; O'DONNELL, left guard; LIESER, left tackle; MCCLUNG, left end; FERRELL,
quarter; SCHAEFER, right half; BISHOP, fullback; and MILLER, captain and left
half.
Every player in this lineup will be recognized as an experienced and
heavy man. While the line is made strong by such veteran heavyweights as
O'DONNELL, DIVINE and WOOLF, the back field is particularly strong. BISHOP
played for V. H. S. two years ago and last year went to Walla Walla high school
where he was recognized as the best high school fullback in the Inland Empire.
"Hap" MILLER is not only a big man with good headwork but he is a sprinter of
the first class. FERRELL and SCHAEFER are also first class track men and have,
in addition to their speed, good weight. Five heavy subs in VESSEY, STANLEY,
FALES, METCALF and MCCOWAN, will be on the sidelines ready to go in if needed.

piece. The tip was promptly refused by Judge MCMASTER who said it was against
the law to take tips and that he did not want the money. After receiving the
judge's blessing the dusky pair left for home but before going away the bride in

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE FROM SERIOUS INJURY
Car Crowded Off Embankment and Camas
Boys Are Pinned Beneath
Motoring homeward from Vancouver last Sunday evening
two Camas youths. Vernon CLARK and Perry BOARDWELL , aged about 16 or 17 years,
had an experience a repetition of which they would probably not relish for their
escape from serious injuries might not again be so fortunate or seemingly so
miraculous.
They were wheeling along in the CLARK Ford and at the time of the
spill were in the act of passing the car of C. Frederick PAIGE of Vancouver; who
had driven to the side of the narrow pass way for that purpose. Following the
CLARK and BOARDWELL boys was a heavy Dodge car, loaded and driven by Oscar HAACK
of Oak Park.
The latter apparently thought the passage was wide enough to cut
in between the CLARK and PAIGE cars and in attempting to do so the rear fender
of the lighter Ford was caught and the machine turned over. The boys were
trapped underneath and the side of the car rested across the neck of young
CLARK. The help that was fortunately at hand lifted the car clear of its
occupants. It then rolled twice over before coming to a stop at the foot of the
embankment, and was considerably damaged in consequence.
Young CLARK, who is
the son of O. T. CLARK, was scratched and bruised about the face and neck and
young BOARDWELL escaped with slight bruises. That they were not both seriously
injured seems little short of miraculous. One of the PARKER'S stage line cars,
happened along and brought the boys on to Camas.
The accident happened about
six o'clock. The location was at the FLETCHER prune orchards, a place said to
have been the scene of numerous accidents.

DROWNING
ACCIDENT LATOURELLE VICTIM
Local Fisherman Meets Tragic Death Monday Evening
at St. Helen's Oregon
A distressing river accident occurred about 7 o'clock
Monday evening at St. Helen's, Oregon, in which Wm. LATOURELLE, a well known
local fisherman of this city lost his life by drowning. Full details of the
tragedy are lacking as this report is prepared for the press. Mrs. LATOURELLE
was appraised of the unfortunate occurrence by phone message soon after it
happened, and with other members of the family, departed for the scene within a
few hours. The body has not been recovered the time of writing these lines.
From the best local source of information it is gleaned that LATOURELLE, in
company with "Baldy" WRIGHT of Washougal, was at St. Helen's dock where they
were unloading a cargo of fish taken from a trap above Washougal. A heavy wind
prevailed at the time and in some manner their craft was capsized by the
turbulent waters. Another boat standing by succeeded in rescuing WRIGHT, but his
companion was drawn down to his death.
One of the first reports received here
had it that their boat caught a snag in midstream and was wrecked thereby: that
LATOURELLE became tangled in the wreckage while WRIGHT held to the boat until
rescued.
The drowned man was conceded to be one of the best and most skillful
river men along the Columbia. As a successful fisherman he had spent practically
his entire life along the river and upon its waters. LATOURELLE Falls, some
distance up the river derive their name from that of his family tree. A brother
Joe LATOURELLE, also follows the life of a fisherman.
The family is of
French-Canadian origin with an infusion of Indian blood, one quarter. Wm.
LATOURELLE the drowned man, was somewhat of a talented musician and the leader
of LATOURELLE'S orchestra, which has so frequently been employed for furnishing
music for local affairs requiring it. He is highly spoken of as having been a
man of integrity.
The surviving members of the family are his widow, Clara,
and two sons, Richard and Lucian, and two daughters, Irene and Lucille, to whom
is extended sympathy and condolence in their tragic loss of husband and father.

While attempting to cross Beeson street at the intersection of Fifth street
Monday evening about 6:30 o'clock, Lewis, the seven year old son of Mr. and Mrs.
Merle RICHARDSON was seriously injured by being struck by a car driven by Miss
Sophia BELZ. Miss BELZ was driving home from town and as she approached the
intersection of the streets, Lewis started to cross on a run ahead of the car. A
companion called to him that the car was coming and the little fellow turned
about and as he did so turned his ankle, falling into the car. The rear wheels
of the car ran over his left hand and leg and the side of his head was badly
bruised, for contact with pavement when falling. The boy was carried to his
home a short distance away and Dr. MCMAKIN summoned. The physician found no
bones broken, although his limbs were badly bruised. The injuries that concerned
the doctor most was the bruised on the left side of his head. But no permanent
injuries will result, according to the doctor, and the little fellow is getting
along fine at this writing. No blame is attached to anyone for the mishap,
and Mr. and Mrs. RICHARDSON are most thankful the results are not of a more
disastrous nature.
