back, even if it's after Christmas.
HARRISBURG, Ore. (AP) - Linn County sheriff's officers say a
Harrisburg man stabbed his 13-year-old son to death before taking
his own life. Investigators say it's unclear why 49-year-old Darwin
Stout killed his boy and himself Wednesday morning, although it was
reported that he had been making irrational statements and had gone
to a Eugene hospital for an evaluation.
MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) - Medford police are getting ready for a
second trial of a suspect in a 2006 stabbing by searching downtown
rooftops for the murder weapon. The police say they've been
frustrated for years because they can't find a 5-inch-long,
multicolored knife with the words "Viva Mexico" on it. Their
search Wednesday turned up nothing.
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - The last scheduled round of legal briefs
has been filed in the long-running battle over making the Columbia

improvements to dams and dam operations are building on good ocean
conditions to produce strong salmon returns.
RENTON, Wash. (AP) - The Seattle Seahawks have placed defensive
tackle Junior Siavii on injured reserve after he suffered a neck

tackles.
RENTON, Wash. (AP) - Matt Hasselbeck says reviewing last week's

week against Tampa Bay.
