A Moment in History: Bruce Haney In 1907 Mr. Sing spent 2 weeks to travel to Boring for work. He was hired by Jarrell and Page to work in the saw mill. As part of his employment he was given a cabin. On Oct. 31st he awoke to gun shots being fired into his cabin. Mr. Sing was hit in the thigh and screamed out and the shots stopped. Mr. Sing went to the Good Sam hospital and was told if they did not remove his leg he would die. Not knowing much about western health care, he did not want his leg removed. Then Constable Johnson went to investigate and found copper bullets at the site. Knowing who used those bullets 7 people were arrested. The three youngest were given 3 years and given parole, 1 - 6 months and 1 - 6 years. The Father and son were given life because the son fired into the cabin and the father didn't stop him.
