Train death — Portland police say an autopsy shows an 18-year-old man identified as Taishawn Nathaniel Millage drowned after a train knocked him into the Willamette River. The police said Monday it remains unknown why he was walking on the bridge about 11 p.m. Friday. The bridge is south of the St. Johns Bridge.

Woman found dead — The Umatilla County sheriff says a woman has been found dead near a camp trailer in Northeast Oregon. Sheriff Terry Rowan says deputies responded after the dispatch center got a call Monday reporting that a 30-year-old man had told a friend he killed his girlfriend. The body was found after a search of the property in Echo, where the man had set up his trailer. The sheriff says deputies later located the boyfriend and took him in for questioning. Rowan says the cause of death was not immediately determined. The woman’s name was not released.

Stranded salmon rescued — Volunteers joined state fisheries biologists in Southern Oregon over the weekend to form a kind of bucket brigade to rescue young salmon and steelhead stranded by the drought. The flow of Bear Creek through downtown Medford is a fifth of average from the lack of rain and early irrigation withdrawals. That left some juvenile salmon and steelhead unable to survive in warm stagnant pools, and unable to make their way to cooler water upstream. Biologists figure they got a few hundred juvenile fish out.

Police dog vests — Two Medford police dogs have bulletproof vests thanks to the senior project of North Medford High School student Shyonna Leach. She raised $4,000, and the two vests cost $2,200, so she donated the remainder to Jackson County Animal Care and Control. Her late father was a Medford police officer who started the canine unit.
