Cave Junction wildfire — Up to 40 homes have been evacuated just south of Cave Junction due to a fast-growing wildfire in the area. The Oregon Department of Forestry said the fire originated on the south side of the Illinois River and has recently jumped the river and grown to 40 acres in size. It is starting spot fires out ahead of itself. Illinois Valley Fire District spokesman Jason Bayless said the fire was reported at about 1:30 p.m. behind the Illinois Valley Airport and the Rough & Ready Lumber mill. Its cause is under investigation. Bayless said 125 structures are threatened by the fire; it’s unclear how many of those are homes. So far, he said, no structures have been lost to the blaze.

Sex abuse trial rescheduled — A Lane County judge has postponed the sex abuse trial of prominent gay rights activist Terry Bean to give investigators more time to track down the alleged 17-year-old victim, who has gone into hiding. The trial is now scheduled for Sept. 1. Prosecutors requested the delay because authorities have not been able to find the teen and serve him with a subpoena. The teen’s attorney told prosecutors the boy had agreed to a financial settlement and did not want to testify. But a judge ruled criminal charges should be pursued. Court records show the teen and his mother stopped using cellphones and credit cards and disappeared in a car rented by a friend. The 66-year-old Bean and his former boyfriend, 25-year-old Kiah Lawson, are accused of sexually abusing the teen in 2013.
