[or-roots] Need help with newspaper research

I've never seen a request like this on here before but I'm hoping someone  
can help - or suggest another thing to try.
 
I have a subscription to GenealogyBank.com and have been having great fun,  
as well as great success searching historical newspapers for items about  
Junction City, Oregon. Yesterday I came upon one that is particularly 
important  to our history but it is only the first part of the article -- and 
nowhere could  I find to get the remainder. (Apparently when the newspaper was 
digitized, they  didn't do the jump.) Here is what I have from the "Morning 
Olympian" from 21  September 1895:
 
THE DEADLY SHOTGUN
Eugene, Or., Sept. 21. -- M. B. Pitney of Junction City, was
instantly killed today by the accidental discharge of a shotgun.
He took hold of the muzzle to draw it out of a wagon. The trigger
 
. . . . . and that is where the story ended. Can anyone help?
