JOHN ADAMS GRAN. NEAR Man Who Claims to Have Been Wronged Shoots and Probably Fatally Injures Brother-in-law Whom He Sus pected of Interfering in His Domestic Affairs. GRAN, THE VICTIM, Deputy Sheriff Fred Stewart and Dr. George E. Houck Leave For the Scene of the Tragedy Shortly Afternoon To day Fugitive Said to be Heading in the , Direction of Coos County. iii:adi;i for koskiu'rg. JOHNSON'S STAGE STA TION, 4:30 p. m. It Is believ ed here that John Adams has changed his course and is now headed In the direction of Rose- burg. It is also believed he will be overtaken by he officers who are beating the brush along the roadway.. Gran, the injured man. Is very low, but notwithstanding the attending physician entertains slight hope of recovery. "I have threshed that fellow be fore and I can do It again" were the Inst wordB spoken by, John Adams as he left Roseburg on this morning's stage for Reston, where at noon today he shot and probably fat ally Injured Paul Gran, a brother- in-law, who resideB on the Hartman ranch, about a mile beyond A. V. Johnson's stage station on the old Coos Bay road. , According to the story told by .Mr. Johnson over the telephone late this afternoon, Adams arrived at Reston shortly after 10 o'clock this morning where he alighted from the stage under the pretense of visiting at the Arnold and Beasley mill. In stead of going to the mill as ap parently intended, however, Adams awaited until the stage was out of sight when he continued his Journey up the mountain afoot. Arriving at Johnson's stage station .the "would be" murderer hesitated for a few minutes when he resumed his trip to the Hartman home a mile be yond. Upon his arrival at the ' latter abode, it Is claimed that Adams ac cused M. E. Hartman, a brother-in-law, of Interfering In his domes tic affairs. Hartman Is said to have resented this accusation whereupon Adams whipped out a 32-callbre re volver and commenced to shoot. In all three shots were fired at Hartman, none of which took effect. Witnessing the trouble from a dls? lanre, Paul Gran, another- brother-in-law, rushed to Hartman's assist ance with the result that he was llii-l through the lung by Adams who stood with the smoking weapou still la hand. As the last, and proo ably the fatal shot rang out. Gran fell to the ground unconscious, a wound from which blood flowed free ly fut.iishing mute evidence of the tragedy that had been enacted. V.'ithout awaiting to assist bis i.,ort'i'ly wounded brother-in-law, Adviis then started along the coun ty road; In the direction of C-xn ccunty, only to be over-taken and shot a, by Hartman. Fortunate'.'. Ilnrtman's aim was untrue and none of the shots took effect. Immediately following the shoot In.; Oran was carried Into the lit home where he was given such re lief as was possible pending the transmission of news of the affair to Roseburg. As soon as word was received here regarding the shooting, Deputy Sheriff Fred Stewart and Dr. George E. Houck left for the scene In an automobile. According to a SHOOTS L RESTON. TODAY WILL PROBABLY DIE telephone message received late thlB afternoon Dr. Houck Is at the bed side of the Injured man, while Dep uty Sheriff Stewart 1b following the fugitive who is believed to be en route for Cooa county. While Dr. Houck had been unuble to determine the extent of the wound at three o'clock this afternoon, he intlmnted that chnnces of recovery were slight. Upon local investigation here this afternoon It was ascertained that Adams, who is about 30 yearB of age and a veternn of the Spanish American war, was at one time an Inmate of the Oregon Soldiers' Home, In West Roseburg. It was while house I 'nx that institution that Adams' became acquainted with Mrs. Nelson, a hard-working woman and a daughter of Mrs. Hartman, who lives on the ranch where the tragedy was enacted. After a brief courtship Mrs. Nelson and Adams were married, and for a time resided in a cottage near the home. Later they moved to Portland where they Intended to lease a rooming house. It was while residing In the latter city that the domestic affairs of the couple became disagreeable, flnnlly culminating In the return of Mrs. Adams to the home of her mother, Mrs. Hartman, near Restons. It Ib claimed that the separation occur red about two months ago, or at least It was about the middle of April when Mrs. Adams left Rose burg for Reston following her re turn from the Oregon metropolis. AdaniB remained in Potrlnnd for a time following his wife's departure for homo, when he became des pondetft and moved to Eugene. There he remained until yesterday when he arrived In Roseburg. Late last night he visited the Nevada rooming ihouse, conducted by Mr. and Mrs. George Rapp, where he registered under the assumed name of "G. Nicholas". At the time he registered he said ho had arrived In town on train No. 17, shortly before midnight, and desired to be awak ened In time to take the Btage for Marshfield. , Mr. Rapp called the fellow shortly after five o'clock this morning and a few minutes Inter he appeared In readiness to undertake the journey. When asked for bis stage fare, Adams said he had changed his mind, and Instead of proceeding to Marshfield, had decid ed to alight at Reston. Although ap parently In the best of spirits he talk ed considerably, and among other things remarked: "I have threshed that fellow before and I can do It again." . Mr. Rupp paid no atten tion to the declaration at the time, neither did ho Jully realize !the meaning of the statement until this afternoon when ho was Informed of tho shooting. In view of the fact that Adams ar rived here yesterday pnd -after a night's sleep- went directly to the home of his former wire, It Is be lieved by the officers, substantiated by statements of people residing In ho vicinity of the crime, that he fully Intended to murder those whom he suspected of separating him from his wife. In fact, It is claimed that he told friends upon numerous orcas loni that his brother-In-laws, M. K llatrman and Paul Oran were res ponsible for the unrest of his wife which eventually culminated in ber PAU return to the parentlal home. As near as can be ascertained here this afternoon, Adams was admitted to the oldiors' Home upon the pre sentment of documents substantiat ing his claim of being a veteran of the Spanish-American war. Al though a young man of 30 years be was quite badly crippled, and as a result, his escape (s deemed im probable. In the event Adams la captured by Deputy Stewart this afternoon he will be returned here tonight in Dr. Houck'8 automobile. Further details of the shooting will not be obtainable prior to the arrival of the officer this evening. In order to block all avenues of escaiH), a telegram was sent to Sheriff Gage, of Coquille City, this after noon, with Instructions to keep a lookout for AdaniB who Is apparent ly enroute to the coast. The Hartman home is Bltuated In one of the most isolated sections of Douglas county, and lnl an ideal spot for the successful commission of a crime. In either direction from the home the country Is thickly wooded, thus allowing n fugitive ample opportunity to eBcape. Not withstanding this, however, the of ficers hope to erfact Adams' capture beforo nightfall. In speaking of Adams lato this af ternoon, George W. Rapp, In whose rooming house the fellow spent last night, said that he acted very ner vous, and In a conversation Bald he was desirous of reaching 1 is destina tion early.
