PEACE CORPS SS
Peace Corps volunleers
have a tradition of sharing
their knowlege and skills with
the people of the developing
nations. They’re individuals
who combine a special sense of
adventure with a desire to help
other people.
Former volunteers will
confirm that two years in the
Peace Corps can mean per
sonal growth, cross-cultural
experiences, and a sense of
satisfaction found nowhere
else. It isn’t easy, and it isn't
for everyone, but since 1961
nearly 100,000 Americans
have made the commitment
and found it to be one of the
central events in their lives.
Our representatives will
be pleased to discuss with you
the opportunities beginning in
the next 3-12 months in
Africa, Asia, Latin America,
and the Pacific.

Man jailed
after siege
COTTAGE GROVE — A
26-year-old man reportedly
distraught over marriage
troubles was charged with at
tempted murder Monday after a
90-minute siege in which more
than two dozen gunshots were
fired from a downtown Cottage
Grove tavern.
Cottage Grove police iden
tified the man as Brad Belcher,
who recently had moved to Cot
tage Grove from the Coos Bay
area.
The incident ended when the
man left the tavern and shot
himself in the head with a
.357-magnum pistol. Police
dispatcher Robin Herman said
the bullet only grazed Belcher's
forehead. He was treated for a
minor head wound before be
ing taken to the Lane County jail
in Eugene.
Police received a report from
a patron at The Grove Tavern
shortly after 1:30 p.m. saying a
man had entered the tavern
with a gun. Police responded as
shots were fired inside the
tavern.
"I heard him hollering and he
said he just wanted to kill
himself,” said Linda Cooper, a
tavern employee. "Not two
minutes later I heard two shots
and left the building."
Police evacuated everyone
from the tavern and from sur
rounding businesses and cor
doned off the area. In a news
release, police said Belcher had
telephoned a family member
and said he was going to com
mit suicide.
Police said the man refused to
come out of the tavern and fired
26 shots into buildings across
the street over the next 1 Vi
hours. No one was injured.
At 3 p.m., the man left the
front of the tavern, fired three
or four shots into the air, then
shot himself in the head, police
said.
"He stood on the street, then
he opened his arms up, holding
the gun off to one side," said
Laura Hall, a news reporter for
KNND radio who witnessed the
conclusion of the incident. "At
that point, he shot himself once
in the head, staggered forward,
and attempted to shoot himself
a second time. At that time he
fell to his knees, and then fell
forward to the pavement."
Police said the man had been
involved in a marital dispute in
Coos Bay.
Gunmen kill
Colombian
BOGOTA, Colombia — Justice
Minister Rodrigo Lara Bonilla
was assassinated Monday by
two gunmen on a motorycle
who shot him as his car slowed
because of heavy traffic on an
avenue in northern Bogota.
Although left-wing guerrillas
had launched a series of attacks
over the past two days killing
three policemen, there were in
dications Lara Bonilla may have
been murdered because of his
strong campaign against illegal
drug traffickers.
Lara Bonilla's bodyguards in a
trailing jeep pursued the
gunmen, killing one and captur
ing the other, according to of
ficials of the Administrative
Security Department. They did
not identify the slain suspect or
prisoner.
The officials said Lara Bonilla
was struck in the head three
times when the gunmen attack
ed at 7:30 p.m. as his limousine
moved slowly through traffic.
The chauffeur drove the
wounded Cabinet member to
the Shaio Clinic, where he died
10 minutes later.
Lara Bonilla had initiated an
energetic campaign against Col
ombia's multi-million-dollar
drug rings, and recent press
reports said he had received
death threats from the drug
gangs.
U.S. Ambassador Lewis Tambs
gave Lara Bonilla a bulletproof
vest because of the threats, but
the minister told reporters
recently that he rarely wore the
vest becuase it was uncomfor
table. He apparently was not
wearing the vest when he was
slain.
No group asserted responsili
ty for the murder.
Police link
murders
PORTLAND — Portland police
detectives are investigating the
possiblity that four killings over
the last 13 months in this city
may were committed by the
same person, authorities say.
Portland police spokesman
Dave Simpson and State
Medical Examiner William Brady
said Monday that the murders
may be linked, but there is no
firm proof yet to indicate they
are.
All four victims were black
women between 16 and 24 years
of age, three died as the result
of asphyxiation or strangling, all
of the bodies were found in
north Portland, and all were
street people.
Simpson said five homicide
detectives have been assigned
to the case. He said Portland
detectives are in communica
tion with the Green River Task
Force in Washington state but
there is no indication that the
two series of homicides are
connected.

Downs case

cisco attorney Melvin Belli has

ingfield woman accused of kill

fend Elizabeth Downs for a fee
