"Word" of Mr. Carroll's death, which became generally known in Portland yesterday, brought deep regret to many. He was known an a "clean fighter, ' a smiling, give-and-take op ponent, with a penchant for espousing forlorn hopes and carrying them through to victory. It was this quality, coupled with his fearless advocacy of what he Judged to e correct in principle and designed to dvance state and civic standards, that won for Mr. Carroll a host of friends and admirers, while gaining him the respect and liking of those, arrayed against him. First Job at Coal M1bs. He was born on June 15. 185. and his first Job was that of breakerboy in tne Pennsylvania coal mines. In an endeavor to raise funds for a college course he entered newspaper work as a reporter on the Evening Chronicle, of Pottsville, Pa., where one of his first assignments was to "cover" the noted Molly Maguire cases. As a student at the Pennsylvania Normal School, John Francis Carroll in tended to perfect himself for the voca- lon of teacher, but his heart was not in the work. Later he studied medicine at the Western Reserve University, of Cleveland, O.

In lkS4 Mr. Carroll left the cattle country and returned to the East, be coming a member of the Cleveland Leader staff. Later he was promoted to the city editor's desk. A few years later he became city editor of the Chey enne (Wyo.) Leader, and was a strong lance In the fight against Intolerable political conditions. His advocacy of fair play, while editor of the Cheyenne Leader, brought Mr. Carroll Into conflict with the cat tle barons, where his fearless attitude carried him safely through threats o murder. But the boycott promoted by the cattle barons produced its inevi table result, the Leader languished, while its editor fought to the last. Poor In purse, but rich in the certainty that he had altered conditions for the better, Mr. Carroll turned to Denver, where he took charge of the Post.
