Well -Known Newspaperman
Succumbs to Long Illness.
MANY FRIENDS TO MOURN
Life One of Varied Achievement,
From Breaker Boy in Coal Mine
to Publisher of Dally Newspaper-Fair
Play Championed.
John Francis Carroll, publisher of
the Evening Telegram, and one of the
est-known newspaper men of the Pa
cific Northwest, died at his home, 576
East Fifteenth street North, at 1 o'clock
yesterday morning, after an illness of
several months.
"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.
As a reporter ;.- was employed or the
Missouri Republican, of St. Louis, and
was attached to the staff of. a dally at
St. Joseph. Mo., -t a time vhen the
late American poet, Eugene Field, also
was a reporter cn the same paper. In
1S&0 and 1SS1 Mr. Carroll was city edl.
tor of tne Omaha Bee.
Cowboy Life La'ts Three Years).
Life in the early West was numbered
among the experiences -f his varied
life, when he became a Texas cowboy
In 1882, riding the rar,-e for three
years, and known to his companions of
the cattle camps as "Dogie John."
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.
In Denver he became the patron of

and zealous application that had for
its goal the ideal of civic improvement.
