THE OREGON DAILY " JOURNAL, PORTLAND, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 4, 1903.' 1, V MM lil SMIf Qll'S IIEARf Love - Crazed Shooter of " Councilman Threatened , -. to Assassinate Others. : . ' : (Slem CureiU of Tta. Journal.) y ' Salem, Or,, June . Ben Stanton, the love-crased youth who shot Councilman J. F. Goods, Tuesday eyenlng as the lat ter was telephoning tp the police for tielp, was out on a murderous spree that evening, for lie,! threatened not only to shoot a friend, Roy Williams, but did shoot at and came perilously near wounding a boy named McDowell because ths latter would not. run. at Stanton's command.' ' ''" Stanton had been released by his em ployer, K. C. JCross, a butcher. Tues day afternoon. In order to collect his wages Stwaton started out to eo Man ager Hunter of the Cross market, who lives In Yew Park. He compelled JRoy "Williams, a friend, to go with him at the point of the gun, and said If he started to run he. would put a bullet through him. When they arrived near Hunter's- home they met young McDow ell, who had ben playing- baseball, and Stanton commanded him to run. which he did only, after 'Stanton had fired hot at(hlm. Thinks Stanton Craxy. .. ' Williams says that Stanton was un doubtedly crasy, for he said repeatedly that none of his relatives had better interfere with him that evening; or he . would, shoot them. Williams was so badly scared during ths walk to Yew Park that he could hardly stand up. He says, also , that . Stanton ' was 1 not drunk, but had been drinking some. - Stanton has put .up a plea of self defense. He says when be opened the door of the vestibule in the O. A. K. hall," where he shot Mr. Goode, that the latter grappled with him. and attempt ed to take his gun away. This does not agree with Mr. Goode's story of - the Affair, for Goods says Stanton shot Immediately upon opening the door and without giving any warning. This story Is borne out by the fact that all three- shots were fired from they aide, one entering; the cheek, the other two grazing the shoulder and abdomen, and were inflicted just as they s would have been, if Good were, standing; by the telephone i and Stanton were ., shooting from the Aoor. . t. i" -p. - . Attentions Voroeo, Stanton also, has said that Mrs. Beece, .Goode's granddaughter, whom he wished 1 to see at the Goods home, had promised to see him, and says that he was enraged because the Goodes would rot let him see her. The Goodes say that Stanton forced ; his , attentions on Mrs; Reeoe on the street, and later fol lowed. .her to. the home of, ths, elder Goods, where he demanded to see) her. He threatened to shoot everybody la the house -and would not allow- any body to step outside of the room. The Goods girls also say that Stanton did not appear to be very drunk' when he wss at the house. , L. It waswrhen J. T. Goode bad-stepped Into the vestibule of the G. A. R. hall to call for the "police that Stan-ton opened the door on him and fired ths shots that wounded him.-- . , .. Infatuated Wttb Woman. , " . . . -Stanton became Infatuated with Mr. Rsece when they wereaxhool children together in Salem, and when her nam was Miss Schsns. He. had sworn that she should never be the wife of .anoth er. Mrs. , Reece was married a shot time ago and had gone,, to Heppner to live. She came to SalRevto visit with her relatives last Saturday,,, ' . Stanton was taken Into custody by two deputies yesterday morning as he lay asleep on a couch Jn his brother's house. His revolver was reloaded and he was prepared to resist arrest. 1IBIIY BILL CARRIES STATE Big Majority in Multnomah Counteracts Negative Votes Elsewhere. - Complete returns from 105 precinct In Multnomah county give the Univer sity of Oregon appropriation bill a lead of 8,170 votes.'

' . By G. I W.. . . .. ! Madame Nordics has always been a figure of central interest to Americana She is their own prima doing, born in Maine of American parentage' and she has reached the top heights -of fame. 80 why should they not have a personal feeling of pride in her? But If they could once talk to her, once be entertained by her and allowed to feel ' her hosDitallty. her splendid womanhood, her sane viewjof life, her lack or rads, ner neaitny minaeanees, what novelists would call her glowing womanhood, they would pronounce her more than ever their own. For Madame Nordics is an - American not only In birth but In self. She pulsates with Interest In the things that are interest ing the American publio generally. She is interested la country life: she is In terested in questions of labor and capi tal; in the solution of socialistic prob lems and In woman's suffrage. Of; the latter she Is a stanch champion, and In her generous manner she says, "Women UKS us wno nave 10 earn moir livings must see that this is Justice." - : And in the great wealth and resources of the western country she Is intensely Interested.'.-..- ' I always come through here- on my private car and I see nothing of the 'ountrv," she ald. "But now I have been in the midst of its life and have 11 ktuuyinv nature at close ranee. When my friend told me a short time ago that he was leaving New York to go to a ranch in Idaho I asked to go along. And he said yes, not thinking I meant it, and then he had to take me because I Insisted. And It is so inter esting to go through the wheat fields and to And nests in the haystacks and to live In a room with a chicken Incu bator with little chicks hatching out to the phonographic strains of , 'Lead, Kindly Light Very appropriate that seemed to me to see light first to that tune.. I have heard of many things done to the acoompanlment of muslo, but never that before." - Madame Nordlca, by the way. Is the last of the great singers to come to hav ing records made of the voice She has submitted and they are now being made. , : , .. with an Injured expression she goes on to teu now tne messenger rrom Misses Steers and Coman found her on a haystack; how he loomed up in the horlson waving something .wildly about nis neea, ana now ens looked for a horse pistol wnen she saw his chaps; but it was only a telegram. And then, and only then, were her neighbors per suaded that she was the real Nordlca, as he 'literally dragged me down from the haystack with orders to bring me dead or alive." And when you ask her where she was she says neither she nor any one else knows, but she was hover ing about the borderland between Idaho and Oregon. . - j ... And she has many anecdotes to tell of the cats that scared her at night; of the pups that chewed her and for which she put cake on her window ledge, and she proudly shows three targets which she hit so close to the . bullseyes that she expects to keep them forever as' a testimonial of ' her first shooting. Yes, madam e surely enjoyed her , country life. . . ' Twenty exciting rnr, ' f iv 1. races. Greatest gathering ( ur ?.. Ie4es, 124 contestant. CVnt rimmi-i-ships. Multnomah fluid, b.tiur.tav. j i 6.
