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.

. ' . 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. . . '
