Considerable mystery has sur
rounded the death of John Lawrence
Goodell, the crippled nlsht clerk,
who was Shot and killed at Angela
Hotel In Portlnnd April 25, by A. B.
Foster, a love-crazed druggist. Port
land papers state that young Good
ell was an orphan, was born at Sa
lem, and was the son of an Alaskan
judge.
A Courier reporter learns from
George M. Esterly, a prominent min
ing man of Waldo and who also has
extensive mining interests in Alaska,
some history concerning the deceas
ed hotel clerk's parents. According
to 'Mr. Esterly, who was well ac
quainted with the 'boy's father, the
lad was the son of prominent people.
His father went to Alaska a few
years ago as deputy collector of cus
toms, practiced law at Valdez, Alas
ka, and later, through the influence
of Mr. Esterly, became TJ. S. com
missioner at Cook's Inlet. In 1S96
he ,was county clerk of- Josephine
county, Oregon.
While in Alaska Mr. Goodell was
known as Judge Goodell. His health
failed him and about five years agt
he committed suicide at Sitka Hot
Springs, Alaska.
i John Lawrence Goodell's mother
was formerly iMiss Benson, daughter
of Frank W. Benson, who was secre
tary of state of Oregon and became
cx-officlo governor in 1909 by the
resignation of Governor Chamberlain
who was elected to the United State
senate. Benson was governor from
March 1, 1909, to June 17, 19!0.

About fifty people assembled at
the Chamber of Commerce roomsj
last night to enjoy the regular Mon
day dinner and to take steps Imme
diately to encourage the ' organiza
tion of a band for Grants Pass.
There was no speaking, 'but excellent
music was furnished by Carpenter's
orchestra.
At the close of the dinner Presi
dent Bramwell arose and announced
the purpose of the meeting. Jle stat
ed that there would be no speakers
and that the entire evening would be
spent talking "band."
The motion that the Chamber, of
Commerce support a band was car
ried unanimously and tt was decided
to finance the band by popular sub
scriptions. A committee for this
purpose was appointed and Is busy
today i colle-tlng the necessary
amount to start the organization,
which Is estimated to be about $300.
Grants Pass has the talent, and
there is no reason why this city
should not have one of the best
bands In the state. Many people are
contributing liberally. Show your
public spirit by getting behind the
movement and assisting a little In a
financial way. The list of those who
donate toward the support of the
band boys will be published In to
morrow's Courier. Will your name

DOUGHBOY FORGOT THE
BATTLEFIELD SERVICE
San Francisco, Apr. 29. During
the Chateau Thierry drive, a Y. M.
C. A. man, Secretary Lane, while
passing from bole to hole where the
American doughboys bad dug-ln
heard the cries of a wounded lad out
In No 'Man's Land. He crept out to
the spot and found a doughboy who
begged him to get some water. . It
was too rlBky to try to carry the boy
to safety. Lane crawlod back and
got the water. Then the boy asked
him to take the crucifix to the priest
and tiave him bless It and bring It
back. Lane was glad to do this ser
Recently, In the smoking compart
ment of a Pullman this same dough
boy was telling about his experiences
overseas. By some curious lapse of
memory he condemned the Y, M, C,
A.servlce in violent terms. When he
had finished fiocretary Lane asked
him If he romemuered a Y, M. C. A.
man risking his life to carry him a
drink of water' one night when lia
lay wounded In No Man's Land.
The doughboy replied that he did.
"I'm that secretary," repllod Lane
and the boy bung his head In shamo.
