James Goodwin a well known citizen of the upper Molalla in Clackamas county, was found near the foot of the Cascade mountains, about three miles from his residence. The skull of the unfortunate man was found on examination to be fractured. It is supposed that Goodwin had considerable money on his person which undoubtedly tempted the cupidity of his murderer.

Clipping from Newspaper “In the hospital Newton Phillips died after an operation for ruptured ulcer. A letter received by T B and George Phillips, brother, of the late Newton Philips gives me more definite particulars of his death, and from which the Herald gathers the following information. As stated last week Mr. Phillips had purchased a stock of General Merchandise at Oregon City, Oregon, and he went there to take inventory of the stock. Mrs. Phillips and the children were visiting relatives in Columbia City, Oregon. Tuesday evening previous to his death, Mr. Phillips was taken with intense pain in the stomach and bowels accompanied with vomiting. A physician was called and the pain was relieved by opiates and the next morning he seemed better by Thursday when Mrs. Phillips, who had been telephoned at Columbia City came. The Dr. had decided that an operation was necessary although he stated that there was a chance in one hundred for his recovery. He was taken by boat from Oregon City to Portland where he was taken to St. Vincent’s Hospital for the operation. An incision was made over the appendix, which was found in normal condition, but the bowel was much inflamed. Another incision at the center of the abdomen revealed the cause of his illness and that the case was hopeless. A large ulcer had formed up on the upper part of the colon and had broken through into the abdominal cavity. Mr. Phillips was buried with Masonic honors Sunday May 8, 1904, Willamette Lodge 2 F&AM conducting the service, although far from home the family is among relatives and friends and kindly care and consolation is accorded them.” Clipping from Oregon City, Oregon A Sad Death
The funeral was conducted under the auspices of the Masonic Lodge from Finley undertaking parlors. A telegram from the Chapter of Eastern Star to which Mrs. Phillips belonged in Michigan expressing sympathy for the bereaved family was read during the services. The remains were laid to rest in Lone Fir Cemetery, Portland. Mr. Phillips had been in Oregon City but a few days, yet he had already made a host of friends by his kindly manner and gentlemanly bearings. The family has the heartfelt sympathy of all.” ©Mrs. Carole Dick |

THERE IS ONE
THUG LESS Outlaw Whose Hands Are Red with Three Men's Blood, Dies by the Bullet. Oregon City, Ore., May 2-Frank Smith, the desperado who killed Policeman Hanlon, of this place, last week, and who later killed Sheriff Shaver and Captain Henderson, of the Oregon national Guard, was killed in the woods south of New Era, Clackamas County. Smith was surprised in a thicket where he had hidden, and was shot through the head before he could use his own weapons. Harry Draper, of Spokane, one of the pursuing posse, had his two bloodhounds in leash, and they were leading him through the woods on the trail of the outlaw. The dogs led Draper within three feet of Smith, who was crouching behind a leg, before Draper saw him. "Are you Smith?" Draper demanded. "Yes," was the answer, and as Smith made reply he attempted to draw his revolver from the inside of his coat. Draper was quicker with his own weapon and sent a bullet crashing through Smith's temple.

OREGON PIONEER PASSES AWAY Professor Daniel K? Halpruner a bass musician and dancing teacher died at Gladtidings Clackamas County Oregon September 8 of aneurism of the heart and dropsy. He was the twin and only living brother of Dr. W.S. Halpruner of Alameda Cal and brother of Mrs. Mary E. Stitzel of Portland Ore and Mrs. Caroline V. Jackson of Gladtidings Ore. Two daughters and a large number of nephews and nieces survive him. Professor Halpruner may well be called a pioneer of Oregon for he crossed the plains with his parents in 185- when little more than a year old. The family first settled in Clackamas county and during 1864 moved to Portland. At the age of 19 he became a powerful bass player. John Wilson the famous circus man engaged him for his band. Professor Halpruner traveled for four years to nearly every part of the globe. He was a large and powerful man and in his prime could life 1000 pounds. In 1874 he settled in Portland and became a famous bass musician and dancing teacher. When General Grant visited Portland in 1879 a grand banquet and ball was tendered him at the skating rink and Professor Halpruner possessing a powerful voice was selected to call for the ball. There were 1000 couples on the floor and fifty musicians to call against. He was a genial and generous fellow and could have had any political office he wanted but like his father and brother would not accept an office of any kind. He made barrels of money but spent it on very poor people saying that he could not take it with him when he died. He was born at Greenupsburg Greenup County Kentucky April 18 1851. Eight years ago he was given up by a number of Portland physicians they stating that he had aneurism of the heart and could not live six months longer. He went to his sister at Gladtidings. She notified his brother of his condition who although over 600 miles away rendered him such relief that he lived over eight years. During last June he took on a bad spell and called a local physician who said he had gone into dropsy and could not living very much longer. Thousands of his pupils and friends will mourn his loss.

ELDERLY MAN IS ACCIDENTALLY SHOT AND KILLED
John Marx, a resident of Clackamas Heights, was accidently shot and
killed Wednesday afternoon about 4 o’clock, and the body was found
by Mr. Rosenbaugh, an insurance man, at 5:15 when he called at the
place on business. Mr. Marx had been shooting moles in his yard and
was using an old shotgun that was in bad condition, the firing
mechanism being out of order. It is thought that he started to set
the gun down against a pile of wood, and the hammer was struck and
the gun discharged. The shot entered the left side of his face and
neck, and the jugular vein was severed, causing death almost
instantly. The shot was heard by neighbors but little attention was
paid to it as Mr. Marx had been shooting considerable of late and
also told a neighbor that he intended to shoot a chicken that day.
The deceased was 75 years of age and was born in Germany and
has lived in the United States for the past ?? years. He formerly
resided at Park Place, and his wife died there four years ago. He
moved to Clackamas Heights about a year ago and has since made his
home at that place with his two sons, Ralph and William.
Coroner Johnson was called but decided that an inquest would
be unnecessary. The remains are at the undertaking parlors of Brady
& Co., and the funeral will be held Friday.
