Morning Oregonian October 14, 1904
C.E.Gaddis Believed to be Mentally Unbalanced

Brooks, were greatly surprised a few days ago when they rea din the Portland 
papers that a marriage license had been secured by C.E.Gaddis, authorizing his 
marriage to Miss Jones, and the explanation of the matter in today's Oregonian 
has brought out several new facts, which indicate that Gaddis is mentally 
unbalanced.
It is said that Gaddis met Miss Jones three or four years ago, while both were 
students at Corvallis, and ever since then he has tried to force his 
attentions upon the popular young lady at Brooks. Neither broad hints nor 
plain statements would suppresss him, but he assumed hte privelege of calling 
whenever he pleased, even at the home of friends where Miss Jones happened to 
be visiting.His conduct led to the conclusion that he was mentally unbalanced, 
but in order to avoid unpleasant notoriety nothing was done to compel Gaddis 
to cease his unwelcome atention.
Gaddis' action in procuring a marriage license without the knowledge or 
coonsent of the lady mentioned therein, will probably precipitate radical 
measures which will prevent further annoyance. Miss Jones is vy popular in 
Salem social circles. Gaddis is but slightly known here
