COOKS LAST EXPLOIT.


Dan McCook, the guerrilla, bandit,
Ibighway-robber--or whatever you chose
to call him and neither Of these would
be a misnomer r)-bas been, ever since
his escape from this place, prowling
around through some OF the counties in
Eastern Kentucky, committing all sorts
Of depredations, such as horse-stealing,
pillaging. rObbing, and murdering.-
His last exploit occurred in Carter
county, few days since. With a
squad Of men, among them his brother,
who is also a somewhat noted guer.
rilla-he rode up to the house of Will
liam Tyree, deputy provost marshal
for Carter county, and called to him
to come out, saying they were Union
soldiers, and desired to see him on busi-
ness. Tyree opened the door, when
Cook drew a revolver and shot him,
the ball taking effect in his chest. The
wounded man fell outside the door, and
Cook rushed up to shoot again. Tyree
told him be would give him one hun
dred dollars il he would not shoot
again. Cook told him to hand out the
money, which be did, and then the
trescherous scoundrel again drew his
revolver TO finish the work OF DEATH
He attempted to shoot his victim the
second time, but was prevented by his
companions. The first shot, however
was q fatal one, and the unfortunate
man died soon after.
A man named Casky, who went out
with Tyree, was also shot. the ball
taking effect in bis thigh. H.
A terrible Tetribution awaits this man
Cook. He will surely be picked up"
one of these days. If be should fall
into the hands of loyal Kentuckians, he
would be disposed Of without judge or
Jury, or the benefit Of clergy. Since
the removal Of the 10th Kentucky reg
iment from Grayson, there are no
troops in that immediate neighborhood
to look after guerrilla bands.-Eonton
