years since, and attained prominence as
the resort of anglers. Captain Markale,
resident of West Newton, said tsia
morning: ssThere is an almost incredi,

as the body of Mrs. Cook was found
weighted down with about 100 pounds

containing the alleged murderer is in the
same yard. There is some talk of lynch
ing, but the officers are confident that
they can control the crowd. The well
is to be searched for further Bodies.
Some think that the well has been used
for hiding place for other crimes than
this. A man named Frank Malone dis
appeared mySteriouSlyi from Gays, SIX
miles west of here about three

The Coroner'ss Jury rendered verdict
charging Daniel Cook with the murder OF
his wife, Sarah Cook. Up to this hour
there have been no demonstrations OF
mob law, although the police report that
this afternoon the colored miners,
before coming. up from the coal mine,
took an oath to take Cook out of the jail
before morning, not to lynch him, but to
rescue him from the clutches of the law.
He has been turned over to the County
Sheriff and will be taken to Charleston

York. They organized clubs and made
collections weekly for party purposes, in
Guiding the purchase of arms. In
March, 1888, they held three secret sit
tings, when the assassination of the EN-
peror was. discussed, and this they re-
solved to accomplish by means of bombs
