THE COOK GANG AGAIN.
Two OF Them Loot u Town. killing One
Man and WoundIng Another.

COFFEYVILLE, KAN, November g.
Two Of the Cook gang plundered the town
of Lenapah, !. T.. and left bloody trail
behind them this afternoon. They entered
the town In their character OF bold
bandits. without any attempt at conceal
ment. and terroriZed the citizens until
they carried out their plans of robbery.
Mr.. Melton, a brave young man, VINO
attempted to stop them with his gun when
they were riding away, was shot ana IN
stantly killed. Another man, whose name
cannot be learned tonight. is reported TO
have been seriously wounded. Both OF
the victims were with small force OF
citizens, who hastily armed themselves
and attempted to prevent the escape of
the bandits.
The robbers were mounted on fast
horses. and were heavily armed. Some
OF the citizens claim TO have recognized
them as Cherokee BIZ and Jim French.
well-known lieutenants OF BIZ COOK. the
The robbers held up the proprietors OF
two stores and looted both places. They
also robbed the post-ofiice. John Shufeit,
the proprietor OF one store, was relieved
OF 500 in money and a gold watch. These
articles were taken from his person. Mr..
Shufslt proclaimed his loss TO the town
before the robbers had finished their work,
and the band OF citizens was almost be-
tween them and their horses when the
robbers went to mount. An effort was
made to stop them, but they were on
horseback, with drawn pistols. and were
fiying before their would-be captors could
make concentrated move. Merton was
more rash than the others. and met death
in consequences.
The news, as It reaches this city. does
not state in what manner or how Sc
riously the second victim was injured. i,
A report says the bandits are headed
for Coffeyville, which Is only fifteen miles
from Lenapah. This place is the scene or
many tragic robberies, and the Police De-
partment. with volunteers. Is prepared 70
meet them I'm the same way they met
the Daltons two years ago, when almost
the entire band was wiped out.
