OUTLAW BILL COOK CAPTURED.
Deputy Marshal Perry Takes Him With
out Resistance by the Murderer.

Deputy Marshal Perry Takes Him with
out Resistance by the Murderer.
CARTHAGE, n. NJ, Jan. 14.-Advices
over the military line from here to
Fort Stanton announce the capture of
the noted outlaw Bill Cook. There are
no details of the arrest beyond
the fact that c. c. Perry, deputy
marshal, effected the capture. 1t is
said United States troops were en-
ployed to assist the civil officers. The
arrest was made in the early dawn
without any resistance on the part
of the murderer, who was expected
to make a desperate fight for
his life. The deputy had been
on the trail for some time and was
instrumental in diverting suspicion
by circulating false reports of his
operations. 1t was currently stated
that Perry was looking for his man in
the Pan Handle and down on the east
ern end of the Maxwell land grant,
while in fact he was hot on the trail of
the fugitive. He spent over three
weeks in the saddle, with scarcely an
escort, only few trusted aids.
The outlaws capture was effected at
III lSOldIeu CdII1e rdAcl Ol Lhe brSdl
Plains, few miles southeast of old
Port Sumner. Perry and two depu-
ties were in search of horsethieves
wh>n they met and recognized
Cook at first glance. Quicker than a
fash Perry and his men had their
Winchesters up, and Cook was SO thor
oughly surprised that he lost his
nerve, and although he had two six
shooters about his waist his hands
went up at the command of the sheriff
handouts were put on his wrists and
he was mounted and strapped on his
ewn horse, which was found on the
plains near cabin. One led the ami
NAL while Sheriff Perry and his Other
deputy rode behind them. Thus ths

a SAD STORY.
Extreme DestttutIon Drives n Nebraska
Couple to Suicide.

PAXTON, Neb., Jan. 15.-This COM
munity was startled Monday morning
by reports brought In by neighbors
that John Harris and his wife, Ida,
were found dead at their home,
8 miles southwest of here. The
coroner was at once notified and
repaired to the place, where n horrify-
ing state of affairs was discovered
Mrs. Harris was lying on the bed en-
tirely nude, with her throat cut from
ear to ear, and the bed clothing satu-
rated with blood. John Harris, the
husband, was found lying on the floor
near the foot of the bed, with his
throat likewise cut.
The coroner at once empaneled a
jury, and from Investigations made it
appears to be a case of premeditated
suicide, the deed being done with a
razor, which was found lying on the
floor. 1t was discovered that Mrs.
Harris had partly given birth
to a child, and it is supposed
that Harris gave her the razor
and she cut her own throat while
lying on the bed, he doing like Use inn
mediately afterwards Harris had evil
IDENTIFY walked or crawled to the door
and stepped outside after cutting his
throat, as bloody trail was found on
the doorstep. The motive of their deed
was doubtless their destitution. The
following letter was found written by
Harris in very clear hand:
Dear Old Parents: We have decided to end
our lives together. Ida took sick before day
| light and IL Is O'ClOrk no
throat and am about to cut mine. 1 woult
give the world to see my poor old parents; II
seems like year since saw any of my folks

Widespread Suffering Marks the seventh
Anniversary of the Great Blizzard
OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 12.-The ther-
mometer stands at Is below zero. The
advance of the freezing blasts marks
the anniversary of the great Nebraska
blizzard, which occurred just seven
years ago to-day. This is Nebraska's
severest weather, and there are well
grounded fears it will have terrible
effect in the portions of the state where
destitution reigns supreme and fuel is
confined to dried grass and other less
substantial material. Thousands of
people in Nebraska are reduced to the
extremity of keeping soul and body to-
gether in this manner. But the stock,
what little the famine has left, will
be the great sufferers. In many
places in the state fine, hard snow ac-
companies the frightful wind and
drives the cattle before it like leaves.
No living thing unprotected can live in
that blast, and all stock which fails to
secure shelter will perish.

SLAIN BY THIEVES.
An Aged Ohio Farmer Brutally Murdered
In His Home.


COLUMBUS, o., Jan. IA most cow
ardly and atrocious murder was COM
mitted near Dublin, ten miles north of
here, about Z o'clock Friday evening,
the victim being James Jamison,
well-to-do farmer, aged 80 years,
While Mr.. Jamison was at supper with
with his family loud rap came on the
rear door, and Mr.. Jamison answered
the call. When he opened the door,
he was confronted by two masked men,
who covered him with revolvers and
demanded his money. The old gentle
man thrust his hands into his pockets
and drew forth some coin, part
of which dropped on the floor.
About this time the farm
hand and other members of
the family came forward and one of
the robbers covered them with his re-
volver and ordered them to retire. AL
most at the same time there was
a loud report and Mr.. Jamison
fell to the floor dead with bull
let in his head. Then the outlaws
hastily went through his pockets,
securing about eight dollars. Just as
they had finished searching him a
third man, who was stationed on the
outside of the house, gave signal and
the murderers hastily departed with
out searching the house. They came
in the direction of this city. The police
have a good description of the two men
who were in the house.

CONTRIBUTED SCRAPS.

Written for the LIGHT
Decision of character and ener-
gy of will are indispensable to the
attainment Of permanent great
ness and fame.
Without decision Of character
and energy of will, the most splen-
did abilities and the most ALIEN
bracing knowledge are well nigh
barren and useless.
What a world this would be, il
each man and woman was Animal
ed and guided, daily, by the senti-
ment embodied in these lines OF
the poet:
"Count that day lost,
Whose low descending sun,
Views at thy hand
No worthy action DONE"
Selfishness narrows our vision,
dries up our hearts, dwaris our
natures, and destroys our happi-
ness.
Politics have degenerated into a
trade, with no higher object in
view than that continuing in Office
by hook or by crook.
"Do harm to no one" was the
sum and substance of the moral
code of Rosseau, but it should also
have said "do all the good in your
power to your fellow beings"
Justice charity and mercy should
never be divorced.
Fellow feeling is the highest
evidence of humanity of heart.
The breed of statesmen is al
most extinct, but the number OF
politicians is increasing rapidly.
1t is no proof Of courage to "get
the drop" on man and to shoot
him down like a dog. The MUIR
derer is in no sort OF danger and
he knows it.
Insulting and indecent language
to women cannot be too severely
punished.
