spending a few days among bis Buckeye

trouble and friction. There was oil
ference OF opinion among Democrats as
IN the details OF the tariff measure. but
all agreed on the general principle. The

Pirates Capt Cook aud Pat Curtis had
trouble Monday night. In the after
noon Cook gave out that the yacht
Spray had been sold to llilo party and
that he would leave in her early this
morning 10 deliver her 10 her new
owners. Soon after he obtained per-
mission from Curtis, The Sprays real
owner, to sleep aboard the vessel the
second time since the Spray changed
hands about "A year ago About dark
Cook went aboard and to bed. after tell.
ing several parties, however, that he
would leave early in the morning.
Curtis was down town in the evening
and heard this report Ills first thought
was that Cook was after making of
with his boat. Hurrying home he soon
appeared at the water front in complete
disguise to shadow his friend aud part.

heavy overcoat, a slOuched hat aud a
pistol in each OF two pockets. As
Cooks light in the cabin of the boat
continued to burn until nearly mid
night, Curtis became more alarmed and
applied at the station house for guard
to assist him. Marshal Brown advised
the pirate to go aboard and sleep with
his partner, which he proceeded to do.
In the cabin the two mysterious men
began quarrel which came near end

were exchanged and threats were
mutual Finally, after midnight, Curtis
ordered Cook to be gone. lie left and a
big pistol watched him until he had
cleared the neighborhood.
The affair is peculiar one from the
fact that the men have always pulled

Curtis puts it 1--WE make or lose toge-

Water front solons believe that Cook
intended leaving in the yacht during the

not get the situation through Curtis

lob" is close to Oahu and it is probable
that Cook had been engaged.
