feeling was manifested by one or two OF

antness TO the pastor. He then rendered
his resignation. This at once called for q
meeting OF the mem Ders OF the parish to
act upon 1t, and with the exception of

accept it. Rev. Mr.. Stevens was prevailed
upon to stay, but as the same feeling
continues with those two or three he deems

"Elder "~Jonathan Cook Appears in
an UnbecOming Role.
A Saloon Keeper Thrashed I'm Place
Known as the "Mud Hole"

Elder Jonathan Cook, who figured
prominently In the Bakerville churcn
trouble some months ago, has made his
appearance before the public again. this
time In guise hardly becoming minister
OF the gospel. Some time ago Mr.. Cooke
purchased three houses near Centreville
Of Tucker d Kinne, paying q part OF the
purchase money down and as the houses
were in an uncompleted condition he
agreed TO finish them and his wages were
10 be allowed to go toward the payment
of the balance due on the property.
Tucker d Kinne held a mortgage on the
property and when the interest became
due Mr.. Cook was asked to pay 1t. This
he fatty refused to do, saying that his
work on the houses should go toward
paying.the interest as well as the pinci-
pie. As the mortgages could get no
satisfaction from the elder the
mortgage was foreclosed and
last Monday the property was sold at
publ auction. At first Mr.. Cooke laugh
ed at the sale but when he found that
the mortgages were in earnest he be-
came very wroth and In terms very un-
becoming to a minister OF the gospel,
expressed his In tention of taking Mr..
fuckers life. He was restrained from
dving.this at the time by bystanders and
Mr.. Tucker escaped unharmed. At first
he thought nothing of the affair but as
Mr.. Cooke still evinced a desire to bathe
In his gore he swore out o warrant for
the elders arrest, which was served last
evening by deputy sheriff James v.
Fish. Mr.. Cooke succeeded in securing
bail and the case will probably be aired
in the courts next week.
One of the Coventy saloon keepers who
figured In a shooting affair at Jericho
Iast'spring became engaged in a Drawl at
"mudhole, near Anthony, last Tuesday
evening; as result 1t will be some time
before he will be in a condition to make
his appearance in public. He became
engaged in quarrel with one of the in
mates of the place and when the pro-
prietor attempted to interfere he pro-
ceeded to chew his ear and hand In a
manner which would have done cedit to
a South Sea cannibsl. The landlord
succeeded in clearing himself from the
mans embrace and before the end of the
scrap gave him a whipping which must
have reminded him OF his boyhood days.
