THEY SOLD THE RIG.
Whiskey Gets Brad Cook and Dan Wilson

Whiskey when imbibed with indis-

Friday telling him he wanted it to
take his wife to Greenville, but in
stead drove there alone and took in
one Dan Wilson and together the
two drove to Grand Rapids. They put
up at the Commercial barn and pre-
tended TO be horse traders. After
much bantering they succeeded in
trading the horse they had hired to G.
l.. Wonch, manager of the barn, for an
old skate OF horse and got So "to
boot" They hitched the horse into
their buggy and started away, but
soon returned and tried to sell the
horse back TO Wonch, together with
the buggy, whip and robes, for $50.
He wouldn't buy the horse, but gave
them $40 for the buggy aud robes and
they threw the horse in. He gave
them SO in money and his note for
thirty days for the other 80. When
they did not return with the horse as
agreed, Mr. Fales telephoned to neigh
boring towns, and the officers in Grand
Rapids were not long in finding the
rig.
Cook came home Saturday night
walking in from Greenville, and was
nabbed by Deputy Sheriff Knott just
as he was going into his house. He
was placed in the lookup to await the
arrest of Wilson when complaint
for larceny will be made against them.
Mr.. Fales went to Grand Rapids and
recovered his rig Tuesday, and found
that Cook and Wilson had been hav-
ing a big time so long as their money
held out. Cook is we'll educated but
his besetting sin is strong drink.

GUILTY OF MURDER.
Wesley Bennett VIII 20 up For Life-kili-
Ing of Walker Was Murder I'm
First Degree.

The arguments in the Bennett case
Monday were all made at O'Clock,
and at $3.50 Judge Davis had charged
the jury and sent them TO the jury
room. At 7 o'clock they came into
court for instructions and returned at
S:45. They came in once more and
asked relative to the first and second
degree, and were sent back. The jury
at this time asked the judge to give
them 10 minutes in which TO attempt
to agree. He did so, and at 907 they
came into court. In response to the
question the foreman said they had
agreed what is your verdict" ask
ed the court. "Murder in the first
degree" There was murmur over
the court room, crowd being still on
hand, but neither Bennett or his two
sisters, who were with him, flinched in
the least The convicted murderer
was then ordered into the custody of
the sheriff He coolly kissed his Sis
ters and was led away to await SEN
tence. There was no demonstration
whatever Prosecutor Chaddock was
freely congratulated, and the affair
which has stirred the entire commun-
ity was at an end. Mr.. Nichols will
probably move for new trial.
Judge Davis gave him his sentence
Tuesday afternoon at | o'clock and the
announcement drew a large crowd.
Bennett was called to the bar OF the
court promptly at the above hour. In
response to the question as to whether
he had anything to say, he simply and
in a low voice replied, "no sir" Judge
Davis then said it was the saddest duty
he had ever been called upon to per-
form, but thought the condemned man
had bad every opportunity for his de-
fense He then sentenced him to soli-
tary confinement at hard labor at Jack
son for the period of his natural life.
Bennett, unmoved, took his seat and
a moment later was taken back to Jail.

After giving reasons for desiring to

remains to listen to the stories of his
