MOB DIsPosEs OF BAD MEN.
Three Missouri Desperadoes Said to
Have Been Quietly Drowned.

Poplar Bluff, Mo, Aug. 2O.-A story
of mob law coming from Portageville,
Pemiscot county, concerns the mys-

a noted gambler, who for a number of
years has been a terror to the authorl-

companions.
Cook and his companions went to
Portageville recently and attempted to
run things to suit themselves. One
night last week the three disappeared.
1t is said that the citizens, becoming
incensed, secretly banded together, ar
rested the trio and, taking them to the
Mississippi, drowned them. The story
lacks confirmation.
