Sheriff Cook Says the Statement is a
Mistake.

Sheriff Cook has a few words to say
in answer to the statements made at the
Ministerial union yesterday. Sheriff
Cook said today: Il see by the State
Journal for Wednesday evening that L
am charged by Rev. Stewart Sheldon
with hampering Chief Stahps progress
in the enforcement Of the prohibitory
law The facts are that Chief Stahl has
never spoken to me on any subject since
being chief of police. 1 am as much in
favor of the prohibitory law as Chief
Stahl. There has never been a paper
put in my hands that / have not served
at once nor can there be any paper
placed in my hands that I will not serve
and no jointist ever has or ever will re-
ceive a tip from me-"
