Keokuk, June 27--John Cook. who
has for many years, resided near West
Point, in the county, and has borne
the reputation of prosperous farmer,
is missing from his accustomed
haunts and many contiding creditors
are left behind.
Investigations into Cooks financial
status indicate that his supposed pros
perity was mostly a myth. 1t has de-
veloped that Cook held deed to only
eighty acres of the farm of 200 acre,
finely improved which he occupied,
and that this eighty acres was carry
ing mortgage of $500. This was
Cooks only visible asset and his debts
aggregate some $4,000.
Cook was last seen on June 8, when
he left his home with team and light
spring wagon, saying that he was go
ing to Pennington and perhaps to
Missouri. The Sunday previous he had
shipped $50 head of cattle to Chicago,
and received from the sale $4,000 which
he pocketed. His continued absence
caused the investigation which has re-
vealed his real standing in the COM
munity. The team and horses which
he drove when leaving home are at a
Keokuk livery stable where he left
the IN, saying that he would call for
them later. 1t is supposed that he took
a night train out of Keokuk for parts
unknown.
Cook had been an extensive cattle
raiser and shipper. He had always met
his obligations promptly and his credit
was unlimited.

His creditors are, largely composed OF
farmers who reside in the southern
part of the county and who had every
confidence in the doctors ability to sue

large number OF these held notes
against the doctor In sums ranging
from $40 to $4,000. Others have signed
notes with him and will be compelled TO
nav them. Those OF the creditors who
held stock in the Chamberlain company
will realize something on their venture
probably about 20 per cent OF the prln-
cipal they put in, with no interest. Inc
franchise OF this company was SOLD TO
the Hamilton Independent Company

the concern are finally settled up they
will get some per cent of their principai

was found out that not one or TWO, pue

The plants maintained in this city ana
the other towns of the county gave very
poor satisfaction and were nothing as

the Webster City plant and gradually
the other plants, until nothing was lett

had been strung. The whole was sold
to the Hamilton County Independent

Dubuque June 27.--At their meeting
in the Germania hall Friday afternoon
the saloonkeepers did not reach an
agreement in regard to the question of
dispensing with the free lunch. The
subject was debated at length, but the
sentiment seemed to be in favor of
moving slowly, the measure being
looked upon as being radical
1t is desired to have all the saloons
to sign the agreement and until this is
done. it is believed that no action
will be taken. Consequently the ques-
ton was laid on the table until the
next meeting which will be in July.
a number of the saloon men were
of the opinion that the movement
against the lunch was ill-advised. They
asserted that instead of having the
saloonkeepers declare war on it volun-
tarily that it would be wiser to have
Mayor Berg issue an order condemning
the lunch as being contrary to the
mulct law.
