The Cooperstown courier. (Cooperstown, Griggs Co., N.D.) 1902-1913, 1904-10-20


Big Nit Johnny, of the Hanna
ford Enterprise, says he was
offered $3.50 for his support by
Mr.. Friswold. Now if Mr.. Fris-
void was like Tufte he would be
threatened with q libel suit right
away. No sane man would offer
such a fabulous sum for the sup
port of Arbogast-it would be
secured for 13 cents which is just
that amount too great for the
support of newspaper abortion
like the Enterprise.

ALL DEMANDS ARE GRANTED
Ransom Fund for Perdicaris and Var
ley Has Been Sent to
Raisuli.

Washington, June 20-A cablegram
received at the state department from
Consul General Gummere, at Tangier,
in confirming the press report that the
sultan had agreed to all of Raisuli's
terms, adds that the mose y ransom, $685.
900, was to be paid over Saturday. Mr..
Gummere expressed grave doubt as to
the advisability of making this payment
before Perdicaris and Varley were &C
tually released and safely returned to
Tangier. Based on past experience, it
is feared that Raisuli is not to be de-
pended upon and that, once he has the
money in hand and still controls the
prisoners, he will make fresh demands.
However, nothing more can be done at
this stage, according to Mr.. Gummere,
and the state department will await the
conclusion of this last attempt to free
the prisoners.
