Years Shot at Hecla Satur-
day by Frank Cook
UNDER PECULIAR CIRCUMSTANCES

y Miss Johnnie Cook, of Hecla,
aged 30, who has been masquer-
aiding as a man until a few years
ago, was shot by Frank Cook
Saturday between l and 2
o'clock. The wound was at first
thought to be fatal and ply,
stefan was hastily summoned.
Thinking she had only short
time to live she asked that a
warrant of arrest be issued for
Frank Cook who had been living
with her and who was to have
married her on Tuesday, July
25th. The affidavit is as follows:
This evening between l and 2
O'Clock Frank Cooks brother. Char
lie, came here to my house to see
Frank. They had a talk and after
Charlie left Frank seemed 20 think
was mad at him and / told him /
was not. After little we began
talking over some other matters and
he seemed to get mad and we had a
struggle. He made an attempt to
get his pistol out of his pocket and /
grabbed hold of his hand and held
it IN his pocket. He dragged me
into the kitchen and while we were
still struggling / saw jug and was
reaching for it to defend myself.
When he saw me bend over for the
jug he shot, the ball going in just
below the heart. AS soon as he fired
/ screamed, Frank, you have kill
ed me-" / then tried to get back in
the other room, but fell in the door
way. He came back and picked me
up and carried me to cot. l had
my pocketbook in my bosom and he
asked me for it. / said, Eyes, you
can have it." He then went to his
trunk, took out his best suit of
clothes, leaned over and kissed me
and said, "Good bye, sweetheart"
His brother Charlie lives in Spring
field, Tenn, and had just come over
to see Frank. have known Frank
Cook about year this coming Octo-
Der. He has been living here with
me. We are not married, neither
are we related. He shot me without
any provocation.
After the shooting Frank Cook
left for parts unknown and has
not yet been ARE sted.

MINERS
OVERCOME
Twenty Succumbed to Gas at
'DeanfieId. Rescued by Fell
low Workmen.
SECOND MISFORTUNE IN ONE WEEK,

Greensboro, KY, July 20 =
Twenty miners were overcome
by gas in a mine of the Dean
field Coal Company, near Dean
field, this morning. The gas
accumulated imperceptibly and
most of the miners in that part
of the mine where the accumu-
lation was heaviest, were unable
to walk when the condition of
the mine was discovered by those
at work IN other parts. They
were carried from the shaft by
those who had escaped the eff
fects of the gas. Several of the
men are in a critical condition.
Cal Simms was the most serious
ly injured and there is little hope
of his recovery.
This is the second misfortune
to happen to the Deanfield Coal
Co., in five days. On the Sun
day morning previous to the gas
accident the store of the com
panyswas burned with loss of
so, 900, insurance $4,000.

WHO'S COT
THE BUTTON?
Chicago Employees Say Their
Teamesters Must Not Wear
Union Badge.
NO MORE STREET BLOCKADEs. :
STRIKE Off AND MEN ASKING
REINSTATEMENT.

Chicago, July 21.-The union
button and the street blockade
against non-union drivers, pop
ularly looked upon as cardinal
principles Of the transfers
union, will no more be tolerated
by any firm that has been affect.
ed by the strike just ended, il
resolutions adopted by the en-
ployers at meeting today are
carried out. Representatives OF
every branch of industry affect
ed by the strike pledged them
selves to stand for the ''open
shop" and to enforce the rules
put into effect by the Employers
Association members severa
weeks ago.
reamster strikers, who last
night gave mp their long struggle
against the employers, broke
ranks today in a stampede for
work. The barns Of the strike
affected firms were besieged by
men who have been idle for
months, and whose places have
been filled by non-union men.
The employers in many cases
announced that there were va
cancies for only a few. OF more
than 1000 men who quit work
not more than /, 400 or 1850 will
be reinstated- during the next
few days.
Nearly every one of the .strik-
ers atithe department stores fled
applications for reinstatement.
In many cases the men were put
to work Immediately. At one
store a number of men who
0beyed che order TO strike stood
in line today and signed appli-
cations forfeitlng their right to
wear bultons of their union ex-
posed.
The express companies, who
fought their battle virtually
alone and apart from the others,
are not to take back any of their
former employees.
Police protection Will not be
withdrawn for few days at
least, as clashes between non
union men and unionists are
feared when the latter return to
work.

STATE OF KENTUCKY MAY
BUY RAILROAD BRIDGE.
Old Illinois Central Bridge Over Cum
berland River at GIbertsvilIe.

The project of the State of
Kentucky buying the old Tenn
essee river bridge of the Illinois
Central, near Gilbertsyille, KY,
for foot and wagon bridge, is
being discussed by a number of
persons interested, but nothing
has been done thus far, except
the exchange of a few letters
with State officials bearing on
the subject, says the Paducah
News Democrat.
1t has been suggested by many
who are thoroughly conversant
with the subject, that this bridge
could be bought by the State for
perhaps $4,000 or 100000
tenth of what it would cost to
build any kind OF "a new bridge
the tracks could be removed and
the structure floored and thus
converted into as strong foot
and wagon bridge as any IN the
State.
1t is probable, however, that
the next Legislature in January
may be asked to appropriate
money enough to buy the bridge
for the State.

bureau of statistics show increased
grain receipts for the month Of April,
if contrasred with similar arrivals for
corresponding month in 1904. While
gains were also indicated for March
by like comparison, the losses sus-
tanned in January and February were
SO heavy as to cause the total grain
receipts for the first four months Of
1905 to fall greatly below those for a
similar period in 1904.
At twelve interior primary markets
the total inbound grain movement ag-
gregated 34,590,526 bushels in contrast
with similar movement Of 81, 1924, 1s9
