XEVS Of MINNESOTA,
Fight With MtAdI Beast.

6 Z & r - e
Mankato James Mullen, overseel
Of the county poor farm, tells Of Ia
thrilling adventure that he had with
strange animal that he and two other
men discovered in a cave on the bank
Of the lie Sueur river. 5ss&
With his hired man, Tom Jones, and
George Folsom, he was walking along
the bluff at about dusk, when they
discovered the cavern, about the
mouth of which were piled skulls and
other small bones of cattle and sheep
and smaller animals. They sent Null
lens dog into the cave, and a fierce
fight ensued that was terminated by
the animal dashing out, followed by
the dog. Mullen struck the beast on
the head with a spade as it fled past
him, but this did not stop it.
After another brief encounter with
the dog, the animal made off. Mullen
states that it was as large as a noun
tain lion or leopard, but he could not
say what it was. Mullen expressed
the opinion that the animal is the
same one that has been seen about
Lamberton and in this county during
the spring, and that recently tried to
pull down a steer on the Columbus
Ballard farm near by.

Cooke Fears Mob Violence.
Two satcfels and a small steam
er trunk constituted the baggage of
the couple. The clippers appeared to
be perfectly happy, and there was no
sign that the scandal they had Gre
ated caused either the slightest worry.
Several persons who had seen the
pictures of the clippers in New York
papers easily recognized them and
noted where they went. They imme-
diate1y informed the local authorities
who communicated the information to
the Long island officials.
Cooke soon discovered that he was
being watched, and when approached
admitted his identity and offered to
go back to Long Island if assured pro-
lection from mob violence or individ-
ual enemies. He said he had received
anonymous letters threatening his life
three days before he left Hemp
stead, and this was the main reason
for his flight.
August Belmont Ousted Cooke.
The disappearance of Cooke and
Miss Whaley created a tremendous
sensation principally because of the
prominence of the church, of which
Cooke had been rector for five years.
The church is one of the most i'm
portant on Long Island, and includes
among it's parishioners scores of
wealthy New Workers who have
country homes in that vicinity.
Among the church members is Au-
gust Belmont, who took an active part
in the proceedings, following the min
listers disappearance, which resulted
in the pulpit being declared vacant
and Cooke being deposed from the
ministry.
