1t was found that the bullet had
struck Mrs. Williams in the right

WOMAN TERRIBLY BURNED
HUSBAND ALSO INJURED

A report reached the sentinel this
morning from Green River stating
that Mrs. Il. j. Cook, the wife of
one of the prominent residents of the
little town, and well known here, was
terribly burned in an accident at her
home.
It seems that Mrs. Cook arose and
went to the kitchen to start the fire.
She picked up a can which she used
for holding coal oil and pourned some
of the fluid over the flames. The can
contained gasoline instead of kero-
sene. someone having had the can till-
ed with gasoline a few days before.
There was an explosion and Mrs.
Cook was severely burned on the
arms, breast and shoulders and face,
The flesh was literally cooked in plac-
es. Her sufferings wehe heart rend-
ing. Mr. Cook. hearing the noise and
the screams of his wife rushed to her
assistance and in endeavoring to eN-
tinguisb the flames his hands were
frigh htrully burned. However, suffering
intense pain he secured his automo-
bile and rushed for a physician. SO
badly burned were his hands that
when they came in contact with the
auto crank large pieces of flesh fell
of.
Mr.. COOK SeCuTeu pIA SlTldh anu
his wife's sufferings as well as his
own sufferings were alleviated as far
as possible.
The condition of Mrs. Cook is re-
garded as very critical as she has a
weak heart and may be unable to with
stand the effects of the shock. Her
injuries are of the gravest nature.
Mr.. Cook will recover.
1t was one of the worst accidents
that has happened in Green River in
several years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cook have frequent
" visited Grand Junction.
Mr.. Cook IS cashier of the Green
River National bank.

TOXIC, July 9.-The Hochi this
morning prints an interview with Ad-
mrial Sakamoto in which the admiral
is quoted as follows:
"Should hostilities break out be
tween Japan and America, the re-
suit would be indecisive owing to a
want of proper bases of operations,
Such bases as exist are too distant
for practical purposes.
Even if the Washington govern
ment should decide on a war, It IS
doubtful of the Americans serving
in the navy are sufficiently patriotic
to fight
American naval officers are bril-
liant figures at balls and social gather
ings. but they are very deficient in
professional training and practice. 1t
is too much to expect a burning pat
riotism in the American naval serv-
ice in case of war with Japan.
In case of war all the American
crews would desert and leave the
