STATEMENT FOR THE SLAYER.
A statement issued by friends of the
Coopers tonight says that Colonel
Cooper had recently talked with
friends, asked some assistance in
stopping the attacks of Carmack
Mutual friends saw the editor, but he
would consent to no friendly relations
and said he would continue his at
lacks.
Cooper and his son, Robin, left the
office of a friend today to go to the
Governors mansion To avoid any
possible meeting with Carmack they
went through the arcade and up
through Union street to Seventh ave-
nue. north. Their purpose in taking
this route was to avoid a meeting in
the streets. The statement continues:
Colonel Cooper and his son went
through the arcade, through Sumner,
then to Union and up Union to Seventh.
Colonel Cooper and his son saw Mr..
Carmack walking up Seventh avenue
north, going in the direction Of Colonel
Cooper and his son, then on the Oppo
site side of the streets from them. Col
onel Cooper thereupon said he would go
over and speak with Carmack and see
if he would not agree to stop making
the annoying newspaper attacks on
him.
SAY CARMACK FIRED FIRST.
Colonel Cooper walked across the
street and approached Mr. Carmack,
who was facing him at the time. Col
onel Cooper had just begun to speak
with Carmack when Carmack drew his
pistol and began trying to fire while a
passing lady was between CarmaCli
and Cooper and his son, who had come
over when Carmack began to draw his
pistol. 1t is said that Colonel Cooper
asked Carmack to come from behind
the lady when Carmack thereupOn
fired two shots, both of which struck
Robin Cooper, who had interviewed in
his fathers protection. Then it was
after being shot, that Robin Cooper
fired the fatal shot Colonel Cooper
never using a pistol at ALL"
At the hospital it was discovered that
one bullet had entered Coopers right
breast in the region Of the shoulder,
inhicting a dangerous wound in a
dangerous region, but it is thought he
will recover. The other bullet from
Carmacks pistol passed through both
the overcoat and undercoat sleeve of
Cooper near the left shoulder.
WORDS THAT CAUSED TROUBLE.
The editorial referring to Colonel
Cooper in the Tennesseean of this
morning is one of several which have
mentioned Cooper, appearing at
previous times. 1t has reference to a
recent conference between Governor
Patterson and former Governor John |.
Cox. between whom, because of past
political contests, it has been alleged
the feeling was anything but cordial
The editorial is headed, The Diplomat
|. of the Sweibund," and reads as fol-
lows:
