Other Things.

Among other things Judge Cook re-
ferred to the necessity of good public
highways and said that Forrest County
was behind some of its neighbor coun-
ties in this respect. He spoke of bur-
glsries, disturbing public worship, sale
of tobacco to minors, etc. :
B. In conclusion, Judge Cook had a
heart to heart talk with the officers.
He said that when magistrates as
sessed fine of one cent or one dollar
1t meant that the man ought to have
been acquitted; that there was some
suspicion that magistrates found peo-
pie. guilty some times just to get the
fee That this should not enter into
the consideration of the matter; that
equal and exact justive should be
melted out between the state and the
defendant. He also stated that some
of the constables should be a little
more vigilant He complimented the
board of supervisors ON the decided
improvement that had been made on
the county farm and he also compli-
mented Superintendent Culpepper.

JUDGE COOK DELIVERS
SENSATIONAL CHARGE
Continued from First Page.

to the blind tiger business in all its
shapes and forms and said that, it was
almost directly responsible for three
fourths Of the crime that was COM
mitted in this judicial district. Do.
away with the blind tiger evil and
crime would be decreased rs per cent.
1t was an insult to law-abiding people
to say that the law against blind
tigers cannot be enforced. He said
that the tigers were well organized
and that they had very little trouble
to procure perjured testimony. The
blind tiger dealer was an OUTLAW,
worse than outlaw, who was content
to take your money, and not destroy
your soul. The blind tiger not only
steals your child, but steals his soul
fof perjury. Other crimes follow in
tue wake of the blind tiger
Speaking of clubs that dispensed
liquor, Judge Cook said they were al
ways dangerous; that the majority of
men who frequented them were young
men. of fine families, who finally
fell a prey to the buffet and locker.
They found congenial friends in the
club room, social card games followed
and that gambling was often. the out
come, character was corrupted, and
the trusted young men holding re-
sronsible positions often disappeared
in the night, and finally wore felon's
stripes. Drinking and the houses Of
ill-fame were causing the downfall of
many young men. A.
Gambling.
The subject of gambling was next
handled by the judge. He said that
the majority of people had an instinct
for gambling but 1t was an instinct
that should be checked. He told the
Jury OF the distinction between grown
people and minors, as recognized by
the law and he urged an enforcement
nj this law
s> Cocaine. q
The next subject that Judge Cook
called attention to was the use Of
cocaine by negroes He told how il
made them almost raving maniacs' and
advised the grand jury to ascertain II
there had been any violation in the
sale OF this dangerous drug.
Concealed Weapons.
The subject of carrying concerned
weapons was gone into thoroughly
.by the Judge He said that it seldom
was. necessary for anyone living in
this civilized country to carry weapons
and he called the attention of the
grand jury to feature Of the law
that has heretofore been very gen
orally ignored. He stated that all the
dalers IN firearms and cartridges
were required to keep full and com
Iplete record OF all the sales, giving
Tie calibre, and numbers. He advised
the grand jury to Gallon all dealers
in arms and ammunitions and inves
tigate their records.
4 Whitecapping.
The judge stated that he had re
ceived information that there had been
considerable whitecapping in the coun
ty. in which there had been some

THREE RESCUERS DROWN
TRYING TO SAVE SKATERS

CONNELLSVILLE, Pa, Jan. 16.-In
q daring and heroic attempt to succor
a drowning couple who had broken
through the ice on the Jimtown reser-
voir last night, three other persons

for the thin sheet which covered the
pond crashed through the ice and were
drowned in the sight Cf a sixth member
-of the skating party.

Fulmer. seventeen; William Fulmer,
twenty-three, a brother; John Luxner,

\ party OF six had gone out early In
the evening to enjoy the skating. Miss
Tulmer, together with her sweetheart,
George Cochran, started Immediately
for The center Of the pond and had
skated less than a hundred feet away
when the remainder OF the party heard
a crash and screaming When they
looked toward the couple the two had
come TO the top. Cochran was holding
the girls head above water and strug-
Cling to gain a hold on the ragged edges
OF the ice.
The other four quickly grasped hands,
forming a human chain which reached
from the bank TO the boy and girl. An
drew Mack was next 20 the shore. Just
as Miss Fulmers brother reached TO
grasp her hand the frail sheet of ice
gave way and all except Mack were
precipitated into the freezing water.
Mack was compelled &c stand and see
his companions Of a few seconds before
drown without being aoie to aid them.
The bodies OF the hve victims have not
vet been recovered.
