Tragedy Af Delaware City

There was a sad tragedy enacted in
Delaware City, just outside the reser-
walton OF Fort DUPONT Monday even
ing, while I3-year-old John Cook, Jr..
was laughing and talking with a group
OF soldiers in the tobacco store OF
Sergeant Lacey a bullet was fired from
the darkness outside. which struck the
lad IN the neck, severing his jugular
vein. He fell forward on the oor and
was dead before phtiysician could
reach his side
The occupants oi the store were for
she moment dazed. but in short time
gave the alarm. Guards were station
ed at all the exits but to no avail.
The general opinion of the com
munity is that the bullet was not in
tended for the lad. but was meant for
Sergeant Blackburn OF the Coast Ar
tillery.
Young Cook was on his way to a
meeting for the purpose OF organizing
base ball team. and stopped at the
store to talk to the soldiers. He sat
down alongside OF Sergeant Black
burn on feed box and was talking
when the shot was fired. All sprang
to their feet and some began a search
for the assassin while others went TO
break the sad news to the boys father.
Blackburn is known TO have enemies
and had some trouble with soldier
and civilian. at the place where the
shooting occurred. last week, when
he was called from the store and ac-
cuscd OF making some remarks about
one OF them The men wanted to
fight with him but he refused to en-
gage in any disturbance, and believed
the matter had been settled 1t is also
reported that he had been warned
several times to stop paying attention
TO Marie Cook. sister OF the dead
boy. The detectives on the case are
said to believe that jealousy was the
motive for the shot. Some persons
believe that Marie Cook, who was
standing in front OF her brother when
the tragedy occurred was the one for
whom the shot was intended, but the
evidence seems to point to the Ser
geant as the intended victim.
Coroner Galloway who is also invcs-
tigating the case. has empanelled a
jury which met Wednesday and view
ed the dead body 1t then adjourned
to meet again at the call OF the Cor
Dupr
