J the red-handed assassin, Duncan
, Brown Cooper.
On lonely road in Mexico some
twenty-odd years ago, ex-senator Hen.
ry Cooper, a lovable gentleman and
brother to the assassin Duncan B., was
waylaid by bandits and shot to death.
Their deed was not more bloody,
more cowardly or cruel, than the
sneaking, villianous manner in which
this renegade of a noble family plan
ned and executed the assassination Of
Edward Ward Carmack; as brilliant a
mind, as knightly man and as kind a
| gentleman as ever trod this earth A
man and statesman who had con-
| victions and dared maintain them, but
who had no malice in his heart for any
living man; who was as gentle as he
was strong; who had not one drop of
coward blood in his veins, and who
oAlAiCu at GOaNbp NACh InC cats
came to drive him from cause he had
fixed his heart upon. His assassins
came upon him unawares, and the
coward bullet came from the rear and
tore its way through the brain before
he had time to think, perhaps; but II
he thought at all, his thought was this:
IL am ready, prepared and willing to
die, If by doing so can drive from the |
homes and hearthstones of the land !
and people love, that soul-destroying !
demon Strong Drink"
There were many who had heard !,
