MURDERER WEAPON
FOUND At BARN AND
COOK IS ARRESTED
BLOODY HICKORY STICK IN
TRASH DISCOVERED BY
OFFICER.
DEFENDANT TAKEN TO NASHVILLE
Demanded an immediate Hearing,
But Brothers and Officers Feared
the Result and He Was Persvad-
ed to Waive Examination.

SMYRNA, Tenn, Aug. 30.--William
F. Cook was arrested here Friday aft
ernoon charged with the murder of
his wife, Mrs. Maggie Cook, and her
15-year-old niece, Lucy Stanford, at
their home, three and half miles on
the Rock Springs road, Monday night.
For fear Of mob violence, Sheriff
Rhodes and two deputies at once spir-
tied their prisoner away in a taxicab
to the Davidson county Jail at Nash
vile.
For nearly four days the officers
and citizens of Smyrna and other
parts of Rutherford county have been
engaged in a rigid investigation of
the maner in which the crime was
committed, and it was not until today
that evidence of sufficient strength
to warrant an arrest was obtained.
The search for an important clue was
becoming almost in vain when, about
2 o'clock, Deputy Sheriff Edmondson
and two of the coroner's jurymen dis
covered the heavy hickory bludgeon
used in killing the two women. 1t
was buried under straw and trash in
Cooks stable. Five minutes later the
officer and jurymen were on their
way to the adjourned session of the
coroner's jury, held near Harrison's
store, one mile from Smyrna on the
Murfreesboro road.
Attorney General Faulkner ad-
vised Cook to waive examination so
that the officers could take him out
OF the county at once, at first he re-
fused to do so, and insisted on hear
ing before the coroner's jury. His
brother and several of his friends f.
nally prevailed on MIN not to risk the
danger of the crowd, and he agreed to
leave at once for the Davidson coun-
ty Jail. Sheriff Rhodes served the
Warrant on Cook just before the in
quest He was charged with murder
in the first degree.

TAUGHT TO BECOME FRIENDS
Wonderful Results Achieved by Train
ers Who Have Overcome I'M
stinct of Animals.

According to a dispatch from Read
ing, Pa. the canary bird of Mrs. Frank
lin Woods of Denver township es-
capped from its cage the other day and
the family cat seemed diSconsolate.
There had always been bond of SYM
pathy between the cat and the canary,
unexplainable, perhaps, but neverthe-
less there.
The dispatch says the cat disap.
peared the night the bird flew away.
The ribald may say the cat at last saw
chance to get close to the bird so
long barred from it. But, no. The &C
count continues gravely that four days
later the cat returned, holding the
canary by one wing, the bird still
alive, and dropped it's friend pet at
Mrs. Woods feet. 1t would seem the
pussy had searched the wildwood for
Dtckie and got no clue until the song
Of the bird was heard. With plain
lively inviting NEW the cat called the
canary from the tree and brought it
home. The story was in the papers.
But strange-or too strange as the
case may be-as this incident may ap-
pear, 1t is well authenticated fact
that a cat and a bird may live out
their lives together with no harm com.
ing to the bird, even when the cat has
had full and free opportunity to
pounce upon its natural prey Such
unusual companionship was evidenced
for many years in old museum days by
the exhibition Of the so-called incon-
gruous happy family.
In a cage together Barnum and
many successors displayed the lion
and the lamb reclining contentedly.
Also the monkey and the parrot. and
the common house cat with a robin
and canary. Trainers accomplished
this, 1t was said, by starting with the
animals from the moment of their
birth and making each understand
that the other animals were not to be
molested. If wrong move was made
the culprit was punished.

Work of Peach Tree Borer.

through the bark and spend most Of
their life between the bark and wood,
where they may do great damage.
Gum flows as a result of this injury
and is a fairly reliable indication of
the presence of the largo worms"
Unfortunately there is nothing to show
the presence of the small ones.
The usual method of combating
the peach borer Is to dig out the
worms during the winter or fall, but
often the knife causes more damage
than the borers, especially If the dig
ging must be done for several years
or by careless Workmen.
Many preparations are being used
on the trunks of trees; some to keep
the moths from depositing eggs, some
to prevent the borers from entering,
some to kill those which have en-
tered. None of these have been
wholly satisfactory.
Experiments conducted at Berryes-
sa, Cal, and which extended over four
years, led the writer to use hard
asphaltum. grades "C' and 3D." with
good results.
This was applied early in the spring
to badly infested trees from which
the borers had not been dug. 1t was
found that a thick coating prevented
both the issuance and the entrance
of about 95 per cent. to So per cent
of the insects.
Asphaltum does not penetrate
crack, deteriorate or bind the tree.
since it yields to the slightest press
ure. Four years OF experimenting
have not shown the least injury
The material is applied warm with
a brush from five inches below to five
inches above the ground. Two coat
ings are generally sufficient unless the
bark is very rough, but in any case
a thick, uniform covering is absolutely
necessary for the best results. A con-
venient way to handle the asphaltum
is to mount an iron kettle on the run
ming gear of an orchard truck and sus-
pend beneath it a sheet iron apron as
a fire box. Keep hard asphaltum In
the kettle all the time 80 that the
melted asphaltam will not get too hot
to carry in small containers and apply
directly to the trees. In the fall throw
away the soil from the trees and dig

THE sToR1.

Now, don't call me a heroine"
said Mrs. Sarah G. Harris. In her room
on the top floor of the Audubon san
itarium The little laugh that &C
companied the admonition was almost
unbelievable. For Mrs. Harris Is
the hopeless paralytic who. one year
ago, startled the whole nation by ap-
pealing to the state of New York
to end her life.
The visitor promised not to call her
L heroine. but made no guarantee as
10 what the public would say.
To be exact. 1t was not her room
10 which the interview occurred. Her
room was No 81 on the same floor,
overlooking St. Nicholas avenue, near
the corner of One Hundred and Forty
ninth street She had been carried
from that room by two attendants a
few days before and she will not be
carried back. There Is a memory
connected with Room 81 which she
does not wish to recall. Even though
the shutters and window castings are
replaced and all evidence of the fire
Ia removed. Mrs. Harris win rest more
peacefully elsewhere.
For four eternities, which we on the
outside call years, Mrs. Harris has
not been able to move hand or foot.
She cannot even lift to her mouth
the food which has miraculously kept
her vital organs from wearing out,
while the rest of her physical being
has been practically lifeless. Only
her mind lives, and a few minutes
lalk with her is enough to convince
any one that that is exceptionally
acute.
