COOK IS GONE WITH COIN
sALEMITEs FLEEoED BY CROOK
Former Real Estate Dealer Cutting the
Wind for Parts Unknown-Was An
Active Cherrian-Reported Robbed.

"Crook" is a synonym for Cook, ac-

B. Cook, the long and lanky ex-real es-
tate man, active Cherrian member and
a smooth gentleman who succeeded
nicely in Fleeing about twenty Salem

wind to parts unknown with at least
$500 on his person and equipped with
the best outfit of clothes, shoes, jewel
ry, suit cases, fishing tackle and cigars
that has gone out of Salem in many a
day.
1t appears that Cook deposited some
thing like a thousand dollars in checks
in the U. s. National and the Bush
banks last Friday. The clever fellow
was not suspected of crookedness, but
was looked upon as being upright and
honest. He went to clothing stores and
mems furnishing shops and got fitted
to suit his taste; he beat Hauser Bro
theirs, the sporting goods men, out of
some fine fishing goods; he bought suit
cases enough to stock up rich tourist
planning trip to India, and before
he quit he bought about everything
there was to buy. Results are that the

Is Bad Actor.

It is said by the police that Cook has
turned stunts Of the Kind before. He
claimed he was robbed of $17 several
months ago. A letter on file at the
police station shows that the alleged
robbery was merely bluff to lead his
debtors to believe that he had met with
an unfortunate accident. He claimed
also that he had been at one time a
great detective. Investigation proved
that he had not been in active secret
service. Cooks real estate business
went sky high and he was on the rag
ged edge of nothing before he started
in with his eheck-issuing game. He
used the names of two leading banks
in the east to get on the good side of
the local banks, and apparently his
crooked dealings were not suspected
until he lined out with the goods.
