Sudden Death
Is Shot to Death Sunday Night by
Howard Smith in Genrich's
Restaurant.

Tom Cook, % years old, noted po-
lice character-often before the
courts on different charges-went in
to J. A. Genrich's restaurant Sunday
night, evidently looking for trouble.
According to witnesses he was noisy
and boisterous. Howard Smith, one
of the walters, ordered him out of the
restaurant E. H. Gowan, in charge
of the restaurant with Smith, also
asked Cook to leave the building
But he daringly remained. 1t ap-
pears that he finally asked for a
drink of cider, but he was refused.
He was under the influence of alco-
hol. At this point he picked up a
mustard bottle and began to move to-
ard Smith. Smith reached under the
counter for revolver and shot Cook
in the region of the heart. Cook then
ran out the door and fell in the gut
ter at the curbing of the street a
dead man.
Coroner Strobe the next day called
the following jury to investigate the
matter: Herbert c. Plunkett, Bert
Sims, Roy Pearl, VIM. Frazier, R. T.
Carter and c. H. Hamilton.
Their verdict was as follows: 1--WE,
the jury in this case, find that Tom
Cook came to his death by gunshot
wound, said gun being in the hands
of Howard Smith. We also find that
Smith had been threatened by Tom
Cook and that he shot in self
defense"
Sweet charity assisted in giving
the body proper burial.

TAKING RIGHT VIEW OF WORK
Ing Dependent and Thinking OF
Himself az a Slave.

In commenting on a recent once
Over, concerning the blessing 1t should
be to be able to work and to have
work to do, man writes as follows:
"The principle is good. Work is q
blessing to humanity. IL the toiler
would but reap the fruits of his toll.
But, in this era of maladjusted econ
omic conditions, the workers life, with
its slave status, leaves much to be
desired. Am l right?"
From one viewpoint. yes: from an
other. no.
The working conditions OF labOrers
might be more ideal, tits true, but you
cannot expect too great an improve
ment within short time.
Are they not improving each year?
Are not working hours becoming
shorter and pay larger for those who
make the necessary effort to perfect
themselves along their certain line?
II man is unwilling to give the
time, study and effort to make himself
more valuable to his employer, should
he hope to have his wages advanced?
The workaday world Is far removed
from slavery.
When a man begins to think of him
self as a slave he is bringing about a
condition within himself which has a
tendency to place his efforts on the
plane Of those Of slave.
