SAMUEL COOPER RELEASED.
Man Captured Monday Morning Has
 Lead Nomaaic. Life.

samuel Cooper. who was brought to Mena Monday by Deputy Sheriff Willis Hungate and placed in the county jail to await investigation as to his identity, was released early Tuesday morning soon after arrival Of his brother. J. W. Cooper from Rudy Ark.
 It seems that the unfortunate man comes from a good family. The brother who came to Mena. is III the mercantile business. and has lived III Rudy for the last eighteen years. Another brother, J H. Coon er. IS cashier of the Bank of Rudy. and still another brother. w. q Cooper. lives in Fort Smith, but is m business in Rudy The mother Of the boys lives in Alma. and she IS the one who has been keeping more or less closely in touch with the nomadic son.
 Sam is graduate of the Little Rock College of Physicians and Surgeons: he has practiced medi- clne; and has been postmaster at Rudy During the last five or six years, he has been rowing about from place to place, having during that period covered much of the United States and for time he was in Mexico. Asked as to the cause or reason for this nomadic life, both of the brothers seemed rather reti- cent. the attitude being that it touched a matter entirely personal. and to give it publicity might re- fleet on some one without accom- plishinR any good. The presumption is that the man has had some do- nestle infelicity, and in the effort to get away from that he has trav- eled over the country, working when necessity demanded, and try ing to attend to his own business.
