was detained there in the county jail

The brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs.

earlier, was legal.

reconciled by the county attorneys

son-in-law took her away in the night.

SIMSON CHALLENGES
ALLEY To MAT MATCH

Great Falls, Montana, May 18th
A challenge to Tom Alley of northern
them Montana, state light-heavy-
weight wrestling champion, was re
ceived by The Tribune Sunday from
Earl Simpson Of Grand Forks, n. d.
Simpson declares that he is willing to
meet Alley any place he wishes and
under any terms. He states in his
challenge that he will post a 500 for
felt for his appearance and as a guar
antee that he viii make $50 pounds
ringside the day of the match.
The Tribune is in error when it
states that Alley is Hght-heavy-
weight champion of this state, as FL
wood House carries that honor BY
reason of winning from Alley last
winter, but Alley is a good man and
the two men should make a good
match.

In TO investigate.
Conviction was obvious from the
first. He was sentenced to serve IA
years.
To show the workings of Doc
Cooks brain-he sued a Fort Worth
newspaper for libel, claiming $1,000
600 damages-after he had been con-
victed.
Doc Cook had rare gifts, had they
been used in the right direction. He
was endowed with a rare personality,
a beaming smile and affability that
won the confidence of strangers. He
started life well enough-but he new
er could control the desire to bluff.
Leaving the home place up state in
New York he went to Brooklyn where
he drove a milk wagon until he had
earned enough money to start thru
medical college.
He was a member OF Admiral Per-
rvs party on one of the earlier eX-
plorations-bCt had been missing for
some years when he came from the
north with his announcement of hav-
ing reached the pole. Even after all
of his claims were disapproved he
maintained his stand and even went
forth on the lecture platform to car
ry out his bluff. However, his pic
lures were old, his dairies falsifeC
and in no way had he data which
would stand inspection.
He made the gum-drop candy fam
ous-by claiming that by feeding the

CLAIMED HE HAD
REACHED NORTH POLE

In 1909 he returned from the
North, less than two weeks ahead of
Admiral Perry, the real discoverer,
claiming that he had reached the
North Pole. He returned by way of
Denmark-which country officially
honored him. New York gave him
the freedom of the city" and hung
garland of roses about his neck. Per-
rvs sudden return with authentic
data and proofs Of he himself hav-
ing reached the pole was the bomb
which Exploded all of Doe Cooks
claims-and the praise and honor he
so gloried in was quickly turned to
ridicule and scoTn.
The nations scOrn was so great
that Doctor Cook left the country
going to Boneo. There is no record
of his bluffs on the wild folks of the
East Indies, but that there were
some, there is no doubt.
No sooner had the famous" ex-
plorer returned to the United States
than he was busy again "stringing'

doc" Cook, the man who has bluff
fed in a big way all through life,
has never yet put one Of them across.
But he is still trying. Only last week
in Fort Worth, Tex, he attempted a
bold and grand bluff-of how he had
refused to join a jail delivery. This
was lust before his transfer to the

and brainstorms of the famous doc

Here are some of his bluffs-one Of
which he cashed in On-but was

Doc Cook claimed to have been the
first man to scale Mt Mckinley. He
was given a seat in the hall Of fame
besides such explorers as AgassiZ

disapproved. This was in 1906.
