OME GEORGIA. SUNDAY MORNING NOVEMBER. 11 1894.
A BLOODYTRAIL
Made by two of Bandit Bill Cook’s
Lieutenants
THEY HOLD UP A TOWN
And rob its Houses and Loot
its Stores then Shoot to
Kill as they Ride Away
Bill Cook not with
them on Raid.
Coffeyville, Kaii.,Nov , o—Two0 —Two
of the Cook gang plundered the
mwn of Lenapah, 1.T., and left
a bloody trail bshind them tbia
afternoon.
They entered the town *in the
character of bold bandits, without
any attempt at coneealmsut, ■ and
terrorized the citizen® until they
had carried out their planj of rob
bery
E E Mel ten, a brave young
man, who attempted to Http thfwn
with his gun when they were ride-,
ing away, was shot aud instantly
killed.
Another man, whose name can
not be learned tonight, is Reported
to have been seriously wounded
Both of the victims were with «
small force of citizens who hasti
ly armed themselves and
ed to prevent the escape of the
bandits.
The robbers were mounted on
fast horses and were heavily armed.
Some of the citizens claim to have
recognized them Bill
and Jim French, well-known lieu
tenants of Bill Cook, the leader
of the gang. The robbers held up
the proprietors of two stores and
looted both places.
They also robbed the postiffice
John Shurelt, the prourietor of
cue store, was relieved of <IOO m
money and a gold watch. These
articles were taken frern hUjteraou.
Mr. Shnfelt proclaimed hie loss to
the town before the robbers had
finished tbair work aud the band
of citizens were almost between
them and their horses when the
robbers went to mount.
An effort was made to stop them,
| but they were on horseback, with
drawn pistols and were flying; be
fore their would-be captors could
make a concentrated movement.
Melton was more rash than the
others and met death in conse
quence.
The news, as it reached the city,
does not state in what manor or
how seriously the second victim was
njured.
A report says the bandits? are
iheaded for Coffeyville, which is
only fifteen miles from Lenapah.
This place is the scene of, many
tragic robberies and the police de
partment with volunteers are pre
pared to meet them in the same
way they meet the Daltons two
years ago when almost the entire
band was wiped out.

LIVELYJIMES I
Two Saturday Night Rackets that
Cause Excitement.
A CUTTING SCRAPE
Joe Washington had an eye cut
by Tom Hendricks--Alvin
Kite is Shot at bv a Cop
and Promptly Shoot;
Back.
A lively fusilade of pistol shots
about 9 o’clock last night, soon
filled the streets with excited peo
ple.
A negro, two or three policemen,
a deputy shereff, a countryman
and pistols galore were all mixed
up in a lively scrimmage.
It seems that officers Millard
Mulksy and Tom Logan had arrest
ed a negro named Kiley Chislom,
and were carrying him to the sta
tion house.
Alvin Kite, a white boy about
nineteen years old, hailing from
Chulio, took a crazy notion that he
would rescue the negro, and upon
attempting to do so was arrested.
Mr. Logan had the negro in
charge and Mr. Mulkey the white
boy, and as they got to the corner
of Fourth Avenue, Kite jerked
oose from the officer and commen
ced to run across Broad towards the
Masonic Temple.
Mulkey fired his pistol in the air
to frighten the fellow, but the plan
didn’t work. When Kite got about
two-thirds of the way across the
street , he deliberately turned about
and fired three shots at Mulkey.
He then continued on up Fourth
Avenue and turned down First
street. As he turned the corner
Mulkey shot four times at him,
but Kite kept up his 2:40 gai f ,
merrily whistling “he never touch
ed me.”
Kite kited on down the street
and turned into the alley way by
Rounsavills warehouse. Deputy
Sheriff MoConnal was down that
way and tried three shots at the
Heeding boy. But either Mr.
Mac's aim was bad or Kite was so
tall and thin that none of the shots
took effect.
Kite was caught about this place
by Deputy Marshall Guice, and
carried to the station house, whee
he will have time to think ‘where
he is at.’
A CUTTING SCRI’E.
Last night in Mil'ers saloon un
der the opera house Joe Wasington
land Tom Hendricks were drinking
at a prety lively rate.
In some way they got into a dis
pute and Hendricks cut Washing
ton twice across the left eye.
No one in the saloon seemed to
know anything about the fight and
say they did not see it,
Washington was taken to Trev
itt & Johnsons drug store, and
Drs. Harnin and Wynn gave him
the neccessary attention.
He was badly wounded and will
loose the sight of his eye,
Hendricks was arrested, but
gave bond and was released. He
had a slight cut on his ha nd,
and said that Washington cut
him. But Washington claimed
that he did not cut Hendricks at
all.
=-h H
Careless Driving.
A careless negro boy came near
causing a serious accident yester
day morning. An electric car com
ing in from EastJ Rome had reach
ttie corner of East Becoud street
and Second Avenue. A negro boy
was driving a dray and paying no
attention to anything until the
vehicle was across the track right
in front of the car, aud before the
motorman could put on brakes he
smashed into the dray.
Fortunately no one was ut
that was about the worst scared
coon iu the county. The dray was
not injured.
This careless driving should
stop as it is likely to cause some
on® to ba badly injured. The mo
torman was Dot to blame fcr th»
accident as the boy wheeled the
dray directly it front of the car.
