ternate leading man, a sterling nftnr
of much note and approved ability,

■when produced here during , Eugenic.
Thais Lawton's regime, will 'have the
last production In stock next week,
as It , has ~been placed with a well
known star for ajoad tour, which will
tlo It up for some years.
; Los Angeles Is fortunate, indeed, in
'having another opportunity of see-
Ing It
■■The coming cast will vary largely
from the old one, not, only in the fact
that Amelia Gardner plays- the saucy
queen, but because, of a iteneral new
jallgnment of the Belasco forces since
ithen. >
COOK'S PICTURES
SENT BROADCAST
POLICE FLOODING COUNTRY
WITH CIRCULARS
Suggestions Roll Into Sheriff's Of.
fice and Many Elusive Clews
'. Are Being Followed
I ;' Dally
Wanted for Murder
"On August 27. 1906, Mrs. Jennie
H. Cook, divorced wife of Fred D.
Cook, was brutally murdered/ on a
car .' of the Los Angeles-Pacific
Railway, company between Santa
Monica and Los Angeles.
Description of Murderer
"Fred D.' Cook, age 30 year*.
height 5 feet 9 Inches, weight 178
pounds, dark complexion, dark
brown eyes, black hair, large prom
inent chin, smooth shaven. When
last seen his hair was dyed red and
he wore an artificial mustache, but
may assume his natural growth ot
beard. His father, David Cook, and
other relatives reside at Chelsea,
Mass. " His occupation is plasterer.
It found, arrest and ■wire W. A.
White, sheriff' Los Angeles county."
'The above circular and an accom
panying photograph of the alleged mur
deter Is being sent broadcast throughout
the state, and as a result half the male
population of Los Angeles are hugging
the little -circulars with the fond hope
that they may be the lucky ones to ap
prehend the alleged murderer and bring
glory to themselves.
Accompanying each circular is a pic
ture of the alleged murderer, and the
features of Cook have become familiar
to many.
I The elusive Cook, however, is keeping
well away from officers. »
Sugestions Roll Jn
' It has been suggested' that' the Holy.
Rollers might be helping him to escape.
Other suggestions have been flooding
in on the sheriff's office until the of
ficers have searched nearly every spot
in the city.
," Most of the reports of Cook's where
abouts have caused much amusement,
and one report turned in yesterday very
rearly resulted In a flght.-
A solicitor for a journal of ancient
history was canvassing the neighbor
hood of Klghth and Maple streets yes
terday afternoon when he started
around to the rear door of a small cot
tage there. He had hardly reached the
jback door 1 efore he noticed one of the
'•windows raised. He tried to knock on
the door, but was nearly frightened out
of his wits to see. the head and shoul
ders of a. man suddenly emerge from
the window.
And,, lo! the man's hair was red and
the description of Cook's hair at the
time of the shooting was mentioned as
that flagrant color.
•>"Do you take any magazines here?"
'xald the solicitor In a husky and fright
. fjved voice.
"Sure, we take, them all," answered
the man with an excited wave of his
hand, and he pulled his body through
and dropping to the ground disappeared
through the gate. The solicitor made a
hasty follow, hut could see the fugitive
rapidly disappearing toward a saloon.
He dashed to a telephone and notified
the sheriff's office that he had seen
Cook; Deputies Gilbert and Sepulveda
were hurried to the spot, and the solic
itor exptalned the suspicious circum
stances to them.
I ■ The officers hurriedly took up the
trail and finally came across a red
headed man.
"That's him!" snld the solicitor, and
then the man turned around.
'>', "Hello. Joe,'' said one of the officers
as he recognized a local bartender in
the person of the supposed murderer.
The bartender had been a delegate to
the county convention, and there was
no mistaking his Identity.
An explanation followed.
; The bartender's wife had left home
on 'an afternoon visit and had locked
up the house and taken the keys with
her. Her husband had occasion to go
home during the afternoon, and falling
to get in the house by any other means
he climbed In through the window.
. . The . door ■• was locked and the key
gone,- so he was compelled to climb out
again - Just In time to be spotted as
Cook.
: Many, similar Incidents have occurred
durlnar the search for Cook, and the
officers | have spent part of the time
hunting down dews and the rest of the
time making apologies.

and no mistake.

SEES PROFIT IN CAT ISLAND
Man Would Transport Tabbies That
Yowl 6' (Nights^n Chicago
- to Isolated Spot
Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, Sept. S.— There Is a rrian
In Chicago who is tr-ylng to work up
a scheme for making money out -of
cats. ' .
"There nre 50,000" Btray cats In Chi
cago," he says, "that are of no benefit
to anyone. They make night hideous.
They .scratch and bite small children.
They are hated and 'pelted with coal
and bootjacks. I can rid Chicago of
a nuisance and make money, out of
them." - . ' \
' He has $1000. He is looking for a man
with more capital and a good head' for
managing a cat island. His scheme is
this:
Up in the northern part of Lake
Michigan is a little island, four miles
long and one mile wide. He proposes
to erect three exclusive sheds. There
Is plenty of vegetation and there are
no animal Inhabitants. When the
buildings are un he will have rat catch
ers go to work In Chicago and capture
60,000 cats. Their pelts are worth. 15
cents each. ,
He will put them on the Island and
buy up dead horses and old meat from
the stock yards and have it dumped
there from time to time. The cats will
be "left for four years, eating this food
and growing wild. This will make their
fur more valuable.
Then a cat abattoir will be created.
They will have propogated and multi
plied and 60,000 cats can be killed a
year, their skins, worth from 15 to' 25
cents, netting the proprietors of this
unique Industry $10,000 a year.

BUILDING IN KANSAS
Farmer Stops : Writing a Letter to
Turn His House Around After '.
Comes
Special to The Herald. . •
KANSAS" CITY. Pept. 6.— A young
man who formerly lived near Kansas
City bought a Aract of land in Ness
county, Kas., a, few months ago. In
the early spring he moved to the farm,
put up a tent and planted a crop on
part of the new sod, deferring the
building of a house until later in the
spring. / •
A brother in Kansas City received a
letter from him today. The first part
Is dated Sunday and explained that it
was too dry to break the prairie and
the young farmer, with a. ■ carpenter,
was building a house which, was ready
for shingling. Then after a rereading,
Tuesday night, the letter says:
A"IA "I was Interrupted. Sunday and this
Is my first chance to finish the letter.
One of .. those gentle little twisters
came along; while I was writing and
put the place in bad shape. By some
lucky chance the tent was just out of
its path, but the house got upturned
part way around but landed right side
up not far from the foundation. The
chicken house landed In the draw
north of the house, while some light
things, like the pans that were out
side, went east.
"I have the house back on Its foun
dation and have recovered most of the
loose lumber. , The house was built
to be used for a granary, when we can
build a better house, so the framework
was double strength. I may be able
to get It near enough straight to put
In doors and windows. It is now too
wet to plougii." - ■ •• .

i .WINSTED, Ct., Sept. 6. — Nlnety-twO
years old and nearly blind, John Net
tleton of Norfolk, who distrusts-law
yers and has an aversion to railroads
and trolleys, walked from Norfolk to
New Boston. Mass., and return, a dis
tance of fourteen miles, Tuesday. The
next day he walked from Norfolk to
South Sandlsfleld, Mass., about nine
miles, and back home. -
A brother of Nettleton's died In Otis,
Mass., years ago, leaving over $3000 de
posit In the Lee (Mass.) Ravings bank.
It was recently discovered that Nettle
ton was heir to the money, and hit
tramps are' being made to reclaim the
fortune.
Reputable lawyers have offered their
services free to the monagenarlan, but
he will have nothing to do with them.
He has been unable to get his fortune,
however, and probably will have to
employ a lawyer In the end.
