"To add to his discredit lie declined the next day to awear'out a' warrant for the arrest of Barrill on a charge that he had perjured himself In swearing that Cook had not reached Mount McKinley's summit. Those who have read the news papers will remember that after the ex plorer returned to New York he spent a. month preparing: his 'records' as It was explained at the time. The records were prepared with the assistance of Mitchell and a Montana newspaper man, who was well paid for the trip to New York.

The; hot blood that has marked the campaign from the first culminated to day In score of fights, the most serious of. which occurred at Lincoln, where Winston Churchill, bom secretary, at tempted to make a speech from the bal cony, of the Liberal club The police were utterly unable to bold the rioters in cheek.

The clamor for an explanation became so great that Cook, who was reaping a golden harvest On his lecture tour, sent an agent named Mitchell, employed in newspaper Work In New York, to Missoula to see whai could, be .done. Mitchell was furnished; with an unlimited amount of capital j and was authorised to go as far as he liked. . He hired a retinue of attorneys j seral-deteettves, boosters and affidavit j makers.

Cook was not inclined to make them rich for life. It was a question of the payments of thousands of 'dollars or no affidavits and Mitchell, , who was hot-headed and used very poor Judgment in his negotia tions, decided on a grand coup. ,He would summon Cook tq - Missoula" and have him face his accusers. Right here there is evidence that Cook is a weak ling and depended on his new friends for advice. Mitchell , telegraphed him to come to Mlsaoiola and face his foes and, without considering how his step would affect his plans, the explorer tel egraphed back, that he would come. , Oook Is Discredited.
