a. month preparing: his 'records' as It

were prepared with the assistance of

possible th show will be-held iflnring

then be found t0S8lble-perhaps to trans
port it bodily to the Spokane national

The; hot blood that has marked the

of. which occurred at Lincoln, where
Winston Churchill, bom secretary, at

were utterly unable to bold the rioters
in cheek. Tbey rushed upon Sir Robert

roughly bandied him before a cordon of

rescue. Churchill himself rushed to tbe

unmeasured terms, the conservative
press declined to handle the news, evi
dently believing that" it would be lia
ble 'for heavy damages' in case the
hero of the bour should decide to bring
suit However, the news reported the
world through special dispatches sent
out and later-were backed up by affi

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. It was only a question of how;
many could be secured who had heard1
the .guides make statements that they .
had accompanied Ponk on ' his Alaskan I
trip and knew that he had reached the
summit , . '

', But the guides stood pat Barrill had
made the statement that ha intended to
make, a good thing out of the contro- '
versy and was . disgruntled over ; the
scandal they had created. 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. ,
