Last Thursday, an old hermit, named Cooke, living with his brother-in-law
near Cedarville, suddenly disappeared and search was at once instituted. No
trace of him could be found for five days. The woods was searched and
careful search was made in every place where the searching party thought he
might be found. On Tuesday word was received that a person answering his
description had been seen in Golden City and Mr. Cooke's brother-in-law at
once started for that place. We have not learned whether or not the party
at Golden proved to be the hermit.

The Jerico Optic

The hanging and burial of Joda Hamilton, the Texas County murderer was
according to the Houston Star, the most remarkable in history, because he
was hanged twice and buried twice. The first time the trap was sprung the
noose became untied and Hamilton revived, only to be hanged again. He was
hauled to the cemetery by the mule team that he took from the family he
murdered. The first time he was lowered into the grave the rough box was to
large. After the end of the box had been knocked in the body was again
lowered into the grave.

Corn Cob Time Here
The old settler who has been telling the story of going to mill when he
was a boy, witnessed more going to the mill Saturday than he ever saw during
his boyhood days in the same length of time. The men and boys were all
going to mill today, but they were not taking either corn nor wheat, but
simply were going after cobs. The Sullivan Mill near Union Station has had
a mountain of cobs for several days and, being unable to dispose of them
fast enough, offered the cobs to the public free of cost. Every vehicle in
town suitable for such hauling has been making trips to the bog cob
mountain. Cobs are useful as kindling and also make a hot fire. Coal of $4
and cobs free, puts cobs in strong demand.
