Threat of Suicide Causes Wife's Return
Divorce Suit Dismissed after Husband Struggles with Deputy for Rifle
The
divorce suit of Mrs. Anna Cook against Luke Cook was dismissed in the
Superior Court on notice of the plantiff, after a tragic scene had been
enacted at the home of the Cooks Saturday afternoon.
Mrs. Cook returned to her home to obtain some of her
belongings, with Deputy Sheriff Capp, who was forced to struggle with
Cook for the possession of a rifle with which he declared he would kill
himself if she did not return to him.
Deputy Capp was successful in his attempt to foil the
suicide, and Cook preceeded to beg his wife to return. She went away
with Capp, but promised to consider his proposal. The dismissal was the
result of a reconsideration of the divorce proceedings.
