, Chicago, Nov. "23. Northwestern
university, the great Methodist in
ttitution at Evanston, ma be rocked
as a result, of the investigation into
the organization that staged the
"death banquet"Saturday night that
culminated so tragically for David
.Harris Cook, Plattsmouth, Neb., a
graduate .of the law school at Northwestern.-
;
' Cook arrived here Saturday after
noon to attend a reunion 6'f the
alumni and to celebrate a possible
victory over . Notre Dame in the
foot ball game. The celebration
wound up disastrously for Cook,
hoVever, as he was found dying
under a table.
K. i imunuo, .proprietor ot
v ..Italia -. hall, i where the celebration
was held, testified at the inquest
tfiat he had looked in on the banquet
between 9 and 10 o'clock, and that a
lot , of1 "horseplay" was being in
dulged in. "
"Most.of the fellows were blind
fold

cabinet was' broken and chairs and

first been removed in aA uncdn
icious condition to Xi rstPhi fra
Jternity house and from there to St,
I.itkes hospital, where he died. Dean
i Flickinger said the banquet had been
? given by1 the dental chapter of the
' fraternity, organized in a part of the
school over which he has no juris
diction, y '
The inquest was attended by more
than 30 students and two uncles of
the "dead man C. II. Cook, banker
of Salem, la., 'and A. E. Cook of
Malvern,- Ia but none of them tes
i tiricd. ,
It is the belief that the liquor
served at the banquctjmay have had
something to do with Cook's death,
although all the others drank it and
suffered ; no ill conseq'uences. The
coroner is inclined to believe that
Cook had an exceptionally weak
heart and suctfumbed to the excite
ment of .the, rough house pranks.

D. F. Bryson of near Adams, is the
writer of the letter, which follows:
""""Doesn't it. look as though the

rotten deal? We feed the world,
furnish the boys, raise everything;
bought bonds and stamps, and gave
liberally to all calls. Now we sell
our wheat for $1.80; our oats for 46
