Deputy Sheriff Moses Cook, Newport, that a pair of large bay mares, buggy and harness,
were left at Rickenour's tavern in the southern part of the county, on the 14th

that he would be gone a couple of days, and charging him to take good care of
his horses.
Since then, which is upward of a month, the man has not been heard of and the the above establishment is still in possession of the gentleman in whose charge they were given.

DEATH OF THE CITY MARSHALL-Moses Cook, City Marshal of Newport,
and Assessor of Campbell County, died at his residence at the corner of Rickey
and Jefferson streets, yesterday morning, after an illness of several months
duration. Mr. Cook has filled the office of City Marshall for two terms
and was elected to the same position in August last for the third time. He
served one year as President of the City Council and was a member of that body
for several terms, representing the Third Ward.
He was also at one time principal Deputy Sheriff of Campbell County. In all these positions he was accounted an efficient officer. He was a leading member of the Democratic party of Newport and an active and influential politician. His death is generally regretted.
