Fit HUE IS BLAMED FOB HIS OWN W
There seems to be very little sym*
pathy displayed for Frank Cochrane by
his widow or her relatives at Seattle,
according to interviews and other state
ments made in the newspapers there
subsequent to the shooting. The fol
lowing excerp's from these give not
only expressions of opinion but further
fnformation concerning the parties:
The Seattle Star of January 10 has
this under a San Francisco date:
Chief of Police Biggy has received a
telegram from the wife of Frank It.
Bell, who shot and killed Frank Coch
rane in a saloon last Tuesday. Bell ie
at the Irving sanitarium and his
oonditioa is critical as an extreme high
fever has set lu. No one Is permitted
to ??e him today. The three shots
flred all took effect, one of them shat
tered he bone in the right arm and
entered the right ohoulder, the other
entered the pelvic cavity and penetrat
ed vital organs The third shot was
taerelv a flesh wound. One bullet was
removed from Bell's arm, but on ac
count of h:s weak condition, no other
operations will be performed until hit
condition improves.
ON FRIErtOLY TERMS
The P.-I. has this:
Mrs Ella Cochran is living in Seattle
at the home of her parents, Mr and
Mrs. Robilad. 110 Howard street. She ?
declines to discus the tragdey, except
to state tha- h-r relations with F. K.
Brsll wa< strict y prouer.
Mrs. Bell and her daughter are stay
ing at the home of friends. They have
left the family residence at 1420 Six
trenth avenue north. Mrs. Bell has
referrtdall matters pertaining to the
traged\ to ?.ev, B H. Lingenfelter.
The Brll and Rjbillard families have
been on friendly u rms for years, ?t.d
Bell, accord'ng to Mr. Roblllard, Coch
ran's father-in-law. often took memb
ers of the family out in bis automo
bile. He says that BjII took Cochrane,
tne man with whom he fought theduel,
to th- depot, on one occasion, when he
was leaving Seattle on a trip to Nevada.
BLAME COCHRANE
The Timet says:
Mre. Bell baa disappeared from her
home at 1630 Thirty eighth Avenue
North, taking her three children with
her. She la aald to be stsylng with
friend* In thla city. Mrs. Cochrane
was Dot st the home of her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Robillard, 110
Howard Avenue North, today, bat her
father, an Alaska mlnlag prospector,
spoke for her. The burden of the tes
timony plaoes the entire responsibility
for his death on Cochrane'* own shoul
ders.
When Coohrane left here two weeks
ago he was apparently la good spirits.
He kissed his wife good-bye and told
the family that he was going to Love
lock, Nevada, a mining town, where he
expected to find eMploymeat at dealing
faro.
Robillard tald this morning:
'?I joined the ruth to Alaska io- J898,
and my family same to Seattle in 1901,
residing here ever since. Among tht
first persons the family became ac
quainted with were Mr. and Mrs.
Frank R Bell. That intimacy stand
today. Our families have visited out
wlih the other, and Mrs. Cochran -, be
fore and sinee her marriage, two year?
ago, baa been particularly frlendl\
with both Mr. anj Mrs. Bell. Whrn
the latter w. s aick recently she spent a
week at the home nursing her.
LEFT DESTITUTE
'?In April, 1800, Cochrane was mar.
rled to my daughter, Ella, at Seward,
Alaaka, where she was vlsltlDg me at
the time. He was 43 years old at the
time and she was omy 22. He was a
gambler; that U, he dealt faro whe n
there was nothing else for him that
was paying so well.
"List April Cochrane and his wife
returned to Seattle, the latter preced
ing her husband a few weeks, as he re
main ad over at Sitka to take a cure for
rheumatism. Upon arriving here he
stayed at my homo with his wifo and
met Bell many time 3. We were vary
intimate and more like one big family
than otherwise. There may hare been
a tew little thlogs that happened that
would inflame a jealous nature, but
there was nothing Improper at any
time between my d tughter and Bell.
''After a ten days' stay, Cochrane
left for the Nevada goldfields. Three
times since that departure he returned
to Seattle to remain n few days at a
time. His wife wan left praetiaally to J
c
our o&re, as he vu not providing for t
her, and at the ead he left her abeo- ?
lutelj deatl'.ute."
Both men were member* of the Be
nevolent and Protective Order of Elka, i
Cochrane belonging to the lodge at n
/ n
Skagway and Bell attached to the local t
lod^e, The Skagway lodge haa been
notified of hla death and of the dcetl
tute coodition of hla widow. No ac
tion on the disposal of his body will be '
taken until after the Skagway people
have been heard from.

London, July 10.? The war talk with
reference to Japan. and the United '
States does not arouse much interest in
England. All the London papers take
he view that there is little to base the
talk upon. They argue that there is
aot apparent cause and, further, that
japan is in no position financ'aUy to
enter upon auch an undertaking. It Is
figured out that Japan is noarly bank
