TOM COOK Arizona Republican Newspaper July 5, 1909 Entering the delirious stage of typhoid fever, Tom Cook, who was taken to the A.C. hospital at Clifton a few days ago, wandered to the bathroom Thursday night and drank the contents of a vial of nitric acid, the nurses not discovering what the delirious patient had done until the burning of his throat made him press the call button for help. There had been no signs of delirium in the patient and for that reason Cook had not been constantly watched.
