ANOTHER FATAL AFFRAY AT BELLEVUE

Patsy Cook Dies From Injuries Received at the Hands of E. Ellinghouse

A rumpus occurred in one of Bellevue’s prohibition saloons, known as “Arn’s 
Place.” New year’s night, about 10 o’clock. E. Ellinghouse, bar tender, was 
behind the bar at the time when Patsy Cook, who was in a state of 
intoxication, entered the place and called for a glass of beer. Ellinghouse 
accepted Cook’s nickel, but only drew him a half glass of the amber beverage. 
Cook demanded the full worth of his money, which was denied. Then one word 
brought on another, when Ellinghouse struck Cook with a glass, felling him to 
the floor. Cook then received a kick in the pit of his stomach from 
Ellinghouse and was dragged out upon the sidewalk, where he lay for half an 
hour in terrible agony, when he was found by his friends and carried home on a 
stretcher. Cook at this writing is in a very critical condition, and the 
doctors say he cannot recover. Ellinghouse is under bonds to await the result 
of Cook’s injuries.

LATER-A special from Bellevue to the SENTINEL Monday morning, stated that Cook 
died that day and that Ellinghouse has been bound over to await the action of 
the grand jury.
