compositor. Rasmussen fired two
shots from a revolver at the Premier,

would-be assassin was seized by a
couple of detectives, a number OF whom
have constantly been in attendance on
the Premier for some time past, owing
to the extreme hatred of the populace
toward him and other members of the
Cabinet. Rasmussen was hurriedly
taken to prison, the officials fearing
that an attempt at rescue would be
