THAT AWEUL STORY.

INDIANAPOLIS, December q. The chief
topic of conversation to day about the

ed sssissi uation story telegrsphed from

nounced upon all sides, and has tired up
8 pretty stroog feeling Of Indignation
among the President-elsct's friends, which
there is reason 10 believe is shared in by
the General himself
The Associated Press correspondent is
advised that reports have heen sent out
this evening TO several papers telling that
the story had its foundati)u in the
frequent trips alleged to have been
made in the evening during the csmpsigG
by Gen. Harrison to Mspltton, the sulu-
mer residence of Theodore Hugey, Presi-
dent o! the indianapolis National Back,
with whom (so the story goas) Gen. Hlrri-
son passed several nights, being accom-
panied by an armed guard. These erTo
neou5 stltements having Eeeu repeated to
q correspondent are believed TO have fur
nIshed the slim grounds for the concoction
OF the attempted assassination story. The
/ facts are that GeD. Hanison never was cut

Duraut his life.
Four detectives wsylsid him in the
woods at night, took him at great disad.

life by standing ten feet away and firing
twenty shots at him in rapid succession
but Capt. Duraut has a charmed life ana
he male his escape without injury. Just
how Capt. Dursnt became a smuggler,
