Stanislaus Stambuoff several times within
recent years narrowly escaped assassination.
He was once shot at by young girl in re-
venge for the execution Of Major Paniza, for
which stambuloff. as Premier, was held re-
sponsible. On another occasion he was stoned
for al alleged insult to Prince Ferdinand.
In 1884 Stambuloff first came into the
public eye as President OF the Sobranje. He
has been for years the leading statesman Of
Bulgaria, in fact. he was often alluded to as
the Bismarck Of the small autonomy. It was
through his indefatigable and shrewd diplo-
macy that Bulgaria was emancipated
from tho oppressive regime of Russia.
The raising OF Prince Ferdinand of Coburg
upon the throne was also the work OF Stam-
buloff. No Bulgarian is more hated by the
Russians than he. and the Russian element
in his own country never failed to show
their enmity on every favorable occasion.
When, a year ago. Prince Ferdinand ac
cepted his resignation from the head of the
Bulgarian Cabinet. it was with the object of
seeking to effect reconciliation with Rus
sia, but the enemies OF Stambuloff were ever
on the alert and have harassed Bugaria's
ruler continually OF late, as the friend Of
Stambuioff sought to place him back to
power. Ii was considered possible that
Russian influence had caused the ex-Prime
Minister'S assassination.

Bulsaria's Former Premier Murderously
Set Upon in Sofia.
While ex-Prime Minister Stambuloff. ac-
companied by NJ. Petkoff, was walking home
from the Union Club. Sofia, Bulgaria, he was
attacked by four unknown men. Two OF
them shot him with revolvers. while the
other two stabbed him. NJ. Stanibulofr fell
to tho ground groaning. He was removed
to his residence and physicians were
summoned. After an examination Of
tho wounds the doctors announced
that there was little hope Of NJ.
Stambulof's recovery. NJ. Stambuloff was
wounded in more than twenty places. He
raised his hands to guard his head. and his
wrists were nearly severed. Both hands had
to be amputated. n. Petkoff was slightly
wounded. The first report that all four Of
the assassins escaped was erroneous. One Of
them was arrested.

San Francisco, April 2l.-The coro.
aer's jury has returned verdict de.
claring Durant guilty Of the murder Of
Minnie Williams.
When Durant was shown the yer.
dict after his return to the city pris.
on his face flushed for the first time
since the first terrible crime for which
he is accused was discovered.
Miss Gertrude Taber, step-sister
OF Elmer Wolff. the young man whose
name has been frequently mentioned
In the case, has come forward and
Identified the pocketbook which was
found on the Sandstone road by q
clam digger, and which contained
some papers, among which was a
business card Of DIR. Vogel on the
back Of which was written the name
of Miss Williams.
Miss Tabor says that she missed the
pocketbook some time ago while out
riding, and explainst the presence of
the card by saying that Miss Williams
visited her some weeks ago and wrote
her address on one of DIR. yogeps
cards.
Elmer woln's testimony at the in.
quest was sllghtly mixed, and some Of
Durant's friends thought he knew
more OF the crime than he wished to
tell. and pointed to the finding of the
pocketbook to substantiate their claim
lt-is q peculiar colncident. that the
pocketbook should have been lost by
one SO closely related to Wolff and
found at this critical time.
Mrs. Durant, mother of the accused.
says she has evidence for the defense
which will so to upset the bearing OF
the statement OF Witness Hill, who
testified before the coroner's Jury that
he had seen couple answering the
description Of Durant and the dead
girl standing near the church about
$50 on the night of the murder, and
who afterward entered the church
yard. Mrs. Durant says that young
couple had come to her and stated
that they entered the church yard
about the. time Hill claims to have
seen couple pass into the front gate.
To-day the police received informa.
tion from a laundry that pair ot
bloody trousers had been left 70,
cleaning. The police say that the
trousers are too big for Durant, but
that they will trace the clue to fine
the owner.
