BOMB FOR FAURE
AN ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE

M One Was Injured-One Man

Real Perpetrator Escaped.

Paris, June IA. - An attempt was
made to 5 sassinate Felix Faure. pres
ident of the French republic. while he
was en- route TO Long Champs TO Wit
ness the Grand Prix.
While NJ. Faure's carriage was pass

which subsequently proved TO be a
piece OF tubing about six inches long
and two inches in diameter. charged
with powder and swan shot. exploded.
No one was injured by the explosion.
A man In the crowd. suspected as the
prime mover, was arrested. He gave
his name as Gallet, and made only the
briefest replies 10 questions put TO him
by the police. Gallet said that he had
no occupation. but resided at Laval
lers-Perret. The police are making a
thorough search of his lodgings. lie is
believed 10 be insane. for he shouted
as the carriage passed along so loud
ly as TO attract general attention in
the crowd. The police have also made
another arrest, in this case a youth,
but 1t is thought probable that the ac-
tual culprit escaped. The news OF the
attempt spread like wildfire through
the city, and when NJ. Faure returned
TO the Elysee the streets along the
route where it was known he would
drive, were crowded with people who
cheered him vociferously. The bomb
was a clumsily made affair. to which
a piece of fuse was attached, and the
fuse was probably lighted by a paper,
fixed in the end of a stick as soon as
the head OF the procession came into
view. The presumption is that at
the moment the fuse was lighted the
culprit fed, and in any case the bomb
could not have done much harm.
In the thicket where the police found
the remnants Of the bomb they found
a pistol on which We're engraved Mort
a Felix Faure." and the names Alsace-
Lorraine and Cologne. Near the pis-
toll was a small dagger bearing a sim
liar threatening inscription, and a few
feet away the police found a news
paper With a cartoon grossly insulting
to the president. This contained an
offensive inscription limiting at the ex-
ecution Of NJ. Faure.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press had an interview with an Of
fetal yno vas riding with NJ. Faure,
The official said: When the report
was heard a dense cloud of smoke
arose from the thicket and there was
CONSERVATION until ii was found that
no n had been injured. The police
sprang foryard but found the thicket
deserted. When the crowd say one of
the policemen holding the bomb they
jumped TO the conclusion that ne was
the perpetrator Of the outrage and
handled him roughly, clubbing him
with heavy walking sticks and umbrel-
las until is comrades rescued him
badly bruised and covered with blood.

Not Pearl Bryan,s Head.

Rushville, Ind, June IA. The dis
covery of a woman's head buried in
the earth in a cellar Of a vacant house
in the center of the city has aroused
intense excitement here. The facial
appearance gives rise to the belief that
the owner Of the head in her lifetime
possessed great beauty. A long cut
or incision in the skull over the right
ear tells how the woman met her fate.
The prevailing opinion is that the VIC
man was murdered, the body buried
elsewhere and her head buried in the
cellar. Many thing the head is that Of
Pearl Bryan. This woman has been
dead three or four years, while Pearl
Bryan met her death but a year ago,
which explodes that theory.
