commander of the Charleston. That boat
was cruising the Pacific at the time that
trouble was brewing with Chill. Remey
was chosen because of his superior capa-
bildies as commander and strategist

Rank of Cambridge Ia Robbed

The Bank of Cambridge, in the village
of that name, was robbed the other night
by four men who dug into the vault and
made two attempts with dynamite to Sc
cure the banks cash. They succeeded in
blowing the front of tie safe to pieces
and SCATTERING the building, but did not
get into the inner portion, where the bulk
of the cash is kept. They secured SIG

Successful.
Five Shots Fired, Only One Of
Which Was Efectiye-Great

grave fears are entertained. He him.

FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. 91.-senator
William Goebel was shot and very Sc.
riously injured at 11:10 a. M, while
passing through the state house yard on
his way to the capitol building.
The shots were fred from rife, only
one Of them taking effect. It struck
MIR. Goebel in the right side, one.third
OF the distance down from the armpit to
the hip. The ball passed entirely
through the body, coming out below the
right shoulder blade. It is thought by
the physicians in charge that the wound
will not prove fatal, unless complications
set in. Harland Whitaker. farmer
from Butler county, is under arrest,
charged with having fired the shots, but
he denies that he had anything to do
with it. Five revolvers were found
upon him when he was taken into Gus

How It Occurred.
Mr.. Goebel, in company with Colonel
Jack Chinn and Warden Eph Lllard Of
the Frankfort penitentiary, was walk
ing up the sidewalk leading from the
street to the capitol building, Goebel
being on the right Of the three. When
the three men were two-thirds of the
distance from the street to the capitol, a
shot was fred from the third story Of
the building, occupied by the offices Of
the governor, secretary Of state and
other leading officials Of the state. The
ball struck Mr.. Goebel in the side and
he instantly dropped to the pavement.
Chinn and Lillard instantly seized him,

the escape OF anybody from the struc-
ture. John w. Miles, an aged citizen
OF Frankfort, was standing at the foot
Of the stairway leading from the first
floor of the Office building to the west.
when man, evidently a mountaineer,
came rushing down the steps. Miles
instantly threw his arms around the
man, and held him, calling loudly for
help. It was close at hand, and no es-
cape was possible for the prisoner, even
had he attempted to make the effort

and the slightest attempt at resistance
would have resulted in his instant
death. He submitted to arrest very
quietly, claiming again and again that
he had nothing to do with the shooting.
He gave his name as Harland Whitaker
and said that he was in the state office
building when he heard the shots, and
believing the long-predicted battle in
the streets in Frankfort had come at
last, hastened out to see what was going
on. He was searched at once and three
large revolvers, all fully loaded, were
taken from him. None Of the cartridges
had been exploded and there was no
sign OF any Of the weapons having been
in use.
Maintained His Innocence.
He was hurried to the Jail, three
blocks away, with all possible speed, for
1t was feared an attempt might be made
to lynch him, and it was accomplished
before the crowd could lay hands on
him. He did not lose his composure for
an instant, Notwithstanding the excite.
ment around him.

trouble they have been talking about
had just commenced and ran down
the steps to see what was going on. A
man grabbed me and other men got
around me, and here I am, and that's
all ] know, and that's fact"
Deliberate Attempt to XIII.
That the attempt to kill Mr.. Goebel
was deliberate admits of no doubt what
ever, and the only wonder is that it
failed. There was no reason why it
should have failed, except for poor
craftsmanship. The window from
which the shots were fired was raised
about eight inches from the bottom, and
the man who fred at him had a perfect
range of not over 500 feet with Goebel's
tall figure in black overcoat in sharp
relief against the white snow.covered
ground behind him. It is claimed by
many judges of good shooting who
abound in Frankfort at the present time,
that the wouldbe assassin was misled by
the looseness Of the overcoat and fired
too much to one side.
The soldiers who have been on duty
for two weeks are in charge Of the state
capitol building.
They rushed from the arsenal already
uniformed within very few minutes
after the attempt at assassination was
made, and in double.quick time pro.
ceeded to the state house. Guards were
placed at all the entrances and no one
allowed to pass in.
