Goyernor-Elect
Goebel Shot Down.
DASTARDS ATTEMPT TO
MURDER TIE DEMO.
GRAFT LEADER.

VIA L
Frankfort, Ky, Jan 3o-While
walking through the capitol grounds
on his way.to the capitol building at
10 minutes af;er IL o'clock this
morning. William Goebel. the Demo
cratic contestee for governor OF
Kentucky, was shot down and very
dangerously wounded.
Harlaud Whitaker, farmer from
Butler county, the home county OF
Governor Taylor. is now In the jail
at Louisville charged with the crime
There is no direct evidence against
Whitaker and he was placed under
arrest more because be was caught
around the capital building when the
shots we're fired than for ony other
anparent reason. he denies in the
most positive manner that be bad
any connection with the shooting or
knew anything about it. He was
running towards the scene of the
shooting and not away from it when
he was arrested.
Senator Goebel was wounded by a
rife ball Of calibre, not over 80,
VIII ;h struck him in the right side
Just below the arm pit. The bali
passed through the back part of the
righ. lung. across the body IN a
line, passing out below the
left shoulder blade. The vital organs
were not injured with the exception
of the right lung.
Mr.. Goebel was on his way to the
Senate chamber in company with Col
Jack Chinn and Warden Eph Lillard
of the Frankport penitentlary- Mr..
Lillard was few feet in advance of
Goebel anc ,ninn, who were walking
side by side, Goebel being on the
right and Chinn upon the left.
From the outer edge of the capitol
grounds to--the step Of the capitol
building the distance is about 800
feet. Two thirds of this had been
paesed and the men were walking
slowly when suddenly shot rang
out from large three story
building which stands so feet east of
the capitol building This building
is used for Offices By reariy y all the
leading officials of the State, Govern
or Taylor and the secretary OF state
having rooms on the first floor
As the shot was beard Goebel gave
a quick involuntary exclamation OF
pain and made an effort to draw his
own revolver His strength was
UNEQUAL to the task, however, and be
sank upon the pavement. Wits
great rapidi,y several more shots
were fred, the bullets al! etriklag the
brick sidewalk close to where Goe-
bel lay None Of them touched Dim,
however
Li.lard hastily turned around TO
aid Goebel, who was supported by
Chinn, who had his arms about hin
almost ss soon as he touched the
pavement "Ge, help" said Chion
to Lillard, aud turning to Gcebel he
asked "Are you hurt, Goebel !!
Did they ge, you ?''
.'Tney have got me this time"
said Goebel. IL guess they have
killed me
In less than a minute crowd OF
nen was around Goebel He was
losing much blood and was becoming
