Dei was shot and very seriously injured
TINS morning at ten minutes after IL
O'Clock while passing through the state
house yard on his way to the capitol
building. Two shots were fired from a
rifle, only ONE of them taking effect,

PIT to the hip. The ball passed entirely
through the body, coming out below the

by the physicians in charge that the
wound will prove fatal unless compltca-
tiOns set in.
Harland Whitaker, farmer from But
Ter county, KY, is under arrest charged
with having fired the shots, but he de-
nies he had anything to do with it. Five
revolvers were found upon him when he
was taken into custody.
Goebel, in company with Colonel Jack
Chtnn and Warden Iillard of the Frank
fort penttentiary, was walking 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 fired from
a third story window of a building occu-
of state and other leading officials Of

Butler Is In Danger.

New York, Jan. 30.-A London dispat tch
to the Evening World to-day says: Bull
ler's danger is now forcing itself on the
experts. The committee Of ma
t1onal defense Is gravely considering It.
Lord Roberts it is reported, cabled the
committee that unless Butler and his
forces arrive safely from their present
position to the South of the Little Tugela
river they viii be in imminent danger
of having their communications cut.
Lord Roberts has pointed out that Bull
Ter has with him an immense TRANSPORT
train, carrying ammunition and supplies,
This interferes with the mobility of his
army. H 3sY
Buffers main force is now about %
miles from it's base at Frere and at Chic
vetey. It is between the Big TugeIa river
over which 1t has retreated and the Lit
tie Tugela river over which It has to re-
treat in order to begin the march to its
base. That part of it comprising Lyt-
tleton's brigade may still be on the north
side of the Tugela at Potgieter's drift.
though it is generally believed 1t, too,
has retreated over the river. It will take
days for Buffers army to get back to it's
base.
Meantime the Beers are in force at Co
lenso only few miles away from that
base. Last Tuesday they crossed the
river there and made a reconnaissance of
the British camp, apparently with view
of ascertainfng the strength of the force
which Butler left behind to guard his
base and communications. The party
that crossed came in contact with Bull
ler's rear guard and killed several Brit
ish.
That reconnaissance showed the pur.
pose on the part of the Beers to cut off
Butler. Should they hurl an over
whelming force over the Tugela and
crush the British at Chieveley they would
have Butler in trap.
