A RATHER PECULIAR STORY.
alleged Attack On the Guard at the Vault
I'm Which President Remains
Repose at Canton.

Canton, O., Sept. ga strange
story comes from Westlawn cemetery
tonight, where a company of regu-
lars from Fort Wayne, Mich, are
guarding the vault in which the body
of the ate President Mckinley lies.
1t is to the effect that the guard on
duty on the top of the vault fired
4 shot at one man who refused to
heed his challenge; hat the shot was
diverted by another man who APP
peared from another direction, and
hat an effort was made to stab the
guard. The military regulations pre-
vent either the officers OIL men of the
post from being quoted on any mat
ter connected with their service, II
for this reason Capt. Biddle, who is in
command, was obliged to decline to
be quoted at the camp tonight! He
will make a full report to his SUI
periors at once.
Reliable authorities made the fol-
lowing statement:
Private Deprend was on guard duty
On top of the vault at a point COM
handing the entrance below, and the
approach from the rear. Shortly be-
fore 7:30 he saw what he took to be
h face of a man peering from be-
hind a tree about forty feet from
his post. He watched it for 20 min
Htes, he says, and at 7:45 saw the man
hurry to a tree ten feet nearer. He
challenged the man to halt, but this
was not needed, and the fellow ap-
preached nearer.
Deprepd leveled his gun and aimed
20 shoot for effect, but just at that
instant another nan who came to-
wards him from the opposite side,
caught the gun, threw it up and the
bullet was spent in the air. This same
nan struck Deprend on the right side
of the abdomen with a knife of other
sharp weapon, cutting an L shaped
cash in his overcoat an inch and a
half long each way and a smaller one
in his blouse. The flesh was not
broken, but was bruised under the
cuts in his clothing. Deprend strug-
gled, fell and rolled down the side of
the vault. Lieut.. Ashbridge, officer of
the day, was in front of the vault and
rushed to the top on hearing the
SAAot Odb hC 1hC AhddC SoOd lhC1 =
cape. All members of the company
on hearing the shot hurried to the
vault, and besides searching the ceme-
terry the guard was increased.
Deprend is a recruit enlisted in
New York four months ago. He is said
to be an excellent soldier and to have
a fine record with his officers. He
says the man who attacked him was
masked, but that the first one he saw
was not masked. He says the latter
carried a white package in his right
hand and something that glittered in
his left.
Since the incident stories have been
told in camp of some incendiary con-
~versation overheard in the crowds
that have visited the cemetery, in
Guiding n to-day alleging hat some
stranger said:
Lots of people would like to see
this whole thing blown up"
There are 20 soldiers at the Gene
terry, 20 of whom are constantly on
guard duty about the vault and camp.
