BoBRIKoFF DIES.
Governor General Of Finland Sue.
cumbs to Wounds inflicted
by Assassin.

e ~.
Helsingfors, Finland, June 1S.-Gen.
Bobrikoff, governor general Of Fin
land, who was shot Thursday morn
ing at the entrance to the senate, died
at one o'clock Friday morning.
The Russian flag at half-mast over the
governors palace Friday morning pro-
claimed to the people that Gen. Bobri-
koff was dead. There was no excite
ment in the city and no attempt at a
demonstration was made. The father,
mother, brother and sisters Of Schau-
mann, the assassin of Bobrikof, were ar
rested and subjected to searching ex-
animation, but late in the evening they
were released and allowed to return to
their country home. How far the
Swedish party is implicated in the kill
ing Of the governor general has not been
established, but the authorities are con-
WINGED that Schaumann had accom-
plices who found in the brooding, half
fanatical student ready tool.
Warning OF the intended assassinatio
Of the governor general reached the au-
thorities in December last, but Bobri-
koff, against the pleading Of his official
family, declined an escort. A few
months later this warning was repeated
and Bobrikoff thereafter was attended
by small guard and a number of se-
cret service men except when within the
senate building, the senate having re-
quested to be allowed to furnish protec-
ton for the general there.

Don't Believe the Story.

Des Moines, Ia, June 18.-Harry Allen,
aged IA years, living near Oseola, in
Clarke county, was found lying bleeding
In the road by his brother. A bullet had
pierced his forehead. He lived only long
enough to say that he had been shot
down by strange man who rose from
the bushes as he passed along the road.
Officers. however, take little stock in
the story and expect to find that some
,ne living in this vicinity fired the fatal
shot.
