Warsaw, March PA bomb was
thrown into the carriage of Baron Won
Nolken, chief of police of Warsaw, at
8 o'clock Sunday evening. The baron
was severely wounded.
According to latest information, the
attack on Baron Won Nolken was the
result of an elaborate conspiracy of
the revolutionary party. Shortly be-
fore o'clock an elegantly dressed
man went to the police station at
Praga large suburb of Warsaw, on
the other side of the Vistula, and
threw a bomb into the courtyard of
the station, wounding seven persons,
two of them dangerously. The man
started to run away, but was caught
by the captain of the police. He was
found to be Jew, but his identity has
not yet been discovered.
A telephone message was immedi-
ately sent to Baron Won Nolken at the
city hall informing him of the outrage,
Baron Won Nolken, accompanied by a
police official, took a carriage and
started Immediately for Praga. When
passing the castle where the governor
general resides a man standing on the
pavement threw a bomb at the car
riage. Baron Won Nolken, who was sit
ting on the side nearest the assailant,
received the full charge of the bomb,
while his companion escaped unhurt
The coachman was thrown from the
box and the carriage was smashed.
Baron Won Nolken was removed to
the city hall and doctors were sum-
who found he had received in
iuries on the head, neck, arm and leg,
which are believed to be serious.
Meantime, the police official accom-
panying Baron Won Nolken saw the
bomb thrower fleeing and pursued
and caught up with him, but the Grim
NAL proved the stronger and tore him
self away. Another policeman fired
twice after him without result. Half
an hour later a man whom the police
believe to be the bomb thrower, was
found dead in Sowia street The po-
lice think the man shot himself to
escape arrest.
A girl who was passing the spot
when the bomb was thrown was
wounded by splinters and was taken
% the hospital
According to the theory of the police
he revolutionists calculated upon
Baron Won Nollzen going to Praga on
earning of the explosion of the bomb
1t the station there, and knew he
must pass the castle, that being the
only route by which he could reach
he only bridge across the Vistula.

A popular rumor says that the revolu-
ionaries adopted this course of in
the police that they have
more bombs besides those discovered
n the Powonski cemetery Saturday
Baron Won Nolken is very unpopu-
ar He is hated by the masses of the
Polish people, who held him respon-
iible for the sanguinary suppression of

vear having come from st. Peters
'urg, where he was chief of the mount
ID division OF the police.
According to later information, the
,omb which exploded at the Praga
police station, was not thrown into

,ourt station, where the men assem-
lied when on duty. The furniture as
veil as one wall was destroyed. The
'omb thrower, in trying to escape,
net policeman and shot twice,
