st. Petersburg, Jan. 1s.-While the
czar was returning from the ceremo-
ny of blessing the river Neva this
afternoon, a shot was fired from a
crowd which lined the route. 1t is
presumed the bullet was intended for
the emperor, The shot entered a
window at the corner of the palace
1t is reported a policeman was wound
ed.
After hearing the shot the emper-
or casually inquired If any damage
had been done. When he entered the
palace he went to the room into
which the bullet was fired and exam
ined the broken glass. He requested
that search be made for the bullet.
Accidental Artillery Shot.
From the size of the missiles which
broke the, windows of the palace it
is now believed the shrapnel shell
was fired from the other side of the
Neva. The missiles went SO high
none was injured. The car and his
suite were participating in services
in the chapel at the time the shot
was fired.
