THE ASSAILANT CAPTURED

Warsaw, March 26.-A bomb was thrown into the carriage of Baron Won Nolken, chief of police of Warsaw, at o'clock this evening. It was report ed that the Baron was severely wound- cd.
 According to the latest information the attack on Baron Won Nolken was the result of an elaborate conspiracy of the revolutionary party. Shortly be- fore s o'clock tonight 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 sta- ton wounding seven persons. two of them dangerously. The man started to run away. but was caught by the cap- tain of the station. He was found to be a Jew, but his identity has not yet been discovered.
 A telephone message was immediate ly sent to Baron Won Nolken at the City Hall. informing him of the out rage. Baron Won Nolken, accompanied by a police official. took a carriage and started immediately to Praga. When passing the castle where the governor general resides. man standing on the pavement threw a bomb at the car riage. Baron Won Nolken, who was sitting on the side nearest the assail- cut, received the full charge of the bomb, while his companion escaped un- hurt The coachman was thrown from the box and the carriage was smashed.
 Injuries Serious.
 Baron Won Nolken was removed to the City Hall and Doctors were sum- moned, who found he had received in- juries on the head, neck. arm and leg which are believed to be serious.
 Meanwhile the police official accom- panying Baron Won Nolken saw the bomb thrower fleeing and pursued and caught up with him, but the criminal proved the stronger and tore himself away.
 Another policeman fired twice after him without result. Half an hour lat CT a man was found dead in Sowia Street, whom the police believe to be the bomb thrower. The police think the man shot himself to escape arrest. . A girl who was passing the spot 'whe the borntt wns thrnwn was wounded by splinters and had to be taken to the hospital.
 According to the theory of the police the revolutionists calculated upon Baron Won Nolken going to Praga on learning of the explosion of the bomb at the station there and knew he must pass the castle. that being the only road in which he could reach the only bridge across the Vistula. The affair caused great excitement. A popular rumor syas the revolutionists adopted this course of informing the police that they have more bombs besides those discovered in the Powinsky cemetery Saturday.
 Baron von Nolken Is very unpopular. He is hated by the masses of the Polish population, who hold him responsible for the sanguinary suppression of the disturbances here at the end of Janua- ry He has been here only a year. having come from St. Petersburg, where he was chief of the mounted division of the police.
 Bomb ThrOwer Captured.
 According to later information the bomb which exploded at the Praga police station was not thrown into the courtyard, but into a room of the sta ton where the men assembled before going on duty. Six policemen were wounded and all the furniture as well as one wall was destroyed. The bomb thrower in trying to escape met a policeman and shot twice. wounding the officer in the stomach. The prisoner himself was wounded and has been placed in the hospital.
 The man found dead in Sowia Street proves to be a plain clothes police man who was seen pursuing Baron Won Nolken's assailant The police be- lieve that the latter turned on the policeman and shot him dead.
