1t is the opinion of some stockmen
that in the attempt TO place about the
animal bounty law such safeguards as
to prevent fraud, our lawmakers have
knocked it silly as an effective meas
ure in reducing the number Of stock
destroying animals. Fault is found
with the provision requiring the pelts
of animals to be brought in to be
punched on certain days. The lack
of funds to make immediate pay
ments, compelling wolfers and others
to discount their certificates for cash
is also discouraging in the effort TO
rid the ranges of the pests. There is
undoubtedly considerable red tape at

but it has come about through an
earnest effort to check the various

GRAND DUKE AsSASSlNATED.
Sersius, Hated by Russian People.
Killed by a Bomb.

While Grand Duke Sergius was
| driving from the Nicholas pa4ace
| through the senate quarter, at Mos
COW, Friday Feb. II, a sleigh, in
which were two men. one of whom
was dressed as a workman, went
quickly ahead of the grand dukes
carriage. The sleigh then slowed up
to allow the carriage to pass, and at
that moment a bomb was thrown
beneath the carriage The force of the
explosion broke all the windows of
the law courts and the report was
heard outside the city. The carriage
was blown to pieces. The grand duke
was instantly killed. His head was
blown off, actually being separated
from his body, which was frightfully
mangled The coachman was also
killed on the arrest of the murder
ers neither of whom was known to
the police, one of them coolly said:
Il don't care. l have done my job"
The dead man, who was uncle and
brother -in-law of the czar, was in
tensely unpopular throughout Russia.
His harsh measures as governor gem
eral of Moscow aroused great hostil
ity, notably the expulsion of the Jews
from the central provinces and the
exile to Siberia of student rioters. His
life had been threatened and he mad
recently retired for safety inside the
ramparts of the Kremlin. He con-
stantly advised the ear against con-
cessions to the liberals, and his ac-
tivities resulted in his recall as gov
ernor general of Moscow and his
transfer to the governorship of the
Caucasus. The grand dukes wife,
Princess Elizabeth of Hesse, a sister
of the czarina, is much beloved by the 1
people.
Great fear is felt in st. Petersburg
for the safety of the royal family and |
the Romanoffs are kept in strict Sc
clusion. The attendance at the |
grand dukes funeral will be limited |
and great precautions have been OBJ
served in the arrangements. The iden-
tity of the assassin has not been es-
tablished, his papers and clothes of
fering no means of Identification and
MS pass being an evident forgery.
