LUNDERGANS PLACE CLOSED.
Most Popular Restaurant In County Went Cut
of Business Monday Night.

After keeping open house in this
village for l6 years and the only one
that was ever located here as long or
served the public as cyeditably. The
Lundergan restaurant closed its doors
Monday night and the place is being
dismantled, Mr. Lundergan and his
sister now Mrs Conrad Schwartz com
menced business on the same street
where it has been located ever since.
Miss Mary Lundergan has also beer
an able assistant there Tor years in
charge of-the cuisine
Starting with nothing but few
tables and chairs the place has grown
to be the best known restaurant in
Bennington county VIII Lundergan
was popular and both his sisters are
famous cooks and it is not strange that
they always had a house full of board
ers and large transient trade. The
first regular border that they had when
the restaurant was opened l6 years ago
has remained with them ever since aud
many have been there several years.
To them all when the doors were
closed for the last time, there was a
general feeling that they were going
away from home and there is a public
sentiment Of regret that the place
could not be retained as, if there is
one thing that the village needs, it is
good restaurant, and there is no
doubt but that they have kept one and
have always retained the cream of the
trade.
w II Lundergan has had a license
since the license law went into effect
aud has conducted the best known bar
in town and has had the best patro-
mage in this section.

ONLY SLIGHTLY WOUNDED
ANOTHER ATTEMPT EXTERIOR.
lists ON LIFE OF ADMIRAL -.
DOUBASSOFF.

st. Petersburg, Dec 17-Another
attempt on the life of Admiral Dou-
bassoff, ex-governor general of Mos.
COW, was made during the afternoon,
but he escaped with slight injuries.
Doubassoff was driving at l p. m. in
Sergiyewskaya street on his way to
the Tauride palace when two men
hurled bomb at his carriage. It ex-
ploded with great force, but only
slightly wounded the admiral. The
would-be assassins we're arrested.
DoubassOff had a remarkable es-
cape. The terrorists made a very de-
termined attack upon him. One man
approached the admiral and fired sew
eral shots at him with a revolver, but
missed. The terrorist then threw a
bomb at Doubassoff, which exploded
and wounded the admiral in the leg.
A bystander seized the admiraps as
sailant, whereupon a second terrorist
appeared and went through exactly
the same performance. The second
bomb thrown, however, did not ex-
plode and Doubassoff, although in
jured, closed with the terrorist and
held him until he was taken into Gus
tOdy.
