An ATTEMPTED
ASSASSINATION
Alleged Insane Man Shot at
Chicago Judge of Probate
This Morning.
Associated Press to The Eveninx Time.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Chicago, Dec. 21.-An attempt was
made by Frank E. Ellerbrock of this
city, to assassinate Judge Charles s.
Cutting of the probate court. The at
tempt was almost successful, and it
is difficult to understand how the
judge escaped injury. He was, how
ever, unharmed. When Judge Cutting
entered the court house this morning,
he was followed into the elevator by
Ellerbrock, who was disappointed by a
decision rendered some time ago by
Judge Cutting. Ellerbrock stepped
close to the side of the Judge and
drawing a revolver, placed it against
the judges side and pulled the trig-
ger. The Judge moved slightly at the
instant the cartridge exploded and the
bullet passed through his clothing
without touching him. Ellerbrock
made another attempt to fire the re-
volver, but was overpowered before
he could do so. He is thought to be in
sane.

President of "U." Of Minnesota Had
Row With Student.
Associated Press to The Evenine Times,
Minneapolis, Dec. 21.-Because he
refused to obey the commands of the
president of the university, John
Gleason, student president of the ath-
letic board of control of the state uni
versity, was yesterday threatened with
expulsion from the institution.
Believing that he was right in his
contention against faculty control of
athletics, and that the faculty, had ex-
ceeded it's authority, Gleason refused
to comply with the orders of President
Northrop, and a wordy war followed
between the two, with Prof. James
Paige, one of the faculty members on
the athletic board, an occasional
speaker in the conference
The trouble started some time ago
when Gleason requested the resigna-
tion of Prof. Paige from the ticket
committee and Prof. w. E. Brooke
from the auditing committee of the
athletic board. He appointed student
members In their places.

was taken from the jail, Deputy Sheriff
Ruben l.. Smallwood, said that about
O'Clock man appeared outside the
jail and rang. He said that he had
prisoner. Deputy Smallwood saw
that he had no prisoner and refused
to admit him, whereupon he left.
Soon afterwards mob of about 60
men appeared before the Jail with
whipping post and endeavored to bat
ter down the door. Unsuccessful with
that means, they procured sledge and
pick and managed to break hole in
the door, through which one of them
crawled and unlocked the door. Then
five or six men entered the building
and proceeded to the warden's room,
where they encountered Warden
George Taylor, Deputies Smallwood
and James c. Grouse, and the night
watchman, Frank Marcellus. At the
point of pistol the warden surren-
dered the keys. In a few moments
more, Davis was secured and carried
out bodily. He made no resistance.

His appearance outside the Jail was
greeted with yells He was kicked and
beaten by members of the lynching
party and in few minutes was taken
to the brick yard hill on the Anna
polls, Baltimore and Washington rail-
road. Here Davis was closely ques-
toned, and again admitted that he had
assaulted his victim, and repeated that
he would have done it living or dead.
AS he made this assertion, those
who heard him raised cry, the rope
was quickly knotted and the moose
slipped over his head and he was
hoisted up to the limb of tree. AL
most before his feet had left the
ground, a revolver cracked and bull
let cut a cash through his scalp 1t
was the signal for general firing and
at least 100 bullets must have riddled
his body.
After few minutes the body was
cut down and pieces of rope and
clothing were taken by many as SOU
venirs. The mob then dispersed.

Commissioner Franklin X. Lane. who
is investigating the car shortage sit
uation in the northwest, which was
made public at the White House to-
day:
"The enclosed clippings will give
you fairly correct idea of the fuel
and Car situation conditions in the
northwest. Harlan and myself on ar
irving sent kilograms to every town
in North Dakota, asking if they need
ell coal. The answers show little pres
ent suffering, but most dismal out
look. We then called the railroad
officials before us, and they promised
to carry coal to all distressed points
This noon we wired back to all towns
AS there are plenty of ore cars now
available for handling coal, l think
the danger of distress from lack of
fuel may be said to be passed. It
takes grain car on an average ten
days to cover $50 miles of Great
Northern railroad"
