BOLD PLOT
FRUSTRATED
WOMAN WOULD HAVE .e.@ e.@ ~ q.
i BEEN AN ASSASSIN.
Attempt on Life Of Vice Admiral Dou-
basoff Was Unsuccessful Agitation
Of Wouid-be Assassin Attracted the
Attention Of Guards.

Moscow, March GA boldly planneL
attempt on the life of Vice Admiral
Doubasoff, governor general OF Mos
cow and member OF the council Of the
empire, was frustrated today. AS in
the case OF Vice Admiral Chouknin,
who on Feb. 9 OF this year was the OBJ
jett of a terrorist attack, the would be
assassin was woman and her method
was practically the same as that of the
woman who attempted the life Of
Chouknin. Representing that she
came from personal friends OF the gov
ernor general, she gained admittance to
the chancellery but her agitation at
.tracted the attention OF an aide, who
noticed particularly the Mxuriance OF
the woman's hair, which was coiffed
high up on her head When she was
interrogated she attempted 10 flee, but
was seized and searched and a small
bomb was discovered concealed in her
tresses. The identity OF the woman
has not been established.

MYSTERIOUS DETECTIVES
STIR UP LARINIORE

Larimore, March 6-This city. IS all
stirred UP over the work Of two de-
tectiyes who invaded the home Of O Al
Cornforth Saturday night about 6:3o
o'clock The detectives went to the
home Of Mr.. Cornforth and ordered
Mrs Cornforth to 60 with them to the
lookup. Leo Cornfortt, son of Mrs.
CornfoFth iilterfered in behalf of his
mother, but was so roughly handled
Ithat he had to desist. Mrs Cornforth
accompanied the detectives until tiiev
reached the residence Of Thomas Re-
gan, when she bolted into the house
and was followed BY one Of the detec-
|tives, IA butcher knife was the sfrst
Iiil trument she used to defend herself
but the detective pulled gun and there
was any amount Of excitement for a
few minutes. Al telephone message was
sent to the chief of police, but when he
arrived the detectives had made their
escape.
A very peculiar thing ia connection
with the event was that the detectives
went straight to the Office of Mr. Corn
forth and told him what they had done.
He seemed to be dunbfounded and said
nothing Immediately after that the two
strangers left and have not been seen
since. although a thorough search has
bee made. AS soon as Mr.. .Regatl heard
|of the excitement at his house, nc took
steps to find the detectives and have them
arrested for the abrupt and insulting
way his home was invaded. 4 He Is Justly
Indignant at the action Of The strangers
The affair created a great sensation and
the whole town is worked up to d high
pitch of excitement. Many think that
the Two men were not detectives but a
pair OF buffers employed to frightei1
Mrs. Cornforth into more peaceful
way of living. The two detectives
had been stopping at the Sherman house
for d week and claimed to Be from ST.

at Larirnore, and some think that the
detectives have been sent out BY the gov
eminent to trace Out the writer There
are SO many conflicting opinions that il.
SIS hard to find out the circumstances
of the strange incident.
Another peculiar feature Of The matter
Is the coarse work of the detectives.
Before going to the residence of Mrs.
Cornfortil the detectives went to the
power house, located in the same buildAs
ing with the jail. and left a steel bar
and other tools which some think were
placed there To assist them iii making
their escape in case they were taken to
Jail. IF the detectives are caught there
Is now every indication that there will

GRUEsoM,E MURDER.

Appleton, Wis, March GA grae-
some story viii be recited in the cir
cult court here in a few days when.
Wenzel E. Kabat is arraigned before
a jury on the charge OF numbering
Michael McCarty, a farmer living near
Kaukauna, and cremating the body.
Yet Kabat says he has never uttered
profane word and has never used
tobacco. But he is passionately fond
OF sweets. On entering the Jail he
asked the sheriff to include in his bill
Of fare at least one pie a day and a
pound of candy. The sheriff refused,
but when his passion for candy became
known women began to send him
sweets. At Christmas time he receiy-
ed seven boxes OF candy, and some OF
the women have kept him supplied ever
since. a
McCarty was a bachelor and lived
alone on his farm three miles from
Kaukauna. His only enfploye was JUL
ius Heinlke, a boy OF IA, and he was
the last person except the murderer
known to have seen McCarty alive
! Heimke reported at the barn one
morning, and, according to the story
he will tell at the trial. he found Kabat
lin possession Kabat told him he had
bought the farm and that McCarty
would never return. 81.
An hour after this Heimke found
that his new employer had started
huge bonfire in a secluded spot quar-
ter of a mile away from the house.
Next day Kabat sold most OF the
personal property on the farm.
Later bones were found near the
bonfire, and Kabat was arrested charg
ed with murder. 35

LITTLE BOY KILLED.

Shaffer Well Known Here,
Terribly Iniured-Three
Frightful Acct
dents.

Two deplorable accidents occurred
near New Castle yesterday. a six
year old nephew of Rev. Carter, who
resides three miles below New Castle
was killed in a runaway accident.
The boy who was on a visit from his
home in Iowa, and a son of the min
lister had driven into a hay field for
load of hay, the horses ran into
yellow jackets nest anu were fright
fully stung by hundreds of yellow
jackets, the horses in their madness
ran away. the wagon was overturned
and the little boys neck was broken
The other boy was not seriously in
jured.
John Polka. a miner. was struck
by freight train the same day and
it was necessary to amputate his left
leg.
The same train which struck the
New Castle miner figured in an acct
dent from which Walter Schaffer, a
Colorado Midland brakeman, suffered.
He was switching cars during the
night and forgetting that he was on
the last car deliberately walked on
the end. The car was moving quite
fast. He struck the ground hard,
and rolled thirty feet down an em-
bankment. His right ankle was
crushed badly and three ribs were
broken. He was taken to Glenwood
Springs and his right leg was ampu-
tated below the knee He is also suf
fering from internal injuries. His re-
covery is very doubtful.
Shaffers' home is in Leadville He
