PARIS VIEW OF THE OUTRAGE,
DiaboIical Deed Will Set Back the
Cause of Reform.

Paris, Aug. 26.-Most of the news
papers today deplore and criticise In
the severest terms the bomb outrage at
the residence of the Russian premier,
NJ Stolypin, last Saturday. and agree
that il will act only as setback TO the
cause of reform. The socialist organs,
however, seek to palliate the offense by
contending that the government has ex-
asperated the revOlutionists by con-
slant bad faith. trickery and brutal
acts. The Temps in an editorial says:
The universal reprobation which
these political crimes arouses is in
creased by the fact that Premier Stoly-
pin cannot be called either an uncum-
promising reactiOnary or a bloodthirsty
bureaucrat. We always considered that
1t was with remarkable good faith that
he devoted himself to what he believed
was for the good of Russia, although he
may have been mistaken in the means
he chose. 1t is to be feared that a mil
itary dictatorship pure and simple will
follow Stolypin's timid liberalism, but
If that statesman wishes a fine lesson
from the misfortune path before him,

bic a system Of constitutional legality.
thus replying by a noble gesture to the
odious act of which he is the victim and
spare the country further of these rep
rehensible deeds and useless cruelties.

LEFT HIS VICTIM TO DIE.
Cowardly Course Pursued by Joseph
Sheedlo, Who Mistook a Man
for a Deer in Michigan.

Marquette Mich, Aug. 26.-Mistaken
for deer and shot, Guy Harlow of
I.athrop was left to die OF drowning in
shallow Deer creek near the point
where Marquette, Delta and Alger
counties meet.
AS soon as he had fired the shot
which rendered Harlow unconscious.
though it was not fatal i'm itself, the
man who thought the brown coat was
that OF deer took to his heels and ran
more than a mile before he met
farmer, TO whom he and his companion
related the incident.
Joseph Sheedlo and Harlow were fish
ing in Deer creek, going toward each
other. When they were near together
Sheedlo and ]. Rabadue, his compan-
ION, heard a splashing in the water
Sheedlo carried a rifle in the hope of
seeing a deer, he has since acknowl-
edged.
Thinking that the noise had been
made by deer, the homesteader cooked
his gun. He saw Harlow's brown shirt
and fired.
I've got a deer" he called to his
companion.
You've got q man, you mean. Didn't
you hear him yell?" replied Rabadue
But instead of going TO the aid Of
the victim the two men fed from the
scene. Subsequently they met a farm
er and told him a man had been killed
I'm the woods. The trio went back and
found Harlow lying drowned in the
creek.
The scene of the fatality was so near
the junction of the three counties
Marquette. Delta and Alger-that the
sheriffS and coronefs from the three
counties met at Lathrop and went over
the ground together. 1t was found
that the tragedy had occurred I'm Alger
county, and both Sheedlo and Rabadue
were taken to the county Jail at Mu-
nising, where they are awaiting exam
nation.
Cases OF the kind are covered by a
special statute enacted a few years ago
The maximum penalty provided is ten
years in prison.
A tragic coincident is the fact that
at almost the same hour that Harlow
was killed his son. who was employed
on the ore docks at Escanaba. fell off
one of the big piers and was drowned.

river Neva were shaken and windows
broken.
A painful feature of the tragedy was
the delay in securing medical aid for
the injured, over an hour eiapsing be-
lore an ambulance arrived.
M. Stolypin's one thought was for his
daughter and he kept exclaiming. For
Gods sake, fetch a doctor, Oh, my
poor grit"
1t was fully half an hour before a
beginning was made systematically to
clear the wreckage, during which the
injured suffered agonies. AT dusk
torches were lighted and by the fitful
light from these the work was COM
tinued and the walls were braced UP
with strong beams.
Many trees in the avenue were
blown down by the force of the explo-
sion. and the aspect of the house and
grounds was one Of complete desola-
ton. Parts of human bodies were
thrown a great distance. An officer

WARNING HAD BEEN SENT.
Several Persons Knew the Premier
Was TO Be Attacked.

London, Aug 27.-Dispatehes from
St. Petersburg this morning furnish
further details concerning the attempt
on the life of the Russian premier. NJ
Stolypin. 1t is stated that the man
who threw or dropped the bomb was
named Morosoff, and that he was a
native of Ryazan province. Among the
killed were nearly all the agents OF the
secret police in the house, including
four women detectives. Several per-
sons were warned beforehand that an
attempt on the life of the premier
would be made. Nine. Davidoff, wife
of the court chamberlain, WHO was
killed, says that her husband received
a postcard Friday saying:
DO not go where you intend going. -
Another official named Piesensky re
ceived a similar warning. He feigned
Illness and thus escaped
Some of the accounts suggest that the
explosion was premature and that
the escape of the premier was
due to the fact that the assassins were
partly Intoxicated
All the newspapers comment upon
the apparent indifference of the Rus
sian public now with regard to such
Outrages saying that this is either be-
cause their frequency engenders cal
lousness or because Of sympathy with
the revolutionists.
Heroism of NJ. StoIypin.
An interesting story is told of NJ
Stolypin. When he was governor of
Saratov the superintendent of police
there was being attacked by a mob for
carrying out orders that aroused their
resentment. Stolypin, seeing what was
happening, rushed up between the su-
perintendent and the angry crowd, ex-
claiming:
IF you want TO kill the responsible
official II is ]. The superintendent is
but doing his duty by executing my or
ders. he had no choice but to carry
them out. 1t was / alone who issued
them, and here 1 am"
The crowd, surprised az Stolypin's
courage, silently skunk away.
The Daily Telegraphs st. Petersburg
commenting ont the out
rage, says:
mo political reforms can heal the
present moral gangrene which is eat
ing away the soul OF the nation. Po-
litical motives play hardly any part in
the epidemic of loathsone crimes. The
ideas of right and wrong are wholly
perverted. Bestiality and humanity
are now struggling for the upper hand,
and the chances are on the side of bes-
TALLY. If the Constitutional Demo-
Gratis were in power tomorrow the cpl
demic OF crime would continue, for the
struggle Is not between this party or
that, but between rascaldom and men
OF law and order"

COULDN'T keep HIS SECRET
GAINESVILLE, Wis, Man Advertised for
Wife-Told His Friends and
Lost the Girl.

GAINESVILLE. Wis, Aug. 26.-Robert
Miller, aged 81 years, an employe of
trust at Howe Brothers cotton mills
here. inserted the following advertise
ment a week ago in a GAINESVILLE paper:
"Wanted-A wife. one who will ap-
preciate good husband, by man who
is capable of supporting her. Address
Robert Miller. GAINESVILLE, Wis"
Today the answer arrived in the per-
son of Miss Elisa Kent Of Fort Atkin-
son, who wrote Miller three days ago
that the proposition looked good to her
and that he could expect her on the
noon train. Miss Kent sent her picture
and to make Identification more posi-
tive said that she would wear two large
red roses in the front of her hat
Miller was so elated over the good
news that he failed TO keep the affair
a secret and just before going to the
train Informed a score of his friends
who at once accompanied him to the
depot.
Crowd Greets Bride to Be.

by the time the depot was reached the
platform was filled with a curious boot

Miss Kent was the second passenger to
alight and just as soon as the crowd

they made a dash for her before Miller
realized the situation.
Miss Kent was so frightened that she
started on a run through the depot and
down the main business street with the
crowd and several camera fiends in,
close pursuit.
Miller by this time had gained
strong lead and was the first to reach
the frightened girl, who halted after
running two blocks. He tried hard to
explain the situation and even pro-
duced her letters, but such reception
was too much for her and she even re-
fused to listen to his pleadings.
Gives Piece Of Her Mind.
She gave. Miller to understand that
she cared for no such a man and was
not out after that kind of hotoriety. By
this time the curious crowd took pity on
the girl and after she had left Miller
standing on the corner she made her
way to the home of friend and took
her departure back to Fort Atkinson
