RHEINBOT BOMB FAKE?
RumOr That Mosco7o Project Vas
iSckeming to RetrieUe Fortune.

Moscow, Nov. 13.-General Rheinbot has re-
ceved hundreds Of messages. including a per-
sonal communication from Emperor Nicholas.
| through Premier stolypin. and dispatch from
Count Witte. congratuating him upon his es-
cape from the bomb thrown at him on Monday.
In spite of these congratulations, which give
color to the official version of the attempt on
the projects life, there are rumors in Moscow
that General Rheinbot was himself the author
of the plot against his own life. He is thought
to have schemed to retrieve his sinking fortunes
and to stave off retirement 1T having been de-
cided upon in official circles to relieve him from
duty.
These rurnors are supported by certain cir
cumstantiai evidence. General Rhenbot at the
tmo the attempt on his life was made was fol
lowing an unusual path on foot through narrovy
alleys. The bomb exploded in a manner de-
scrlbed as highly suspicious.

EVER SEE A GROUND HOG?
A Man Who Had Two ON His Hands a
the Same Time Talks.

1t is quite within the range Of pos
sibility that a good many people i'm
agine that a ground hog is a myth,
that there is really no such animal,
the name being used to carry out the
joke about the weather. Of coarse
there is such ar animal; there are
many of them: they are in fact very
prolific, but under ordinary conditions
they are the LATEST thing on earth
too lazy, in fact, to get UP to eat, un-
less very hungry.
A man here recently from the west
ern part CT the state talked inter-
estingly of these little fellows. He
had two at one time, bat became SO
disguised with them that he gave
them away, one at a time. however,
for he was afraid, he said, to palm
both off on one person. A minute de-
scription is hard to give: he says
they are a cross between a mole. a
muskrat, a 'possum and several other
species, but in habits are unlike any
Of them, except as to getting in the
ground in a hurry like a mole. No
ground is too hard for them and when
pursued they strike right out by bur-
rowing like an auger and only a mo-
ment is required to get out of sight.
They are easily tanned when captured
young and make great pets. but he
says he has never bee able to see
what they were made for. for he was
unable to find anything they would
do except a n sleep, preferring
the latter every time unless very hun
CRY.
As to their ability to judge of the
weather he says he takes no stock in
it for the reason that they are too
everlastingly lazy. though he admits
they might dream about it. judging
from the number of hours they sleep.

which both young men were hit and
Baker will in all probability die from.
the effects of his wound.
Both parties are white men we'll
known in this community. and the
trouble seems to have grown out of,
the act that Mr.. Baker had spoken
unexpectedly of Mr.. Clements sis
ter.
There are several conflicting stories
about the cause of the shooting and t
is hard to get the rea particulars of
the affair. II this instance it seems
that there We're no eye witnesses. Some
say Clements shot and some say Baker
shot first.
Pink Clements the father of the
young man who shot Baker is said
to have gone to the transfer Saturday
night t see Baker but Baker kept
ont of his way. Last night Jesse went
and tried to see him and Baker order
ed him away several times saying he
was on duty and did not wish to have
a fuss, but Clements refused to leave
and he n Baker got into a quarrel
which was soon followed by the shoot
ing.

to live. Clements received a bullet in
the back Of his thigh but is not serl-
ously injured.
DR.. Gregg vas sent for as soon as
possible and when he arrived he had
Baker removed to the Coast Line hos
pital on Front street and he called in
DR.. William Ilderton and they sayed
with the wounded man all night trying
to get him in a condition for an ope-
ration to be performed to get the bullet
which is lodged in the backbone CT
the f1eshy part of the back.
Chief Hoopman was phoned for ard
he arrested Clements at the home OF
his sister in the city. After his wound
was dressed by DR.. Hicks he was put
into custody.
DR.. Gregg states that Bakers cen
dition is critical this morning and he
is liable to die at any time. He is so
weak he cannot stand the operation OF
extracting the bullet.
Clements is a young man about 19
years old and has been working in the
back yard Of the Coast Line shops here

state of mind. Business had
