Victim OF RainierAssault Denies He
Watched Saloon Men.
HARRISON ALLEN AT RAINIER
District Attorney viii Probably Have
Another Grand Jury Drawn-Feel-
ing at Rainier Runs High
Against Saloons.

STHELENS, Or, May 2l,-Tom vii.
liams, who was assaulted at Rainier,
Sunday morning was in St. Helens to-
day 20 consult with tn District Attor-
ney in regard TO the affair. Williams
says there was no ground whatever for
the attack upon him, as he was not
spying or interfering with the saloon
men in any way whatever. The only
reason he can think of for the attack
was that he was one of the party that
went to Kelso to assist in the arrest of
the "Cockney Kid" Lack the assailant
is u man weighing about 1870 pounds
and about five feet ten inches in height.
Williams stood no show whatever in
a physical contest with him.
At the ime of the attack Williams
says he was walking along on the oppo-
site side Of the street from Lacy, Joe
Brough and waitress at Lees Hotel.
named Nell Laxton. Williams had Just
returned from visit to Rev. Mr.. Kemp
and Lacy, before he struck him, asked:
Tom, what did you go after Kemp
for?' Williams answered:
at is none of your business" ="
Lacy instantly attacked him throwing
him to the walk and beating him Sc
verely.
Williams left eye is in deep mourn
ing and his head is quite severely
bruised. Rev Mr., Kemp accompanied
Williams to the county seat, District
Attorney Allen is supposed to be at
Rainier, The grand jury has been dis
missed for the term and it is not likely
that another will be drawn, but the
district attorney can present the mat
ter to the court.
The matter has intensified the feeling
against the Rainier gang, and especially
against Brough, who is at present under
indictment for the Fischer assault, and
il at liberty under $1,000 bonds.
Those indicted for the Fischer assault
will be arraigned tomorrow, but it is
probable that the case will not be tried
until next week.

Consul Stuart, who was assassinated to-
day. was returning from the house of a
friend where he dined when killed. He
was fired on twice from clump of
bushes half mile from his home, one
bullet piercing his leg and another his
breast. Mr., Stearn, the British Vice
Consul at Novo Rossisk, who was a
guest at Stuart's house, hearing the
shooting hurried out with the servants
and found Stuart lying on the ground
bleeding from his wounds. He was still
conscious, but said he would not be able
to recognize the assassin on account of
the darkness. Stuart was conveyed to
the military barracks where he died two
hours later, Aside from the troubles
during the revolutionary movements

BERKELEY, Cal, May 2l,--An ex.
hibition in the performing of the rites
of the famous pagan fire worship prac
tice by fire walkers of Tahiti this aft
crnoon almost ended in tragedy, Two
OF the hrcwalkers. Priest Apihanius and
his wife attempted to walk with bare
feet across pit of white hot stones
around which were shooting snarling
tongues OF flames. When half way
across their garments caught fire, and
but for the prompt action of the spec
tators, both would have been burned
to death. Both suffered severe burns
about the head and body, but strange
to say their feet showed no evidence of
the walk over the blazing pit.

by the Soldiers.

KALISZ, Russian Poland, May 2l.-
Count Keller, a colonel of Dragons,
was severely wounded by the explosion
of bomb which was thrown at the
officer while he was returning from a
review today. His horse was killed and
his orderly injured. Count Keller has
been prominent in suppressing disturb
ances here and in this vicinity.
The attempt on Count Keller's life
was the second one and was made by a
Jewish revolutionist. Keller, though
receiving more than thirty wounds from
splnters of the bomb, was saved from
instant death by the too good aim of the
assassin, the bomb exploding directly
beneath Keller's horse. Keller may re-
cover. The explosion shattered the
windows of all the adjoining houses and
ruptured the ear drums of Keller's aide.
The bomb thrower attempted to escape,
but became entangled in hedge and
was arrested by the soldiers, who were
forced to use their sabres before they
could subdue him. He was severely
wounded.
