The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1907-11-02

The street in which Mr.. Zens had had
apartments was a third Of mile long,
and the house in which he had lived was
the fourth from the eastern end. A mere
minute before Dobroski was carried out
by careful doctor and sorrowing friend
lounger turned the corner far away. He
saw something like coffin carried from
a house at the other end of the lengthy
street, and saw one or two idle people
stop to look on. He quickened his pace;
peering keenly beneath the hand win
which he Swallowed his eyes. Then, IN
a sudden, he broke into headlong rum
and while Mr.. Zeno was posturing over
his poor dear friend the attention OF one
half the little crowd was drawn to this
advancing figure. The man ran, though
unpursued, as IL he ran for life, and at
the moment when the doctor leaped into
his place and gave the word to the coach
man, the newcomer seized the horses by
the reins and painted, stop" Zeno
looked up and saw O'Rourke.
STAND clear !" cried Zeno, in a sudden
frenzy. Then, to the coachman, Drive
Cut him down and drive!"
stop this man ~ cried O'Rourke, APP
pealing to the crowd.
Zeno snatched the whip from the
coachman's hand and slashed at O'Rourke
and the horses again and again. There
was a prodigious rearing, and then all at
once O'Rourke was down, and the brake
was away full speed.
The Vienna correspondent of the Comet
writes as follows:
What may be fifty described as an
entr'acte in the romantic Dobroski drama,
which is absorbing the attention OF the
whole world of Vienna at this moment,
took place to-day. The wedding Of his
gallant deliyerer, Mr.. Hector O'Rourke,
NJ. p, with the charming American mill
ionairess, was attended by the whole
beau-monde, and places were struggled
for as If the high contracting parties had
been emperor and empress, instead OF
plain Irish gentleman and American lady.
| The real attraction was the presence OF
Monsieur Dobroski himself, who gave
away the bride.
II had long interview with the bride
groom yesterday. He has recovered from
his injuries, and the fears of internal
damage have disappeared. He made one
statement which appears to me to deserve
| to be chronicled as a psychological curl
osity. He declares that In the first dawn
Of recovery after six-and-thirty hours Of
Inconsistencies, his effort to recall the
fAfacts, and his fear lest he should not be
able to make them clear to those who
were about him, retarded the return OF
speech for a whole day. 1t was only by a
prodigious effort of self-control that he
lay in perfect quiet for an hour, and thus
| gained self-possession and tranquility
enough to explain the extraordinary cir
cumstances Of the case.
"Mr. O'Rourke, who has had several
interviews with the Russian ambassador
since his visit here, Is fully persuaded OF
the truth Of the energetic protestations
his excellency has made as to the inno-
cence Of the Russian government from
completely In this remarkable affair. He
regards the abduction of his friend Mon
sieur Dobroski as the fruit Of private
vendetta.
"Mr. O'Rourke will return to Vienna
in time to attend the final examination
of the prisoner. 1t Is to be regretted thai
the handspring Of the villainous affair
the treacherous Pole, Wroblewskoff
should have succeeded in making good hi
escape. The mere fact of the Polish
origin Of the criminals Is In itself re
garded here as sufficient proof Of the
innocence Of the Russian government. -
