The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1907-08-16

BERLIN, Aug. IA wild rumor
was afloat several hours today to the
effect that the kaiser had narrowly
escaped being assassinated. He was
riding along the Boulevarde de
Frankfeurter when a man dressed in
woman's clothes stepped out from be-
hind mulberry bush and, hailing
the emperor, started to present him
with a boquet of roses. When with
in three feet of the Kaiser, he threw
the roses at him and a terrific explo-
sion resulted. A bomb had been hid
den in the boquet and although it
exploded with great force the kaiser
escaped without injury. A hole in
the highway fifty feet deep demon
strated the great force of the dyna-
mite. A guard shot the assassin in
mis- tracks and he was dropped into
the hole, where his remains were
buried-a warning to the socialists
who would take such extreme meas
ures.
