tribe TO KILL
THREE PEOPLE
Chicago Chief Of Police Attacked
by an Anarchist.
ASSAILANT HIMSELF WAS SLAIN
belieYed That Attack on Official Was Part
OF Extensive COuspiraey-SOn of the
Chief Badly Wounded, Bat Has Chsuee TO
Recover.

Chicago, March 2.-Chief of Police
George M. Shippy, his son, Harry, and
his driver, James Foley, were wounded
by an anarchist who attempted to as
sassinate the police official in the hall of
the latter's residence, 81 Lincoln Court.
shortly after O'Clock this morning.
The desperate struggle, in which Mrs.
Shippy and her daughter, Georgietta.
joined, was terminated when the chief
drew his own revolver, and killed his
assailant.
Attempts to identify the dead man
have thus far resulted in failure.
BELIEVED TO BE A CONSPIRACY.
The attack is believed to have been
the result of conspiracy to harm Off
cials who have been active in suppress-
ing manifestations of anarchy in this
community. Other city officials are said
TO have been threatened, and a police
spy who recognized the corpse of the
man who invaded Shippy's home as that
OF a person who regularly attended an
archlst meetings, asserted that the man
was chosen to do away with not onlv the
Chief of Police, but Mayor M. E. Busse
as well. The ramifcations of the plot
are said to extend to other cities and to
be closely connected with the killing of
Rev. Leo Heinrichie, a Roman Catholist
priest, who was shot down at the altar
of his church in Denver.
Harry Shippy was the most severely
hurt of those injured in today's affray.
Although the bullet from the assassin's
revolver passed completely through his
body just above the heart, it is said to-
night that his chances for recovery were
favorable. His father was stabbed in
the arm, while Foley received bullet
In the wrist. Mrs. Shippy was kicked
by the desperate, but her hurts are
slight.
Following the attack, squads of police
were sent into the Italian and Ghetto
quarters of that city, Places known as
headquarters of secret societies sus-
pected of anarchistic tendencies were
raided and score or more arrests were
made.

Won 6oeben Commits Suicide.

Berlin, March "A dispatch from
Allestine, East Prussia, says that Capt.
Won Goeben. who killed Major Won
Schoenbeck, a fellow officer on Christ
mas night and has been awaiting court
martial, has committed suicide by OPEN
ing an artery in his neck.
A few days after Christmas CAPTAIN
Won Goeben was arrested relative to
the death of Major Won Schoenbeck.
whose body had been found lying at the
foot of the stairs leading from his
wife's room with fully loaded revolver
beside it. Won Goeben finally confessed
to killing his brother officer and subse-
quently declared that he was glad he
did so, because he had only removed a
man who had made his wife's life a
misery by continued i'll treatment.
1t appears that on Christmas day
Captain Won Goeben dined with Major
Won Schoenbeck and his wife in their
home. After saying good night the
captain pretended to leave the house.
He slammed the front door, though he
did not go out. Schoenbeck was arous-
ed by noise and going do@n stairs
with loaded revolver in his hand en-
countered a man who shot him dead.
This man proved to be Won Goeben.
Dispatches from Allestine early in
January said that Mrs. Won Schoenbeck,
who was arrested as an accessory to the
the murder, had. gone insane.

UNDER FEDERAL LAW
United States Court Has IurIsdsotIou
Over Murder Committed In
Postofices.

washington, March 2. Affirming the
decision of the United States Circuit
for the Southern District of Georgia in
the case of Thomas Battle, found guilty
OF murder, but without capital punish
ment, the Supreme Court of the United
States today held that the Federal stat
ute giving jurisdiction to the United
States court in cases of murder in arse
nails, dock yards, etc, also applies to
that crime when committed in postof-
fees.
The law does not specifically mention
postofhces or postoffice grounds, and
the contention was made that the Fed
eral court was without jurisdiction to
try Battle for killing another man in
the postoffice at Macon, Ga.

KILLED the KILLER OF
NOTORIOUS BILLY the KID.
Famous 6un-Fighter Of the Frontier Days
Shot Down by Young Ranchman In
Dispute Over a Goat Pasture.

I'll Paso, Texas, Feb. 29.-Patrick F.

notorious outlaw and gunman, "Billy
the Kid" was today shot and killed by
J. Wane Brazle, a youthful ranchman.

shotgun. Brazle fired twice, both shots
taking effect, and Garrett fell dead.

cattle. Garrett demonstrated with his
lessee and declared that a goat pastur-
ing was in violation of the contract be-
tween them.

when the outlaw stepped into the place
with his gun drawn, Garrett proved to
be the quicker on the trigger.
