Father joseph Lubeley. aged SO

Father Joseph Lubeley, aged SO
years, pastor of ST. Joseph's Catho-
lie Church of Salisbury, was stabbed
twice with q pocket knife and per-
haps fatally injured in church this
morning by Joseph Schuette, a pros
porous farmer. The stabbing &C.
Cured in view of 400 worshippers,
many of them women. The injured
priest was taken to a nearby resi-
dence, where his wounds were at
tended to by physicians. His con-
dition is critical.
1t is believed Schuette, who has
been a devout member of St. Jo-
seph's Church, became suddenly de-
ranged and the attempt on Father
Lubeley's life resulted.
Another version of the attempted
assassination is that Father Lubeley
had publicly reprimanded Schuette
for attacking a member of the con-
gregation last Saturday.
