MANY VISITED THE BUILDING
Safety Block Is Formally Opened to
the Public.

There was a large crowd in attend
ance at the formal opening of the new
Safety deposit building which occur
red Saturday afternoon and evening.
There were hundreds looking at the
deposit vaults all the time and the
general verdict was that the equip
ment was excellent. A considerable
number of the boxes have been rented
already, and it is thought that all of
them will be taken before long. The
rest of the building attracted consid-
cradle attention also and the tenants
of the different apartments were kept
busy showing visitors around. The
Wrixon orchestra supplied music both
in the afternoon and in the evening.
The opening was very successful in
every sense of the word and the com
pany feels that the building has been
well introduced to the public and that
the first impression was good one

twice by wealthy parishioner as he
stood in the church doorway greeting
his congregation at the c;ose of morn
ing service.
His assailant was Joseph Schuette
a wealthy farmer and close friend ol
the clergyman. No reason has been
assigned for his attempt at assassina
tion, save that he was observed sit.
ting apart from his family in the rear
of the church during the services, ap
parently in "a frenzied condition OF
mind.
Priest Absolves AssaiIant.
"He did not know what he was do
ing" declared the wounded priest
"and hope his sanity is inquired into
before any effort is made to punish
him.
After telling Father Lubeley with
the second blow Schuette attacked Mrs
Barbara Ginter and John Gates, who
had rushed to the aid of the priest
Mrs. Ginter was cut in the hand, while
Gates received two wounds-one in the
hand and another in the elbow.
Father Lubeley' was stabbed in the
right temple and in the right side OF
the neck, the knife just missing the
jugular vein by hairs breadth.
