Wild Anarchist
Killed in Chicago.

Chicago. March 2.-Chief of Police
George n. ShippE-, attacked in his
honlc, 81 Lincoln Place early today, b%
LaSaruS AVeibuch, Russian student
shot ana killed the latter, but not
until lis assailant had stabbed him
in the arm and had shot and seriously
wounded Harry Shippy, son, and had
wounded James Noley a member OF
the police department, detailed a5
d.ivcr for Chief Shippy The younger
Shipry who was believed ut first to
lave been mortally injured by two bull
let wounds in the breast was said,
at n late hour tonight, to have /; good
chance for recovery.
The identity Of the assassin, who was
killed by shot through the head,
was learned late tonight from his
sister Olga, with whom he had liV"G
for three weeks at the home of Mrs.
Harry Pine, in the western portion
of the city. Averbuch has been in
America only three months. having
come from Austria. Through infor-
nation received the sister and fell
low emrloye in a produce commission
house where Averbuch had recently
DttIl tiIll'yNt, tiiI INiiNN '>iS NN'A'
to trace Averbuch's movements and
learn the views he held.
1t was learned that Chief Shippy's
interference several weeks ago with
a parade of unemployed men headed
by Or" Ben l.. Reitman, coupled
with the most recent announcement
that Miss Goldman would not be al
lowed to speak in public in Chicago,
led Averbuch to attempt to Remove
the police head in Russian Terrorist"
fashion.
Averbuch's attempt on Shippy's life
today, followed the fourth effort he
had mace to get at the chief, the last
at o'clock this morning, when Chief
Shippy was on the point of leaving
for his office in the City hall. The
quickness with which the chief acted
doubtless saved his live. Averbuch
though slight in build proved in his
desperation almost match for the
chief who is much larger and the lat
ter found himself unable to hold his
assailant and search him for weapons
at the same time. He therefore called
to his wife who was in the next room,
asking her to ascertain whether the
man had a weapon in his possession.
Mrs Shippy discovered revolver in
Averbuch's hip pocket but before she
could remove it he struggled loose
from the grasp of the chief, and draw
ing a long knife, stabbed Shippy in
the arm. Thereupon Mr.. Shippy
grappled again with his assailant. who
drew n revolver.
At that mefnent Harry Shippy, II
years old, came rushing down the
stairs to his fathers aid.
Averbuch fired two shots. one of
which struck young Shippy, and he
fell seriously wounded by 4 bullet that
pierced his left breast above the
heart. Berofe Averbuch could fire
again, James Foley. the chiefs driver,
attracted by the struggle, ran to the
door and seized Averbuch. The assas-
sin struggled loose from Foley's en-
brace and fired Il shot which pierced
Foicy's hand. Shppy shot Averbuch
through the head and as the Russian
fell dead he and Foley emptied their
rcvolvcrs into the body as it lay at
their feet.

he general result in this city is
without doubt due to the dissatissac-
