Prosecuting Attorney Has Murderer
Re.Arrested on Direct informa alton
For Killing Mining Man.

Boulder, Colo, April 13.-Henry
Burd, who shot and killed George s
Dubois, the we'll known Colorado and
New Mexico mining man at Ballarat
la week ago, was released from custo
|dy by Justice Brown at his prelimin
larry hearing here, the justice stating
that the evidence did not justify bind
ing him over to the district court. Di
rect informations were filed by the
district attorney in the district court
land Burd was rearrested and will be
kept locked up until the next term ol
court
Several witnesses were examined
including Burd, who testified in his
own behalf. The county physician DR.
Trovillion, testified that Burd's shot
must have killed Dubois instantly, and
that it would have been impossible fol
the murdered man to have fired af
ter being hit. Several witnesses were
put on the stand who testified that the
angle of the bullets was on line
from the floor, where the murdered
man lay, through the roof of an ad
joining room, thus showing that two
bullets were fired by Dubois before
Burd fired the last shot.

POLISH GOVERNOR
VICTIM OF ASSASSIN
While Giving an Audience to DeIcga.
ton Of Students Unfortunate OFF,
cial is Shot to Death.

Lemberg, April 13.-Count Andreas
Potocki, governor of the Austro-PO'
lish province of Galicia, was assassi.
mated yesterday afternoon by Ru-
thenian student, Mieroslap Sjozynski,
by name, while giving an audience to
Il delegation of students. The assas-
sin fired three shots from a revolver,
all of which took effect. The COVER
nor died soon afterward, but asked
his secretary to inform his majesty at
once. Tell him., said the dying man
II was his most faithful servant" The
assassin did not resist arrest. When
led through the governors antecham-
Der he said to the Ruthenian peasants
who were waiting for an audience, Il
have done this for YOU" The assas-
sins brother, who had been informed
of the plan to murder the governor,
committed suicide a short time before
the assassination.
The Potocki family is among the
most prominent aristocrats of Polish
blood. Upon learning of the tragedy
the emperor sent message of SYM
pathy.
Many Ruthenians have been ar
rested, but none as yet have been i'm
plicated in the assassination. The
murderer declares that he thought 1t
his duty to revenge the Poles oppres-
sion by Potocki's government.
