ASSAILANT CAUGHT
AND BADLY HANDLED
The Attempted Assassination
Has Stirredup a Great Fire
Of Race Prejudice Which
It is Feared VIII Have
Terrible Results.

Paris, June IA would.be assassin,
standing within three feet 81 President
Fallieres Of France today, fred two
shots into Col Alfred Drcyfus the world
famous military martyr was painfully
but not fatally wounded. The more se-
rious result Of the shooting, however,
lies in the fact that the ever shoulder
ing Jewish question has again burst in
TO fame and trouble threatens to
spread over all France
The attempt To kill Dreyfns was
made near the close Of the ceremony at
tending the transfer Of the body Of
Emile Zoa from Montmartre cemetery
to the Pantheon. The shots were fred
by M. Gregori, military editor Of la
Gaulois, who, quitting a crowd at the
press table, WHIPPED ont revolver and,
stepping close to Dreyfus side, fired
twice. point blank, crying Here's for
the parade
Both balls took effect In Dreyfus'
right arm. Gregori darted through the
crowd but was quickly captured. Drey-
fus displayed the greatest composure.
He begged those about him not to be-
alarmed and walked unassisted, to The
automobile and hurried home. Many
arrests were made in the disorderly
crowd preceding the ceremony.
In the melee following Gregori's at-
tempt to escape he received slight
sabre cut at the hands Of one Of the
gendarmes and when an officer attempt
"a to lead him away he WIS pounccd
upon and badly beaten by crowd be-
fore the gendarmes could land him in
the police station.
Since tie FIRST day that ii was propos-
ed to take zola's body to the Pantheon
there has been storm Of protest. AS
the body was brought there last night
the streets were lined with people, half
them shouting "viYa zola'' and the
others "conapuez zola." Gregori was in
close touch with the military party ami
considered the transfer of ZoIa's body
To the Pantheon wrong and had openly
denounced the government for permit
ting it to be done.
When asraigned BY the police Greg
ori said 4 fred not at Dreyfus but at

Aee the noble army Of France mix in
IN AFFAIR of the sort which, at best,
concerned only the government and the
Dreyfus family.

ported this afternoon that the first bull

ELECTION FRAUDS.
DEMOCRATIC OFFICIALS NOT
PERMITTED TO SERvE-IN
ONE PRECINCT RECORDED
VOTE 14s IN EXCESS OF ACT
UAL NUMBER OF VOTERS.

The Williamson Enterprise tells a
story OF election frauds in Mingo
county tha. would call for investi-
CATION IL the beneficiaries OF such
frauds were not In control. AS IL
is the people will have to submit.
An honest election in Mingo would
create as much surprise as a
straight Democratic or straight Re
publican ticket in that county. The
Enterprise Says:
Tuesday proved bad day for
Democrats and Old Liners, SO far as
the state. national and county tick
cts were concerned. as will be seen
from the table attached. "Stung
again" must be the cry OF those
who had expected a square deal ev-
erywhere. 1t is true that in a ma
jority of the election precinc.s of
the county the actual election ma
chinery was conducted fairly, and
only the registration scheme helped
the renegades. In many places,
however. the vote was far short of
the registration. The sore spot
again was Magnolia. where three
precincts were without Democratic
election officers. 1t is reported on
good authority that at both Thack-
er and Lick Fork the election off,
GERS We're organized long before
daylight, and when the Democratic
officers made their appearance, they
were not admitted. At Matewan
the information Is given that 1877
men by actual count entered the
election booth. whale the actual rea
corded vote was 335. 1t is little
wonder then that the majorities
ran up to the large figures indica-
ted above. Still with this there is
some Improvement over 1906, and
there were not many extra men run
In to swell the vote. This was the
beauty of the new registration law;
the importation is no longer neces-
sary. The Old Liners made scarce
ly any showing at all, their best
per centage being at Nangatuck and
Glen Alum. Hurst and Dameron got
hattering votes nearly everywhere,
and evidently held their party vote
