ATTEMPT TO KILL
BRITISH VICEROY
Member of Secret Committee Threw
Bomb At Lord Harding, But He
Was Not Badly Hurt.

DELHI. India, Dec. 23.-sp attempt
was made this morning to assissinate
Lord Harding, the British Vieeroy, of
India. The Viceroy was wounded in
the shoulder by a fragment OF the ex-
ploding bomb, but it was reported at
the hospital, where he was taken,
that he was not dangerously hurt.
Lady Harding, who was riding with
her husband on the back of an ele-
plant was not injured, but a native,
who was walking by the side of the
elephant, was instantly killed.
A man believed to be a member of
the India Nationalist Secret committee
threw the bomb from the top Of a
house as the Viceroy was proceeding
from the Station to his residence on
the State Entry. The mans aim was
bad and the bomb went wide.

MDONALD BARN
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Saturday Evening Blaze Of Green's
burg Entails Loss Of Over $4,000
and No Insurance.

The large bank barn Of Mr.. Har-
yey S. Mcdonald, at Greensburg, six
miles northeast Of this city, was de
stroyed by fire Saturday evening, to
gether with all of its contents except
most of the live stock, entailing q
loss estimated at not less than $4,000,
with only a small insurance.
Besides the barn there were con
sumed two horses, one colt, one hog
and one calf, 400 bushels of wheat,
200 bushels OF corn, rs tons OF hay,
500 bundles of fodder. straw stock,
wagons, farming implements. gears,
harness, etc. Six horses, the cattle
and other live stock were saved. One
of the horses burned to death was
Mr.. Mcdonald fine driving mare, a
several.time prize winner at the Nor
gan Grove fair.
Mr.. Mcdonald discovered the fire
about 7.30 O'Clock when one end of
the barn was already in flames. With
the help of others he succeeded In
rescuing all of the live stock In the
StdbitS tANCpl tub ditllidto hiNltiNA
ed; but by this time the whole barn
was ablaze and nothing could say
it from destruction. The cause Of
the fire is unknown. Mr.. Mcdonald
was in one Of the stables with a lam
tern early in the evening, but the fire
started in the other end OF the barn.
He had no insurance on the barn or
contents but had his horses insured,
so hfs loss is nearly a total one.
Many people Of the neighborhood
gathered al the fire but were power
less to be of any assistance. The
light from the conflagration was plain
ly visible here and people wondered
where the fire was.
False Report.
1t was reported here Sunday that
fire destroyed the residence OF Mr..
Robert Van Metre, in the Naneleyes-
vile -neighborhood, east of this city,
on Saturday night, but happily such
was not the case. 1t is quite likely
that some persons got this supposed
fire confused with the fire at Mr.. Nc
Donald's, as above described.

DIRECT ELECTION
MAY GET SETBACK
Georgia Points Out irregularities In
Method Of Preventing
It..

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Dec. 23.-
The receipt by Congress OF a protest
from the legislature OF Georgia
against the method in which the res
olution for the direct election of Sen.
ators was passed foreshadowed an
other lengthy fight on the question
which may delay the realization of the
reform indefinitely. The legislature
OF Georgia no only reports that il can
not consent to receive or act ON the
on the proposed amendment to the
constitution but it calls on the Sena-
tors and Representatives of the state
to take it up with Congress- and asks
the governor Of other states to lay ii
before their legislatures in the hope
that they will join in the stand taken
by Georgia.
The protest OF Georgia is based on
the ground that the resolution did not
receive a two-thirds vote on both
houses of Congress, but only OF those
present and voting, and therefore
was not proposed to the state in the
amer pointed out by the oCnstitu-
ton.
