PLOT TO KILL HIM
Discovery Of Plot Cause of

SWIMMING IN SNOW
Is Latest Fad Of Russian Society
WOmen-SectiOn of Amur Rail-

in a Few Months
nv GEORGE FRASER

St Petersburg, February 1.-(Spe-
cia1) The chief of the Russian secret
police has secured evidence which is
said to contain convincing proof that
the Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch
was a party to the plots against the
lives Of the czar and czarevitch. That
is now admitted to be the reason
for the recent order placing the czar's 8
brother under supervision" The or
Ger means that if Athe Russian police
can only smuggle Michael to Muscovite
territory he will either be condemned
to death out of hand or buried in the
living tombs of St. Petersburg.
When Admiral Czagin committed sui
eide the police acting on orders, raided
his house. They supposed he had killed
himself because he heard of the plot
on the yacht, and was ashamed to
think he had known nothing OF what
was going on under his own nose. But
here another surprise awaited him. The
hearth In his cabinet was covered with
the charred remains of papers he had
burned before putting a bullet through
his head But the police found bit
OF plotting paper on which were traces
of writing The man held 1t up to a
glass and jumped with joy. 1t showed
him a fragment of letter written to
the Grand Duke Michael Alexandra
witch. Now the climax has come. and
the Grand Duke Michael has to go.
Taking it all in all, the czar is
good example of the truth of the say
ing that Uneasy is the head that wears
a crown" What with this latest phase
of brotherly loyalty and the carrying
on" of the Grand Dukes Cyril and Boris.
the czar has his hands full. The two
latter gentlemen are making most of
the famous continental resorts too
warm for them, and quite recently their
mother had to request them to act with
a little sense of decency at any rate
while. they were stopping In the same
town as herself.
Brave old General Kuropatkin could
have told some nice stories of the
conduct of these brilliant gentlemen
during the Japanese war IL he
had cared to put pen to paper. So out
rageous was their conduct in that
campaign that the general was COM
pelled to appeal direct to the czar.

THE DOGS ARE A GOOD
INVESTMENT.

The Leader believes that the pur-
chase of these dogs was a good in
vestment by the County Solons.
We are certain it was a wise pur-
chase which will pay many times
the price if these dogs are kept in
proper condition for work. They
did not succeed in their Jefferson
county quest second all night
run for the dogs, which was proba-
bly, too much for them. Dogs, like
human beings, need a required
amount Of rest and recuperation.
Not only will these animals be Of
the greatest assistance in quickly
capturing criminals. If they are
kept in training, but will be one Of
the greatest deterrents to crime 10
the county when 1t is known that
they can follow a mans trail un-
erringly.
Ths Leader does not want to ap-
pear disinterested in its attitude
toward other counties; but it does
not believe it is good policy to per-
NIT these animals with their neces-
sary official attendants to leave

and exceptional cases. Good man.
