Details Of the Assassination Of
Abraham Lincoln by
Wilkes Booth.
April ~. 1865, VIII Long Be Remem
bered az One Of the saddest Days
In American HIstory-How
Murderer Of Great Presi-
dent Met His Death.


~ N April IA, 1861, the Union
flag was hauled down al
Fort Sumter, and the wal
became fact. On April IA
1865, the man who had been the
head of the Union during the struggle
was shot by an assassin. The world
today realizes the tragedy OF his as
sassination, but not so well the shock
II caused at the timc. The shock was
tho greater because 1t came without
warning.
On the afternoon of April IA, 1865.
President Lincoln, accompanied by his
wife, went for long drive. AS recre-
alton he had planned that night to see
the famous actress. Laura Keene, IN
"Our American Cousin" which was be-
Ing played in what was then Ford's
theater on Tenth street northwest, be-
tween e and F streets.
General Grants Narrow Escape.
General Grant was to have been
one of the theater party, and the fact
that he was Unexpectedly called away
probably saved his life, as there is
no doubt that his murder was also
contemplated.
The presidents box had been draped
with two flags, a silk one borrowed
from the treasury department being
placed in the center. II was In this
that Booths spur caught when he
leaped from the box after shooting
Lincoln. Within the box was placed
a rocking chair for the use of the
president. At $3.50 Mr.. Lincoln, Major
Rathbone and Miss Harris entered the
box to witness a play of which they
we're destined never to see the end.
AS the president sat quietly in his
box for an hour and half, John
Wilkes Booth, the assassin, was how
ering near. waiting for favorable
opportunity to fire the fatal shot.
Booth was q handsome, gay, romantic
young actor of the famous family of
actors. Edwin Booth was his brother
and Junius Brutus Booth his father.
Ardent Southern sympathizer.
Young Wilkes Booth-he was COM
monty called by his middle name
was an ardent Southern sympathizer,
and his frequent visits to Washington
brought him in contact with people
of similar sentiments, and gave him
the opportunity to put into effect the
plan which he imagined would be that
of patriot.
For some months he had been liv-
ing in Washington, where he had dis
cussed plans with band of conspira-
tors. These plans at first looked to
the capture Of the president by TAX
ing him bodily. concealing him in one

N w. Bogstad. who has contributed
an article to Z magazine OF Chris

Norway are among the best-paid work

branches OF labor. such as the wood
pulp industry and paper industry. Put

The Bergen fire, mentioned last
week. proved even worse than at first

5000 persons were rendered homeless.
and some of the estimates place the
property loss as high as $30.000,000 in
stead Of $4,000, 900. as stated last
week. The fire Is the worst in the
history Of Norway. and one of the
worst experienced In all Scandinavia

that practically the entire city was

that it was impossible to check the

A New York dispatch says that
Norway has been granted $5,000.0O0

is claimed, ranks with the foremost
