Mob Slabs and
Beats Assassin

Bologna, Oct.3 1.-[Pl-An IS year
old youth who today attempted to
shoot Benito Mussolini was himself
stabbed and beaten to death by an
iniuriated mob.
Mussolini escaped injury. The as
sassin's bullet missed passing
through the premier's chest by the
fraction of an inch. 1t actually rip
ped both sides of his coat and cut the
sash of the Order of st. Maurice and
st. Lazarus.
The youth had pressed forward as
MusSolini was seated in his auto
mobile, on leaving the stadium,
where he had attended the Congress
for the Advancement of Science, and
was ready to fire a second shot.
GARDENERS and Fascists threw
themselves upon hnD as he was in
the act of sending a second bullet at
the premier.
Within minute or two of his at
tack on the duce, the body of the
youthful assailant was being dragged
along, a crumpled and inert mass, by
strong-armed F'ascists through a
screaming, milling sea of humanity
to his death.
Later at the police station, where
the body was taken IA knife wounds
on his throat.
1t would be impossible to create
more dramatic setting. 1t was about
$40 o'clock and the $4,000 people who
had assembled at the stadium stood
behind lines of carabineers as Mus
solini passed.
The premiers car had entered the
main thoroughfare, the Via Indepen-
denzia, when a shot. cracked above
the roar of the cheering.
\ dead silence; then all eyes were
focused on the youth who stood
bending forward with the revolver in
his hand. The next thought was for
Mussoltni, and when the crowd saw
the duce. calm and obviously unhurt,
they closed like the jaws of gigant-
ic animal upon his assailant. Savage
hands reached for him and he was
pounded and beaten and stabbed I'M
til life was extinct.
Great crowds blocked the path of
the premiers automobile in an at
tempt to approach close enough to
find whether he was hurt. When a
passageway was finally cleared. the
automobile proceeded rapidly to the
station. There Mussolini showed not
the slightest sign OF nervousness.
Immediately after the attempt Sig
nor Turati, secretary general of the
Fascist party, issued a proclamation
to the Black Shirts, saying The first
gesture of justice has been accom-
plished. Now the accomplices must
be punished"
All along the way to the station

reviewing his people and all along
the way he was the object of fdelir-
ious acclamations by the throngs.

Mussolini departed for Forli and
reached his home town shortly after

King Victor Emmanuel sent a mes

saying he had learned with indigna-

congratulations in his
own name and that of the entire
royal family on the premier's escape
from an odious attack.

Capital Grange Has
Halloween Social
At Grand Army Hall

Saturday evening G. A. r. hall was
the scene of some weird ceremonies,
when the members of Capital
Grange with their families and invit-
ed guests assembled for an annual
sociable. Unfortunately it conceded
with the ancient witches festival and
ghouls from the bowels of the earth
and uncanny residents of old DESERT
ed buildings had sized up the meet
ing place and were in full possession
when the guests arrived, apparently
having come in directly through the
stout brick walls of the building, al
though a partially opened window
may have admitted some of them.
These soulless, unmerciful ones
would seize upon those coming into
the hall and compelt hem to undergo
unnamable horrors; and occasionally
soul-piercing scream would give
evidence that some tragedy like that
described in the poem Little O.
rphant Annie was being Enacted.
Ugh! Finally two young men. Ed
mund Dow, with violin. and Erwin
Lander at the piano. struck up Lady
of the Lake" and rescued the COM
pany from their direful situation.
The evil spirits vanished and Joy
and cheerfulness held the floor for
the rest of the evening. Several
other dances were enjoyed and
stunts were put on that gave the en-
tire evening a great charm of So
ciability. Finally lunch, consisting
of coffee, doughnuts, cheese and APP
apples was served to about one hum
dred who were present. Much credit
is due to Miss Winnifred Clark and
her assistants for their efficient
management of the affair.

Gent tutelaSe of Director Charley
Gaa of the Henry Miller Co, New
York, who is staging the show for
the local lodge.
It is the aim of Director Gaa to
Surpass this season all previous Elks
Shows. Those knowing the caliber of
the performances in previous years,
feel that Charley has set some goal
for himself. but the "pepy" director
bids fair to exceed his own expecta-
tons. With a selection of the latest
song hits, jazzy minstrel music,
jokes that make Gene Tunney's wal
lop seem like a passing summer
zephyr, a surprise opening act and a
myriad of novelties, this seasons
Elks Frolic certainly will outdistance
them all.
One of the big features this season
is the group of local young ladies who
will appear in the production.

The Committee promises novel
attraction and one which is unique
in that no show of this nature has
ever been presented in this section
of the state. Much enthusiasm has
been shown and director Edgecomb
states that on one or two of his num-
bers that the scouts from the Keith

las and Princess Ileana with a re-
ception as rousing as any since the
party's arrival in New York.

enabled both cities to entertain roy
atty simultaneously.
While Queen Marie was being re.
ceived by the Twin Cities commit
tees and the Minnesota governor in
st. Paul, Prince Nicolas and Princess
Ileana were making an informal
round of visits in Minneapolis.
Rainy weather failed to prevent
Ileana from playing tennis while her
brother made an inspection of -four
mills
After the formal reception at the
station Marie stopped long enough to
speak over the radio from station
WCCO to invite North Dakota farm
ers and their wives to meet her as
her train passes through that state
tomorrow.
She said she wanted to know the
problems of Dakota farmers and
their means of meeting them, SO that
her own countrymen might profit by
their expenditures. She invited two
farmers and their wives to ride with
her between stops in Dakota tomor-
row and to tell her of the states ag-
rioulture.
A soldier band and a battalion of
troops escorted Marie to the state
capital where Governor Theodore
Christianson and other officials
greeted her.

North Dakota Indians will feature

Surprise Act at
Opera House Pleases
Saturday Crowds

The Augusta movie fans who at
tended the Saturday night perform
ance at the Augusta Opera House
were treated to a surprise act
which created much favorable COM
ment.
Just before the presentation of
the feature act the stage was cleared,
the orchestra struck up an air and
a skeleton danced ghostly Jig
amidst ghostly settings.
An owl, perched on a stump, stay
ed there bravely despite the fact that
the gentleman that always finds some
work for idle hands to do, came up
out of the stump and looked on the
proceedings with an evil eye.
Satan had no sooner made his
departure when witch glided
through the air across the stage and
went back, to the great amusement
of the younger people in attendance.
The whole act was well arranged
and in view of the fact that 1t was
unadvertised, much credit must go
to the management for their efforts
to make service the watchword of
the theatre
