WIVE OF ANARCHISM

Attempt to Assassinate George M. Shippy, Chief of Police j of Chicago. ASSASSIN AT FIRST UNKNOWN Proves to Be One Averbuch, Russian and Anarchist GALLS ON THE CHIEF AT HIS HOME He Wounds Shippy, Shoot* the Chiefs Son Harry Through the Lung, and Is Shot to Death iu His Tracks. George M. Shippy, chief of police of Chicago, narrowly escaped death Monday at the bauds of an assassin at his home, 31 Lincoln court. The other facts of the sensational attack are that the wouldbe assassin is dead; Shippy’s son Harry, aged nineteen. Is probably fatally wounded In the lung; Shippy himself has a knife wound, not serious, in the side, and His driver, James Foley, is shot in the right wrist. Chief Shippy Was Suspicious. Chief Shippy had called for his buggy, and his driver, Foley, was seated in the rig, when the wouldbe assassin who looked like a Sicilian or a Jew, rang the doorbell. The chief himself answered the summons and confronted the man. The stranger thrust au envelope into Shippy’s hand and said; “Here is a note I bring you.” The chief, whose suspicions had beeu aroused, grasped both of the man's hands, and calling to his wife told her to search him. As Mrs. Shippy ran forward the man wriggled away, but her hand closed over a revolver In his overcoat pocket. “He's got one!” she screamed. “Look out. George, for your life!”. Shippy, who had drawn his revolver, pointed It at the man, who knocked Mrs. Shippy aside and drew his weapon. He raised It to fire at her in his rage and the chief shot him in the arm as Mrs. Shippy dodged behind some tapestry. Help Comes to the Chief. Foley had heard the shots and came running up the steps; as did Georgia, the chief’s daughter, who had Just left the house The two jumped into the group of struggling fighters while Har ry Shippy, the chief’s son, came run nlng downstairs from his bedrooom, with a revolver. In the meantime, the assassin had drawn a knife and stabbed the chief in the side. He then turned and shot Foley In the wrist, and seeing Harry Shippy coming downstairs he fired at him putting a bullet through his lung. Chief Shippy and Foley, enraged as they saw the boy fall down the stairs, fired seven shots into the wouldbe as sassln, who fell dead at their feet. Mrs. Shippy immediately notified the police of the North Halsted street station Lieutenant Danner and a wagonload of officers, besides a number of neighboring physicians, hurried to the residence, and the wounded men were taken to the Augustana hospital. A smash in Is Identified. As soon as the police chief could pull himself together he ordered the police to raid all the anarchist clubhouses in the city, and round up all the known anarchists. After working all day Lieutenant Alcock with two detec fives took Olga Averbuch when she returned from a south side dressmaking establishment, where she was employed. Without loss of time she was taken to Bentley's undertaking rooms, where the body of the wouldbe assassin lay. They reached the place just as a phrenologist was completing his invea tigation and description of Averbuch’s head and hand. The young woman ap proached the body with two detectives BUjxporting her. She took one look at the corpse and became hysterical “Oh, mama, mama, it is Harry!” she sobbed, throwing herself on her brother’s form and kissing his lips again and again. She remained thus for several minutes until pulled back by the offi cers. She attempted to cling to her brother’s form and her screams of protest at being removed could be heard by pedestrians on the street. The young woman was then taken to the office of Assistant Chief of Police Schuettler. Dead Man Hated Police. According to Miss Averbuch her brother was a bookkeeper, having learned it at a university In her native land. When the interview with Schuettler was over Miss Averbneh was taken to the women’s annex of the Harrison street police station, where she will be constantly under the eye of two policemen especially detailed for that purpose. Her brother’s uame is Lazarus Averbuch, and the family Is from Russia. As soon as he was identified abundant evidence was forthcoming as to bls anarchistic sentiments and his hatred of the police; especially of Chief Shippy. Harry Shippy, who was shot so badly, is doing well at the hospital, and the prospect of his recovery Is very favorable. That Averbuch in attempting to kill Chief of Police Shippy. carried out a entrusted to him by a group of Chicago anarchists is de dared by Assistant Chief of Police Schuettler to have been proven beyond a doubt. The group of anarchists also platted, according to information in the bands of the authorities, to assassinate Mayor Busse and Captain P. D. O'Brien, of thr detective bureau. The principals In the plot have not yet been discovered. )

"LIAR"; THEN A BLOW

Physical Culture Militant Exemplified in the Court TryL in g Brunaugh. ONE LAWYER "SOAKS" ANOTHER Court Adjourned to Quench the Hotness—“ Dead" Man bur prises His Friends—ltems. Indianapolis. March 4.—Michael A. Ryan, one of the attorneys for Harry P. Brunaugh in the trial of the latter in the criminal court, struck Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Frank P. Baker in the face as the two stood In front of the bench of Judge Pritchard. Bystanders interfered and prevented the affair from going any further, though It was with difficulty Baker was restrained from striking back at Ryan. Immediately following the sensational incident Judge Pritchard adjourned court for acouple of hours to let things cool off. * Ryan Puts in an Objection. The scene was caused by the presentation of a report by the kgrand jury, which, like “the flowers that bloom In the spring tra la, had nothing to do with the [Brunaugh) case,” but which Ryan thought did refer to that case. As Baker started to read the report, the grand jury being present and lined up before the judgs, Ryan elbowed his way through the grand jurors and stood in front of them. "I object to this kind of thing until I know what is in that report,” he said. “I do not propose to have this grand jury come In here now with anything that may have a bearing on this case, and I am making my objection.” Ryan Says He “Knows Things.” Baker stood with the report in bls band. He turned to Ryan and said: "This is nothing that affects this case in any manner. It is merely a report on matters that Ore not connected with it." Rut Ryan wouldn’t have It that way, and told Baker to “stay out of this; I am talking to the court.” He then asserted that the report might have a bearing on the Brunaugh case, but Baker protested that "I wouldn’t do such a thing as that There is nothing wrong in this report” “Oh, no, you wouldn’t do anything,” Ryan said, hotly. “Why, I know of some things you did yesterday afternoon that ” Then the Lie and the Blow. “That Is not true; that is a lie," Baker retorted, as he turned to Ryan. At that Ryan struck Baker squarely on the right, cheek with his open hand. It was a side swipe, and although it did not stagger Baker it produced a red spot on his cheek. Then there was a hurrying to and fro, and the sheriff Interposed, while Baker struggled to get at Ryan. But the peace was no further disturbed. NOT SO DEAD AS SUPPOSED News of a Man’s Demise Proves To Be What Mark Twain Calls “Exaggerated.” Muncie, Ind., March 4.—A1l day D. H. H. Shew maker, one of the city's prominent men, was kept busy .answering the doorbell at his home to greet friends who had come to mourn over his death.

A distant relative of the Shewmalcera died and a telegrarfi was sent here notifying friends of the fact. The messenger boy who delivered the telegram became confused and called on Shearmaker’s daughter,Mrs. H. Marsh Jackson, to inform her that her father was dead. Knowing that her father had been ill, although his condition was not serious, Mrs. Jackson accepted the message as the truth, as did other relatives, and they also made personal visits to the Shewmaker home.
