Kiev, Russia. Sept 15. Peter Stolypln, premier of Russia, was shot and severely injured by a lawyer named M.. Bogrof whllo attending a gala performance of tho opera. He was wounded twice, one bullet entering his

hand, while tho other penetrated the body, grazing the liver and lodging in tho spine. A bulletin issued by the attending physicians pays that the premier has an even chance to recover. Emperor Nicholas and his retinue occupied an adjoining box at the time the shooting occurred. The premier's assailant, who is supposed to be a member of the band of Nihilists that have recently made several attempts on tho premier's life, was arrested by the police as he tried to make his escape through the the

ater lobby. Premier Struck. Just as the premier was about to enter his box a man sprung from be

hind the curtains of a near-by loge and shot twice at his Intended victim and then, evading the bodyguard of tho officials, ran toward tho entrance. Instantly tlie whole house was in an uproar. Premier Stolypln, evidently seriously wounded, fell across a chair, while friends In his party came at once to

his side and physicians were Instantly summoned from to body of the house. Cries of "the" premier has been assassinated" rang through the house and it was with much difficulty that tho nolicn were able to prevent a

panic A few minutes later the premier was carried to his apartments at the Hotel Volva, where he is under the caro of physicians. Feared for His Life, "I have no doubts that attompts will be made unon my life." said M.

Stolypln, when he accepted the premiership In July, 1905, "but I hope that order will be restored and stability established la Russia before they are successful." Representative government has been his avowed aim and strong-handed reform has been his method. On August 25. 1906, a bomb was thrown Into his country house at Aptekarsky island while ho was holding a public reception. The explosion killed 32 porsons and

wounded a much larger number, including tho premier's daughter of fifteen and his son of throe. The daugh

ter was crippled for life. Stolypln, who was in his office at the moment came off unhurt although persons with him jvere knocked down and a bottle of Ink thrown from his desk by the force of tho explosion spattered Its contents over him. Men who had arrived at tho reception disguised as army officers took the bomb there. This attempt at slaughter marked

tho climax of a reljm of terror In

many parts of Russia. Sto'ypln Issued orders to the provincial authorities to spare no efforts to stop the disturbances Arrests followed everywhere. Orders Thousands to Death. The prisoners got drumhead courtmartial. Defense In many cases proved useless. Executions occurred in a few

hours after arrests. Official records in seven months showed that 1.0SO men and women suffered death by shooting and hanging
