V- ....... ... ANARCHIST KILLED. Had Stabbed Cluef Shippy and Shot His Son?Stangcr Enters Home of Chief Shippy in Cliieago and Attempts to Assassinato Him. Chief of Police Ceorgo M. Shippy, of Chicago, his son Harry and his 'driver, James Foley, were wounded by an Anarchist who attempted to assassinate Mie police official in tin: hall of the la tier's residence, ,'M Lincoln Court, shortly after <> o'clock Monday morning, The desperate stiuggle, in which Mrs. Sliippv and her daughter, Georgictta, joined was terminated when (lie chief drew his own revolver and killed his assailant. Attempts to identify the dead man have thus far resulted in failure. The attack is believed to have been resn^ ?f a conspiracy to harm officials who have been active in suppressing manifestations of anarchy in that, community. Oiher city officials are said to have been fltreaiened and ft police spy, who recognized the corpse of the man who invaded Shippy 's home as flint of a person who regularly attended anarchists' meetJugs, asserted Mini the man was chosen by lot to do a way with not only the chief of police, but Mayor Busse as well. The ramifications of :.he plot are said to extend to other cities, and to be closely connected with the killing of the l?ev. Leo Heinriclis, a Roman Catholic priest, who was shot down at I lie altar of his church in Denver. Harry Shippy was shot through the breast twice and was probably fatally wounded, lfis father was stabbed in the arm, wlul'e l^oley received a bullet in the wrist. Mrs. Shippy was kicked by tiro desperado, but her injuries are slight. Following the attack squads of police were sent into the Tlalinn and Ghetto quarters of the city. Places known as headquarters of secret societies suspected of anarchistic tendencies were raided and a score or more arrests were made. ^ That the. allemipt to kill Chief Shippy resulted in failure was du\s largely to the policeman's quickness in anticipating the purpose of his visitor's presence. The man had twice called at. the bouse, and asked for the chief, and was told that. Mr. Shippy was nt work, and called again Monday morning, when a servant informed him that lire chief eoul.l not be seen before 0 o'clock. When he rang the door bell as Ihe latter hour the chief himself answered the call. "As I opened the door," said Chief Shippy, later, "the man raised 'nis hat and I allowed him lo stop into the hallway. He handed me an envelope. 1 glanced at it and then the thought struck live that the man was up to some wrong. lie looked like an anarchist. I grabbed bis arms and called lo my wife, who was in another room. When she ran into Ihe hallway 1 snid: "M'oMier. see if this man has a revolver." She felt, in owe of his pockets and snid that lie bad. "I tried to hold liiin with one band and draw my revolver with the other but he jerked away and fell against the door. 1 caught him again and while we were struggling my son, who was lip-stairs, started |o my aid. He was only a lew steps I roni the bottom of Ihe stairs when (lie man freed one hand, drew his revolver and fired two shots at 1 larry. Then Foley, who had been summoned by my daughter, stepped into the hall anil the man shot him. The man kicked my wife to one side, and by this time I had got my own revolver, and both Foley and I opened fire. At my first shot, which si tuck him in tire head, be fell, but 1 tired three more, onu into his head and two into his body, two of Foley's shot's struck the assassin." Foley and Harry Shippy were taken to a hospital. The body of tdie anarchist was removed to a morgue. A search of the corpse failed lo reveal any marks by which it might be identified. In a pocket of die mail's coat, howler, the police discovered a small box of lozenges, (he package bearing a label inscribed: "Trowbridge Con^ fed ionery Company, Meadeville, Pa." The lozenges were sent to a chemist, tor analysis, the police being of the opinion that they might contain posion with which it was the man's intention to commit suicide if arrested. The police are confirmed in the belief that, the attaclv on their chief was due to an anarchist's plot. The idea that the man may have had a personal grievance against the official because of an arrest or some similar affair, was given up when defectives of tn'e department failed to recognize the corpse as that of any known criminal. I'wo members of the force asserted that they had seen flic man at a mooting of anarchists about ten days ago. Both (lie cliiof ami Mrs. Shippy assert ilia I Hi.; formers life was saved by Die appearance of their'son. The young man who is IS years old is a student at a military academy in Culver, Ind. Ho was at home because of illness and hastened to his father's aid when he heard the struggle in tho hall. "1 must have been shot and killed if the boy had not come to my assistance," said the cliiof. "Mlothor was too terrified to do anything. She was helpless as soon as she felt the revolver in tlie man's pocket." One of the first places raided by the police after the. shooting was the headquarters of a society known as the " Kdclstadt Group," at 427 Union street. Pictures of Iferr Most and other anarchists were confiscated, as were also thousand hand bills announcing a series of meetings at which Knima Goldman was scheduled to speak. One of these meetings was announced for March (i and another for March 0. A library a short distance away was also invaded by the police, and several hundred volumes and pamphlets dealing with anarch- , ism were searched. MONEY COLLECTED FOR THE TRIPLETS. Columbia Slate. Some time ago an article appeared 1 in this paper in reference to the fact that C. R. Ballington who lives near Gilbert in Lexington county was the ' father of three children horn to Mrs. ' Ballington in January and that they \ had had born to them the year before twins. li was also stated that J. A. Lewis who lives near the place of Mr. Ballinglon had been here solicit- | ing money to aid in supporting the j child ren. Mr. Ballington was here this week and stated that while lie was a poor man he was able to support the children and that lie had not received any of the money that Lewis was said to have h.vii collecting. Mi Ballington , learned here that Lewis had collected a lew dollars from different parties, but none of this money had been turned over to the father of tiio five children. Yesterday Lewis was in the city and stated that he had been away 1 from this part of the country for about three weeks and did not know anything of the reports that had been g..1ieu out until his return to the city yesterday. Then he went to Ballington and the matter was straightened out as a signed statement shows. The statement that Mr. Lewis presents is as fellows: "Gilbert, S. 0., March 2, 1908. "Received of John A. Lewis $(i.2f), amount in full collected by him in Columbia, S. C. This money was collectod through the kindness of Mr. Lewis. (Signed) ''0. Klird Ballington, "Father of Triplets and Twins. "Lexington Coutily, Gilbert, S. C. "'Signed in presence of .1. Krvc, March 2. IMS." This seems to settle the matter all right. Mr. Lewis stated that lie. had no idea that it would be thought that he had gone off with (lie money. The statement from Ballington brought here by Lewis shows that the money was collected with the best intentions. Tho Ounce of Prevention. To stop a leak in time often saves a disastrous flood, with consequent loss and damage. A bad cold, unless promptly treated, may grow into a stubborn catarrh of Mve head, throat, stomach or bowels, threatening dire disaster any moment. No one is truly at themselves with a catarrhal affection of the mucous membrane at any stage, and it is pure recklessness to allow such conditions to continue. The ounce of prevention or the absolute cure for any case, of catarrh is found in a remedy known as Andes' Great Prescription. Since it was first, introduced thousands of bottles have been distributed by W. 10. Pelham and Son. and in no instance ha< a failure to cure been reported. Besides catarrh, this wonderful remedy cnri's all blood disorders, rheumatism and snob ordinary ills as indigestion, dyspepsia, torpid liver, biliousness, constipation and nervousness like magic. Ask for examples of what it has done for others. ft will cost you $1 per bottle, three tor $2.;)0, or six for $">.00. If six bottles don't perform a cure in your case, where directions are followed for above diseases, you can have your money back. What fairer proposition can be asked? The open formula of Andes' Great Prescription is printed on every package and label. Tt's a good one. There are no secrets to hide. It does its work speedily and permanently. I bat's why physicians are recommending it in their family practice, They know no better remedy. Hardware Company We are now oocupying our own storeroom 1 104 Caldwell street, and 1211-1213 Friend.
