Attempted Assassination

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION. 

Louise Michel Seriously Wounded While Addressing Anarchists.

PARIS, Jan. 23. — An attempt was made to kill Louise Michel at Havre Sunday evening. She was making an address at a meeting of Anarchists, when a man in the audience named Lucas suddenly arose, and, pointing a revolver at the speaker, fired two shots at her. She received a serious wound in the head and the lobe of one of her ears was torn away. Lucas had a narrow escape from lynching at the hands of the infuriated Anarchists, and it was only the timely arrival of the gendarmes that saved him. He was locked up.
