Oregonl- an: At tbe borne 01 C Lx. bantess bod, Hillsdale, Monday night, short ly after 8 o'clock, a. desperate strug gle took place between a masked and heavily armed robber, Mr. and Mrs. Sanlesson and Miss Agnes Santesson. The murderous crim inal demanding the money of the household, entered with leveled re volver. Instead of making com pliance with his request, the man of the house attacked him, precipi tating a battle in which two shots were fired, and the entire family was felled and left lying on the floor, after'which the bandit escap The bravery of Mrs. Santesson and Miss Agnese, the daughter, was remarkable. They in turn at tacked . the murderous thug, who fired twice and had a heavy revolv er in his hand and made attempts to kill the entire familv. The net result of ' the fight ' fol lows: Mr. Santessen, shot in forehead, scalp wound and badly bruised by blows. '.. . '-',.. . Mrs. Santesseni beaten "into in sensibility by " the robber who struck her over the head several times with the butt end of his re vol ver, breaking the barrel of the weapon. :: " - Miss Agnes Smtessen, felled to the,floor by a blow from the thug's revolver. '..-.. The robber flees from the scene leaving father, mother and daugh a tit- ring by the. front; door, the! tracked and armed robber found the family seated. lie was cool aad collected and stood facing them, leveling his revolver at their heads. ,1- . .... '- . - ; ; ' ''I want your money," he said. "I want it quick, too." -? : . Without making a reply in words, Mr. Santesson, ;who is auite well along in years but possessed of suf- iiciect nerve and strength to put up. a hard fight, leaped at the matked man. He Btrock the robber in the face and attempted to clinch with him, but jumped aside to es cape a bullet fired by the desperado. Backing off, . hardly knowing what action to take, tha robber glowered at Mrs. and Miss Santes sen for a moment. Seeing her fath er on the Boor, Miss Agnes Santea sen excitedly made & rash toward the man with the weapon, and her father got up just in time to knock her to one side as a second bullet from the revolver was fired She was saved from barm, but Mr. San tessen was struck in the forehead, the bullet glancing and inflicting a scalp wound. He" was stunned; however, and fell to the floor. Then Mrs. Santessen boldly rushed toward the robber. She made an attempt to strike him with her fists, but h9 laid hold of the barrel of his revolver and struck her repeatedly with the butt end, beating her to the floor and finally breaking off the barrel of his weap on. . ;: " Viewing the three victims lying about and evidently fearing-assist-ance would reach the family from outside, the foiled desperado turn ed and fled. He had been thorough-' ly beaten in his attempt at robbery, had nearly killed the - family and had lost his. weapon. ,: It was not long before Mr. and Mrs. Santesson and Miss Agnes re covered sufficiently to get,; up and call for help. A physician was summoned and the wounds of the injured attended. Fortunately none of the family ,was seriously hurt. Mr. Santesson's scalp wound was not bad. Mrs. Santesson is not ex pected to suffer any serious results and Miss Agnes was 'quite recover ed by morning. ' Hillsdale is outside of thecor porate limits of Portland, but E H. Santesson, son of the aged couple, called at police headquarters 3 's before noon yesterday j and gavs a detailed report of -, the sensational affair.

Teniae J-j;Qettet' of tha iandnffice, - -1 - v. Warsaw, March 26. According to latest information, the attack on Baron von Nolken was the result of an elaborate conspiracy of the rev olutionary party. Shortly, before 8 o'clock tonight an elegantly-dreBS-ed man went to the police station" at Praga, a large euburbof Warsaw; on the other eide of tbe .Vistula, and threw a bomb into the court yard of the station, wounding seven persons, two of them dangerously. The man started to rah away but waB caught by the aaptain V ol. the pslice. He was found to be "a Jew, but his identity has not been discovered.- - " A telephone message was ! imme diately sent to Baron vort Nolken at "e City Hall;' informing him of the outrage. Baron von: Nolken, accompanied , by a police official, took a carriagf" and started imme diately for Praga When passing. the governor general resides a man standing on the pavement , threw a bomb at the carriage. Baron yon Nolken, who was siting on the side nearest the assailant, received the ihar?9sof fbgmb,. ybihv. hj-v companioh.'e3cape-nnnuft.. coachman : was ; thrown . from the box and the carriage was demolish ed. iSTm Baron von Nolken was removed to the City Hall atid " doctors $ were summoned, 'who found he. had iet ceived injuries on the head, : neck, arm and leg, which are believed to be serious. ?-:;'' : ' '-'-'' Meantime- the police ' officialvSc company in g Baron von Nolken saw the bomb thrower fleeing and pur sued and caught up with'hkn but the criminal 5 proved ; the stronger and tore himBelf rway.- Another. policeman - fired twice after him without result. Half an hour later a man, whom the police believe "to be the bomb thrower, was found dead in Sowia street. The police think the man shot himself to es cape arrest. -.y --' ..: A girl, who was passing the spot when the bomb was thrown,' was wounded by splinters, and was tak en to the hospital. - . . . " ' According to the theory of the police, the revolutionists calculated upoa Baron von Nolken going to Praga on learning of the explosion of the bomb at the station there, and knew he must pass the castle, that being the only road by which he could reach the only bridge , across the Vistula. The affair caused great excite ment. A popular rumor says the revolutionaries adopted this course of informing the police that they have more bombs besides those dis covered in the Powonski cemetery Saturday. - V Baron von Nolken is very un popular. . He is hated by the mas ses of the Polish people, who held him responsible for the sanguinary eoppression of the disturbance here at 'tha end of Jacuary.
