' Milta Sepich, late yesterday after

were taken to St. Ann hospital where
it was stated today that both will re
cover.
An aftermath of the shooting oc
curred last night when M. Sepich,
husband of the wounded woman, and
| two other Austrian^went to the hos
' pital to do bodily harm to the wound
ed assassin. Officers, however, pre
vented any disturbance.—Empire.
