Take Grove’s.
The Old Standard Grove’s Tasteless

the assassin of Archduke
Ferdinand, heir apparent to the Aus-
tro-Hungarian throne, and his wife, [
^at Sarajevo, Bosnia, died yesterday
in a fortress near Prague, of tuber-
culosis, telegraphs the correspondent
at The Hague of the Exchange Tele-
graph Company.
Prinzip shot to death the Austrian
archduke and .his wife while they
were on a visit to the Bosnian capital
on June 28, 1914, and out of this dou-
ble murder the European war devel-
oped, Prinzip, who was a student, was
found guilty and sentenced to twen-
ty years’ imprisonment.?
Prinzip fired two explosive bullets
from a revolver at the Austrian heir
apparent, the first striking the duch-
ess of Hohenberg, the archduke’s
morganatic wife, in the abdomen, and
the second taking effect in the neck
of the archduke. Both bullets caused
death within a short time.
