at Milwaukee.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt was
shot by a would-be assasin
Monday night as he was on his
way to the auditorium to make an
sddress.
He had left his hotel in an auto
and while the great throngs were
cheering him along the way he
stood up in the car and waved his
hat. At this juncture a man
pushed his way through the
crowd and fired at Roosevelt.
In an instant one of Mr.
Roosevelt’s secretaries sprang
from the car and bore the man
to the grown, at the same time
wresting the revolver from his
hand. The crowd was terribly
excited and there was strong'
talk of lynching the assassin, but
Col. Roosevelt asked the crowd to
be quiet and not to hurt the man.
Mr. Roosevelt did not know for
some minutes that he had been
shot. It developed however, that
the bullet entered the right breat
just to the right and below the
nipple and ranged upward. ‘
It proved not to be a dangerous
wound, though a painful one.
Col. Roosevelt, against the
advice of his physicians, went on
to the auditorium and made his
