Roosevelt Called Liar by North Dakota Man. Eargo, X. D. Sept, (>. —A man who fought his way to ex-I’re-i lent Roosevelt and called him a liar gave a had scare to the people at Island Park io this city. Col. Roosevelt seized the man and help'd O'- t him from the; platform. The colonel had just finished his Labor Day address which was de livered to one of the largest crowds which ha.* gathered to e hut: >:. his western trip. A heavy rain storm drenched the people,- but most of then sat through the after noon in their wet clothes to hear him speak. As Col. Roosevelt spoke the last sentence the crowd cheered and there was a rush for the speaker’s stand of thousands of people who sought to get near enough to the speaker and shake his hand. Those on the platform pressed around the stand and in a moment it was en closed with a surging, struggling mass of men and women. -Others in the crowd jumped on the plat form, pressed around the stand and added to the crush. It was a good natural, laughing crowd and the colonel shook hands with every one that could get near enough to him. A small poorly dressed man push ed his way through the of people until he could get himself beside the colonel. lie wore a battered hat and was unshaven. “1 have a question to ask Roose velt,” he shouted. II<: raised one arm over the heads of the people, waving it to attract the colonel’s attention and called out again and again that he wanted to ask a ques tion. Col Itooscvelt saw and watched him closely. Fighting his way through the crowd the man at length reached the short flight of stairs leading to the speaker's stand. He mounted the steps and stopped when he reached the top. Standing almut six feet from Col. Roosevelt he call ed out: “I have a question to ask you, Roosevelt,” once more. The men and women on tin stand grow quiet. Col. Roosevelt turned and faced him. Waving one arm the man shouted: “I want to know who is paying the expenses of this trip of yours about the country.” The question angered the colonei and his face showed it. He advanced a step forward to his interrogator and shot back the a- lswer: “I consider that to be an imper tinent question,” he said. “How ever, 1 have no objection to tell you,” he added, “that the expenses of the party are being paid by the magzaine of which I am one of the editors. ” “You lie,” the man shouted so loud that hundreds of persons in the crowd could hear him. As he spoke the words Col. Roose velt stepped forward quickly and si zed iiis arm just above the elbow.

Later lie explained he did not know who the man was or what his intentions were and that he had taken hold of him as a measure of self protection. He pushed the arm forward, turning the man half around so that he was powerless to use the arm. It was an old man ner of protection which he had learned years ago the colonel said. His vigorous action did not deter the man from finishing what he had to say. He shouted out: “ Your, expenses are being paid by the People of the United States.” Although Col. Roosevelt was the first to act, others ran quickly to his assistance and even before the man had finished his remarks, two men seized him. The colonel did not release his grip until the strang er was moving rapidly from the stand. He was ejected from the platform and was swailowed up in the excited crowd. So far as is known, there was no cause for the alaam, but the story of the incident spread quickly through the crowd and produced considerable excitement. In telling of'the incident later the colonel said he had no idea who the stranger was. “Members os the labor organiza tions came tome and told me that they diil not know him,” lie said; “They say that he had come from out of town.” An effort was made to find the man, but all traces of him were] lost. Col. Roosevelt said he was not at at all alarmed by what had happened. He merely caught hold of the man to guard against the possibility of any sudden move he said. FOR SALE! 15 Resident Lots.
