.
and. making his way through the crowd which had gathered at the
station, entered an automobile and was driven to the hotel. He took
dinner in a private dining room on the main floor with the mem?
bers of the party on his private car.
After dinner Colonel Roosevelt went to his room on the second
floor of the hotel and a little before 8 o'clock he started for the Audi
torium. His automobile stood in front of the door, and about it was
a big crowd. waiting to catch a glimpse of the colonel as he started off.
With the colonel was Philip Roosevelt, a young cousin; Mr.
Cochems, Mr. Martin and Captain Girard.
The crowd pressed close about the colonel and gave a cheer as
he appeared. As the party approached the automobile Colonel
Roosevelt's companions stood aside and he stepped into the car. Mar?
tin entered directly behind him, and sat on the further side of the car.
Colonel Roosevelt stood up, waving his hat in answer to the
cheers of the crowd. The assassin was standing in the crowd. a few
feet from the automobile. He pushed his way to the side of the car
and, raising his revolver, fired.
Martin caught the flash, and leaped over the car a second after
the bullet sped on its way.
Colonel Roosevelt barely moved as the shot was fired. Before
the crowd knew what had happened, Martin, who is six feet tall and
an ex-football player, had landed squarely on the would-be assassin _
shoulders and had borne him to the ground. He threw his right arm
about the man _ neck with a deathlike grip, and with his left arm
seized the hand that held the revolver. In another second he had
d-sarmed him.
Colonel Roosevelt stood calmly looking on, as if nothing had
happened. Martin picked the man up as if he were a child and car?
ried him the few feet which separated them from the car, almost to
the side of the colonel.
"Here he is," said Martin, "iook at him, colonel."
All this happened within a few seeonds, and Colonel Roosevelt
stood gazing rather curiously at the man who attempted his life be?
fore the stunned crowd realized what was going on. Then a howl
of rage went up.
"Lynch him!" "Kill him!" cried a hundred men.
The crowd pressed in, and Martin and Captain Girard. who had
followed Martin over the side of the automobile, were caught with
their prisoner in the midst of a struggling throng of maddened men.
It seemed for the moment that he would be torn to pietes by the in
furiated men. and it was Colonel Roosevelt himself who intervened
on his behalf.
"DON'T HURT HIM!" CRIES ROOSEVELT.
The colonel raised his hand and motioned to the crowd tofall back.
"Stop! Stop!" he cried. "Stand back! Don't hurt him!"
The men in the crowd at first were not disposed to hecd his words. but
at length they fell back and permitted Martin and Captain Girard to carry
the man into the hotel. After a short struggle the would-be assassin gave
up and was carried without resistance out of the reach of the crowd.
"Are you hurt, colonel?" a hundred voices called cut.
"Oh, no," he responded, with a smile. "Missed me that time. I'm not
hurt a bit."
"I think we'd better be going on," the colonel said to the other members
of his oarty. "or we will be late."
No one in the party, including Colonel Roosevelt himself, entertained
the slightest notion that he had been shot. He felt no shock or pain at
the time, and it was assumed that the bullet went wiid.
As soon as Colonel Roosevelt had assured himself that the assassin
was safe in the hands of the police. he gave orders to dnve on to the Audi
torium.
The party had driven scarcely one of the four blocks from the^ hoj_l
to the Auditorium when John McGrath. another of Colonel Roosevelt's sec
retaries, uttered a sharp exclamation and pointed to the colonel's breast.
"Look, colonel." he cried. "There is a ht le in your overcoat."
Colonel Roosevelt looked down. saw the hole, then unbuttoned the big
brown army coat which he was wearing, and thrust his hand beneath it.
When he withdrew it his fingers were stained with blood.
Colonel Rco?evelt was not at all dismayed by his discovery.
"It looks as though I had been hit," he said; "but I don't think it is
anything serious."
Dr. Scurry Terrell, of Dallas, Tex.. Colonel Roosevelt's physician. who
had entered the automobile just before it started off, insisted that the colonel
return to the hotel. He would not hear of it, however. and the car was
driven on to the Auditorium.
As soon as they reached the building, Colonel Roosevelt was taken into
a dressing room and his outer garments were removed. Dr. Terrell, with
the help of Dr. John Stratton, of Milwaukee, and Dr. S. S. Sorcnson, of
Racine, Wis., who were in the audience and came to the dressing room
on a call from the platform, made a superficial examination of the wound.
They agreed t^int it was impossible to tell offhand the extent of the colonel's
injuries. and that he should by all means go at once to a hospital.
AUDIENCE DIDN'T SUSPECT SHOOTING.
Desptte the protests of his physicians, the colonel strode out of the
dressing room to the scage.
The large crowd packed into the big building cheered loudly as he
entered. and without a word to indicate what had happened went to his
Baat For several minutes the crowd. no man of whom suspected that the
colonel bore a bullet in his body, kept up its cheering.
Then Mr. Cochems stepped to the front of the platform and held up
hia hand. There was something in his manner which had its effect on the
crowd. and the cheering died suddenly away.
"I have something to tell you," said Mr. Cochems, "and I hope you
will receive the news with calmness."
His voice shook as he spoke, and a deathlike stillness settled over the
throng.
"Colonel Roosevelt has been shot. He is wounded'
Mr. Cochems spoke in a low tone, but such was the stillness that every
one heard him.
A cry of astonishment and horror went up from the crowd, which was
thrown into confusion in an instant. Mr. Cochems turned and looked in
quiringly at Colonel Roosevelt.
"Tell us, are you burt?" he asked.
Men and women shouted wildly. Some of them rose from their seats
and rushed forward to look more closely at the candidate.
Colonel Roosevelt rose and walked to the edge of the platform to quiet
the crowd. He raised his hand and instantly there was silence.
"It's true," he aaid.
Then slowly he unbuttoned his coat and placed his hand on his breast.
Those in the front of the crowd could catch a sight of the blood stained
garment. _______
"I'm going to ask you to be very quiet," said Colonel Roosevelt, and
please excuse me from making you a very long speech. I'll do the best I
can, but you Bee there is a bullet in my body. But it's nothing. I'm not
hurt badly." . , , _ _
A sigh of relief went up from the crowd. and then an outburst of
tumultuous cheering. Thoroughiy reassured by the colonel's action that
he was in no serious danger. the people settled back into their seats to hear
hla speech. , , _
Colonel Roosevelt began to speak in a firm voice, somewhat lower than
ita usual tone, and, except that his gestures were less emphatic than usual
there was nothing about the man to indicate his condition.
After he had been speaking a few moments, however. the colonel s voice
_ank somewhat and he seemed to stand rather unsteadily
Dr. Terrell and Colonel Lyon stepped up to him, and the doctor insisted
that he stop_

"l'm going to finish this speech," said the colonel emphatically. 'Tm
all right. Let me alone."
Dr. Terrell and Colonel Lyon sat down again. The colonel continued
his speech. evidently with increasing effort, but he succeeded in making him?
self heard, and talked for more than an hour. Then he was hurried to his
automobile and rushed through the streets to the Emergency Hospital.
ON THE OPERATING TABLE.
The oprrating room had been placed in readiness to receive Colonel
Roosevelt, and six of the leading surgeons of Milwaukee were awaiting his
arrival.
The colonel was undressed and placed on the operating table, although
he insisted that he was not badly hurt and that the doctors were taking it too
seriously.
An examination of the wound showed that it had been made by a bullet
of large size. It entered the fleshy part of the right breast, halfway between
the collarbone and lower rib.
The physicians found they knew no more after their examinBtion than
before as to the location of the bullet, and it was decided to send for an
X-ray machine to determine to what depth the missile had penetrated.
Whiie he was waiting for the X-ray machine Colonel Roosevelt sat upon
the operating table and talked politics and joked with the physicians.
When Schrenk was captured and the colonel had started for the Audi?
torium he was hurried out of the crowd into the hotel. He offered resis
tance. but was helpless in the sturdy, willing hands that grasped him.
Schrank was half carried as hi was hurried through the corridor of the
hotel into the dining room and thence into the kitchen. where he was put
through a hurried and presslng interrogation by Sergeant Mooney and the
others present, but without eliciting a single statement.
Schrenk's clothing gave no hint of his identity and he refused to talk
of his attack, to give his name or to answer any questions.
Scraps of hotel memoranda, dates and the like. on the back of an
envelope showed that the prisoner had apparently been following the Colonel
all about the country, waiting for a favorable time to attack the Progres?
sive leader.
DIRECTED BY SPIRIT OF M'KINLEY.
A written proclamation found in hiis clothing read:
September 15, 1912.
September 15. 1901, 1:30 A. M.?In a dream I saw President Mc?
Kinley set up in a monk's attire in whom I recognized Theodore
Roosevelt. The President said: "This is my murderer. Avenge my
death."
September 12. 1912, 1:30 a. m.. whiie writing a poem, some one
tapped me on the shoulder and said: "Let not a murderer take the
Presidential chair. Avenge my death."
I could plainly see Mr. McKinley's features.
Before the Almighty God, I swear this above writing is nothing
but the truth.
Another note found in the man's pocket reads:
So long as Japan could rise to the greatest power of the world.
despite her surviving a tradition more than two thousand years old.
ar, General Nogi so nobly demonstrated, it is the duty of the United
States of America to uphold the third term tradition. Let every third
termer be regarded as a traitor to the American cause. Let it be the
right and duty of every citizen to.forcibly remove a third termer.
Never let a third term party emblem appear on the ofheial baliot.
I am willing to die for my country. God has called me to be His
instrument. so help me God. INNOCENT GUILTY.
To this was added. written in German:
A strong tower is our God. (Lin feste Burg ist unser Gott.)
Schrenk is five feet five inches in height. and weighs 170 pounds. He
has a light complexion. and is bald and fairly well drcutd He confesscd
to the police that he fired the shot. and ma.Je the remark:
"Any man looking for a third term ought to be shot."

MARTIN TELLS HOW
HE CAUGHT SCHRENK
Milwaukee, Oct. 14.?Albert H. Martin, to whom Colonel Roosevelt
perhaps owes his life, told the story to-night of his adventure.
"I walked downstairs with the colonel and out to the tar," said Mr.
Martin, "and had taken my 6eat before anything happened. As Colonel
Roosevelt was standing in the car waving his hat to the crowd the Mash of
metal caught my eye.
"I did not stop to think what I was doing, and before I really knew it
jumped over the side of the car and had my arm around the neck of a man I
had hardly seen. Everything seemed to happen at once.
"There was a flash, a sound of a shot, and I was on the ground with
?the man I threw one arm about his neck and held him fast. At the same
time I caught hls gun hand with my free hand and wrenched the revolver
from him.
"He struggled for a minute. but in spite of the fact that he was acting
like a madman he did not keep up the fight long, and with the help of
Captain Girard I soon had him under control.
"I picked the man up and held him where Colonel Roosevelt could
see him.
"The poor creature,' said the colonel.
"I put the revolver into my pocket and began to drag the man out of
the crowd.
