The great and renowned professor

COLONEL SEIZES
HIS QUESTIONER
Does Not Release His Grip Until
Stranger Is Moved From
Stand?Wanted. to Know
Who Was Paying Ex
penses of Trip Through
West.
Fargo, >T. D., September 5.--A mari
who fought hls way to ex-I'rcsident
Roosevelt and cnllcd hlm a llar gave
a bad searc to-day to tho crowd at
Island Park, in thls clty. Colonel
Roosevelt selzed the man and helped
to eject hlm from the platform.
Tho colonol had Just flnlshed hls
Labor Dny address, whlch he was de
llvcring to one of the largest crowds
which has gatnered to reo hlm on his
Westcrn trip A heaty ralnatorrn
drenched tne people, but most of them
sat through the afternoon In thelr wet
clothes to hear hlm speak.
As Colonel Koosevelt rpoke the last
sentence tne crowd eheered, and then
there was a ru.in for the speaker's
stand or thousands of people wno
sought to get near enough to see the
speaker ana shake hls hand. Those on
the platrorm pressed around the stand.
and in a moment lt was Inclosed wlth
a surging, struggllng mass of men and
womon. Others In the crowd Jumped
on the platform and added to tho
crush. It was a -good-natured, lautrh
Ing crowd. and the colonel shook hands
wlth every one who could get near
enough to him.
A Question tn Asl.,
A ..mall. poorly dressed man pushc..
hls way through the mass of peoplo
until hc could make himself heard _?y
the colonel. Ile wore a battcred hat
and was unshaven.
"I have a question to ask you.
Roosevelt," he shouted.
He ralsed one arra over the heads of
the people. wavtng It to attract the
colonel's attentlon, and called out
again, and again that he wanted to
ask a question.
Colonel Roosevelt saw hlm, and
watched hlm closely.
Eightlne; hls way through the crowd,
the man at length reached the short
flight of stalrs leadlng to the speak?
er's utand. He mounted .the steps and
stopped when ho reached the top.
Standing about six feot from Colonel
Roosevelt, he called out once more:
"I have a question to ask you.
Roosevelt."
- The men and women on thc stand
grew silent. Colonel Roosevelt turned
and faced him. Waving one arm. the
man shouted:
"I want to know w'ho ls paylng .he
exponses of thls trip of yours about
the country."
The question angcred Colonel Roose?
velt, and hls face showed lt. He ad
vancod a ytep toward hls Interrogator
and -hot back hls answer.
"Ijconsider that to be an lmpertl
nent question," he said. "However, I
have no objection to telllng you," he
_dded, "that the expenses of the party
are being pald by the magazlne of
whlch I am one of the edltors."
'Tou Ile:" tho man shouted so loud
iy that hundreds of persons ln the
crowd could hear him.
Selzed hy the Colonel.
As he spoke the words, Colonel
Roosevelt stepped forward quickly and
seized his arm just above the elbow.
He expiamed later that he did not
know who the man was, or what hia
intentlons were, nnd that he had taken
flold of hls arm as a measuro of self
protectlon. He pushed the arm for?
ward, turning- the man half around, so
that he was powerless to use tho arm.
It was an oid trick of self-defenso
whlch he had learned years ago, the
colonel sald.
Hls vlgorous action tltd not deter
the man from nnlshlns what he had
to say. He shouted out:
"Your expenses are being pald by
the. people of the Unlted States"
Although Colonel Roosevelt was the
first to act, others ran quickly to as
slst hlm, and even before the man iiad
fired hls remarks two men selzed him.
The colonel did not release his grip
untll the stranger was moving rapld
ly from the stand. He was ojected
from the platform, and was swallowed
up In tho excltod crowd.
So far as ls known, there was no
causo for the alarm, but the story of
the lncident sproad quickly through
tho crowd, and produced consldorable
excitement.
Colonel Roosevelt managed to get
to hls automobile and was drlven
rapldly away.
In tolling of the lncident ln.ter, the
colonel said that ho had no ldea who
the stranger was.
"Members of tho labor organlzatlons
here came to me and told me that
they did not know hlm,'1 he sald.
"They sald. that ho had come from out
of town."
An effort was made to flnd tho man,
but all traces of hlm wero lost.
Colonel Roosevelt sald that he was
not at all alarmed by what had hap
pened. He merely caught hold of the
man to guard against the posslblllty
of any sudden move, he sald.

pursue was to hold fast to tho limlta
tlona of the Constltutlon and to re?
gard as sacred the power of the States.
