VOL .-NO. 33 PICKENS, S. C., THURSDAY STEMBER 1 ' ONE DOLLAR A YEAR SHOT BY President McKinley HfS CONDITION FAV( MAY NOT P] President McKinley, while on an ollicial visit to the Pan-American Ex position, was shot by an anarchist on Frida3 afternoon, Sept. th, while holding a public reception in the Tem pIle of Music. The would-be assassil lired a shot which entered the Pr silent's right breast, lodging against the breast bone. Another- shot was fired aL <nce, which entered (he Presidlent's abd(omen. 'Thle assailant was immediately arrosted and was thrown to the ground, and quick as a flash twenty men were upon him. When rescued he was covered with blood from ia gash inl his face. Tihe President was shot4 by a well dressed man who wore a high hat and who, while shaking hanads with the Presideit, fired the shots with his left, haIind, the pistol used b1(ling concealed in a handkerchief. The man afterwards gave his name 11s Fred Niemann,'and claimed to be from Detroit, Mich. Ile admits that he is an anarchist, and says that le 's of Polish nationality. The assassin was immediately seized by Detective [reland, who was stand ing near the President, and was with difliculty rushed off to prison almost before the crowd had time to realize what hai happened. At the same time others present turned their attention to Mr. McKinley. Ile m as carried at at once to the Emergency ho-pital, on the grounds, where physicians exalin ed the wounds and probed for the bullets. The examination developed that one of the hullets lodged against the breast bone and this was abstracted without much dilliculty, the President standimi. the operation with great fortitude. At no time did lie distilay Undue excite ment, and was conscious throughout. The news of the shooting was kept from Mrs. McKinley, who was at heri hotel, until all doubt of the President's condition had passed. 11cr own physi cal condition was such that the physi cians kept back the news, fearing the shock would mean instant death for her. in the meantime, however, the terri ble news had spread like wild lire and there was the greatest excitement along the immense crowd on the grounds and throughout the expo-itioni buildings. The cry was started, " Lynach himl Kill himil" and immediately an efort was made by the crowd to reach the prisoner. But the oflicers managed to .t Nienn away after ain excinileg struggie and soon ha I him well on the way to prison nid the crowd desisted atter seeing the futility of such an effort. At the time of the shooting the Presi dent was smiling and ini his well kn<,vn happy mood was siakiiig hands with the long line of people that lad gather ed to greet him. Althougi the Previ denit was accot upanied by private de teetives, who were constantly on the lookout for Rsspicious characters, t he assassin seems to have founid n1o di lli eulty ini accomplishing hiis diabolical purpose unde Ir the most favorable cir cumflstanlces. Coolly and wit hiom warning and while recei ving~ thle cor dial graspi of the Presiaent' s hal lie fired two shots in r~apid sucecessioni piolnt blank at his victim.i The fact that lhe used his left, hand mi liin g Ithe shots is all that prevenlted his aimii from being mre certaini. When the Priesident wais shot lhe Iell I into the arms of Detective G rry. 11I HE HAD TRIED1 IT L4ONG AGO. Manual Training in the School Days of Bill Arp Proved a Failure.
