ROOSEVELT
WOUNDED
Attempt Made to' Kill
Him at Milwaukee
Monday.
Shot by Crank Who is Caught
and Lodged In Jail.
While on his way to the Audi
torium to make a political speech
Monday Col. Roosevelt, the Bull
Mooso candidate for President, was
shot by John 'Shrank, thought to
be' of jJew York. The wound was
only very slight, however, and the
Colonel continued on his way to
the Auditorium and made his
speech. Tho man who did tho
shooting was caught and rush
ed to jail, and from his talk and
notes found in his pockets there is
no doubt that he is iiibuue.
Renry S. Cochem seized the man
and. held him until policemen came
up. A mob surged around the pris
oner, who is apparently mentally
upset on the subject of Roosevelt
running for another term ns Presi
dent. Tho man, who is small of
suture, admitted firing the shot
and said that ' any man looking for
a third term ought to be shot."
in notes found in ttic man's
pocket at the police station, were
statements that tho man had been
visited in a dream by the spirit of
William McKinley, who had said
indicating Colonel Roosevelt, "this
is my murderer, avenue my death."
A written proclamation found in
tho clothing of the man who did
the shooting reads:
"September 15, 1912.
"September 15, 1901, at 3 a
m., in a dream, I saw Ptesident
McKinley sit up in a monk's attire
in whom I recognized Theodore
Roosevelt. The President said;
'This is my muidcrer, avenge m.v
death.'
"September 12, 1912, 3 a. in.
While writing a poem some one
tapped me on tho shoulder and
said: 'Let not a murderer take the
Presidential chair. Avenge my
death.'
"Could plainly see Mr. McKin-
ley's features.
"Before 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
tho greatest power in the world,
despite her surviving a tradition
more than 2,000 years old, as Gen.
Nogi so nobly demonstrated, it is
the duty of tho United States of
America to uphold tho thiid 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 lot a third term party em
blem appear on tho official ballot.
"I am willing to die for my
country. God has called me to be
his instrument, so help mo God.
"Innocent Guiltt."
(Written in German).
'A strong power is our God."
Tho Colonel asked to have tho
man brought to him and when the
would-bo assassin was asked why
ho fired tho shot lo reply was of
fered. Col. Roosevelt left on his special
train for Chicago after his speech
at Milwaukee, and said ho expected
to fulfill tho rest of his speaking
dates.

Eye Removed.
Mr. James Wallj of Morehead?
met with a serious .accident hero
which caused him the losfe of his
right eye. Mr. Wall was work
ing around some machinery when
a piece of steel flow off, striking
iiim in tho pupil of tho eye, and
causing intense pain. The wound
was hastily dressed and Mr. Wall
hurried to this city, where ho was
examined by Dr. J. F. Reynolds,
who found tho eye destroyed. It
was in such a condition that to
leaye it in its place would ondan- j
gor the sight of the other eye, and
tho injured one was removed. Mr.
Wall suffered intense pain but is
now getting along all right and it
is not believed that the other eye
will bo affected. Mr. Wall is a
prominent businoss man of More
head, and has many friends who
deeply regret tho unfortunate ac
cident. CHAS. 0.
