' _ Henry ¥, Cochems, one of the Wis- consin ~progressive leaders, told the great crowd which haq assembled in the Auditorium that Colonel Roosevelt had been shot, and asked the people to be calm.

After dinner Colonel Roosevelt went to room on the second floor of the hotel and shortly before 8 o'clock he started for the Auditorium. 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 were Philip Roosevelt, a young cousin, Mr. Cochem, Mr. Martin and Captain Girard. Cheered as He Entered Auto. The crowd pressed close about the colonel and gave a cheer as he ap- peared. As the party appreached the automobile, Colonel Roosevelt's com- panions stood aside, and he stepped into the car. Martin entered directly - behind him, and sat on the further side of the car. Assassin Shoots from Crowd. 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 auto- mobile. He pushed his way to the side of the car,-and, raising his gun, fired. artin caught the flash and leaped over the car a second after the bullet sped on its way. Disarmed by Secretary Ma Col. Roosevelt barely moved as the shot was fired. Before the crowd knew what had happened, Martin, who is six feet tall and a former football player, had jumped squarely upon the assassin’s shoulders and bore him. to the ground, he threw his right arm around the man's neck and with his left arm seized the hand that held the revolver. In another second he had disarmed him. Assassin Brought Up to Roosevelt. Col. Roosevelt stood calmly looking on ,as though nothing had happened. Martin picked the man up as though he were a child and carried him the few feet which separated them from the car, almost to the side of the colonel. “Here he is” said Martin, “look at him colonel.” Cries of “Lynch Him,” “Kill Him.” “All this happened within a few sec- onds and Col. Roosevelt stood gazing rather curiously at the man who at- tempted his life before the stunned crowd realized what was going on. Then a howl of rage went up. “Lynch him, “kill him," cried a hun- dred men. The orowd pressed in on them and Martin and Captain Girard who had followed Martin over the side of the automobile. It seemed for the moment that he would be torn to pleces by the infurlated men, and it was Col. Roosevelt himself who inter- vened in his hehalf. “Don't Hurt Him,” Pleads Colonel. He raised his hand and motioned 10 the ¢rowd to fall back. ‘Stop, stop,” he cried. don't hurt him.” The men in the crowd at first were lisposed to heed his words, but ngth feli back and permitted Mar- n and Captain Girard to carry the man Into the hotel.

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 stain- ed with blood. Col. Roosevelt was not at all dis- mayed at his discovery. “It looks as though I had becn hit, but I don’t think it is anything seri- ous,” said he. Refused to Return to Hotel. Dr. Scurry Terrell, of Dallas, Texas, | Col. Roosevelt’s physician who had en- tered the automobile just before it started off insisted that the colonel return to the hotel. He would not, however, and the car was driven on to the Auditorium . Physicians Urge Him to Go to Hos- pital. As soon as they reached the build- ing, Col. Roosevelt was taken into a dressing room and his outer garments were removed. Dr. Terrell with the help of Dr. John Stratton, of Milwau- kee and Dr. S. S. Sorensen, of Racine, ‘Wis, who was in the Auditorium and came to the dressing room on a call from the platform made a superficial examination of the wound. They agreed that it was impossible to hazard a guess as to the extent of the colonel's injuries and that he should by all means go at once to a hospital. “Will Deliver This Speech or Die.” “I will deliver this speech or die, one or the other,” was Col. Roose- velt's reply. De te the protest of his physicians ing room and on to the stage. A large crowd” packed into the big building cheered loudly as he entered and with- out a word to indicate what had hap- pened went to his seat. For several minutes the crowd, no man of whom suspected that the colonel bore a bullet in his body, kept up its cheer- ing. News Broken to Audience. Then Mr. Cochems stepped to the front of the platform and held up his hands. There was something in his manner which had its effect on the crowd, and the cheering died sudden- 1y away. “I have something to tell you,” said Mr. Cochems, “and 1 hope you will re- ceive the news with calmness.” His voice shook as he spoke and a -&tlingsn . settled.. over.__the “Colonel Roosevelt has been shot. He is wounded.” A Cry of Astonishment. He spoke in a low tome but such was the stillness that everyone heard. A cary of astonishment went up from the crowd, which was thrown into con- fusion in an instant. Mr. Cochems turned and looked inquiringly at Col- onel Roosevelt: “Tell ug, are you hurt?” Shivn Blood-Stained Garments. Men and women shouted loudly. Some of. them rose from their seas and rushed forward to look closely. Colonel Roosevelt rose and walked to the edge of the platform to quiet the crowd. He raised his hand and in- stantly there was silence. “It's true,” he said. Then slowly he unbuttoned his coat and placed his | hand on his breast. Those in front of | the crowd could see the blood-stained garments. Begs to Be Excused from Long Speech “I'm going to ask you to be very quiet,” said he, “and: please excuse me from making a long speech. Il do the best I can, but you see there's a bullet in my body. I'm not hurt bad- A sigh of relief went up from the crowd and then an outburst of tu- multuous cheering. Thoroughly reas- sured by the colonel's action that he was in_no serious shape, the people leaned back in their seats to hear his speech. His Gestures Less Emphatic. Colonel Roosevelt began to spegk in a firm voice, somewhat lower than its usual tone, and except that his char- acteristic 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, his volce sank somewhat and he seemed to stand rather unsteadily. Dr. Terrell and Colonel Lyon, stepped up to him and the doctor insisted that he stop. “'m Going to Finish This Speech.” “Im going to finish this speech,” said the colonel emphatically. “I'm ail right; let me alone.” Dr. Terrell and Colonel Lyon sat down again. The colonel continued his speech, evidently with increasing ef- fort, but he succeeded in making him- self heard and talked for more shan an hour. Then he was rushed to his automobile and flashed through the streets to the emergency hospital. Placed on Operatina Table. The operating room had been placed in readiness to receive him and six of the leading surgeons of Milwaukee werd awalting his arrival. Colonel Roosevelt was undressed and placed upon the operating table, although he insisted that he was not badly hurt and that the doctors were taking it too seriously. X-Ray Machine Used. An examination of the wound show- ed that It had been made by a bullet of large size. It entered the fle: of the right breast half way b the collarbone and lower Tibs. physicians found that thev knew no more after this examination than be- fore as to the location of the bullet, and it was decided to send for an X-ray machine to determine to wha. depth the missile had penetrated. While he was waiting ffor the X-ray machine, Colonel Rooseveli sat up on the op ing table and talked politics and joked gyith the physiclans. Assassin Gives Name of John Schrenk.

Chicago, Oct. 14—At progressive headquarters here the following mes- sage was received from Milwaukee, sent by the surgeons attending Colonei Roosevelt: “Colonel Roosevelt is suffering from a superfical flesh woynd in the right breast. There is no evidence of injury to the lung. The bullet is probably somewhere in the chest wall. There is only one wound, and no sign of injury to the lung. The bleeding e Insignif- cant. The wound has been sterilized externally with gauze by Dr. G. Fayler, the consulting surgeon of the Emergency hospital. The bullet pass- ed through Colorel Roosevelt's army overcoat and other clothing and through a- manuscript and spectacl~ case in the breast pocket, and its course was mearly spent befors it penetr: the chest.- The appearance of the wound also showed evidence of a much spent bullet. Colonel Roosevelt is not suffering from the shock and is in no pain. His condition is so good that the surgeons did not object to his continuing his journey to Chicago in his private car. In Chicago he will be placed under surgical care. The X-ray phetographs have been finished and the colonel is feeling fine.

The information that he formerly lived at 370 Easl Tenth street was obtained from Mrs. Steve Antko, who lives at 270 on the same &treet. Mrs. Antko said the de- scription of the man who shot Roose- velt seemed to tally with that of the man she knew. She said Schrenk's wife was conducting his laundry on Avenue A. but up to a late hour Mrs. Schrenkhad not been found. LEAVES ON SPECIAL TRAIN. | Colonel Rooseveit. Wanted to Shava at Depot, but Not Permitted.

Bullet Lodged in “Belly Wall.” Chicago, Oct. 14.—Philip ' Roosevelt, cousin of Colonel Roosevelt, wires that further examination of the X-ray pho- tograph indicates that the buliet did not penetrate the abdominal wall, but lodged in what is known as the belly wall. If the abdominal wall had been penetrated It would not have been safe for the colonel to attempt the journey to Chicago. The wound is not Tegarded as serious. Colonel Sleeps on Train. Roosevelt Special Train, South Mil- waukee, Wis,, Oct. 15.—Colonel Roose- | velt was in bed, sleeping quietly, as the special train pulled out of Mil- I his waukee for Chicago.

Milwaukee, Oct. 14—For an hour or more a large crowd stood in Sycamore street, outside the hospital, awaiting the news of Colonel Roosevelt's con- dition. The statement of the attend- ing physfcians was taken out and read aloud. The growd started to cheer but it was suppressed for fear that the noise might annoy the colonel. Re- assured by the news, the people for the most part walked off. When Colonel Roosevelt left the hos- pital, waRing, unassisted, there were only a few persons on the streets. “How are you feeling, Colonel?” sald one of the local committeemen, when he came down the elevator from the | operating room, just after an X-ray picture had been taken. “Fine,” announced the colonel, and as he passed along he had @ pleasant word to say to those who greeted him, in turn.

More Concerned in Other Things Than His Wound. Milwaukee, Wis,, Oct. 14—"T do not care a rap about being shot, mot a rap,” said Colonel Roosevelt, in his speech tonight. “Friends,” he begain, “I shall have to-ask you to be as quiet as possible. I do not know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot, but it takes more than that to kill a bull moose. But fortunately I had my manuscript (holding up manuscript and showing addience where the bul- let had gone through), so you see I was going to make a long speech. And, friends, the hole in it is where the bullet went through and it probably saved the bullet from going through my heart. The bullet is in me now, 8o that I cannot maake a very long speech. But I will try my best. And, comrades, I want to take ad- vantage of this incident to say a sol- emn; word of warning to my fellow Americans. First of all, I want to say this about myself.
