Home Five Times.
Santa Monica, Cal, Sept. 2S.-While
Governor Smith of the Pacific branch
of the National Soldiers Home, near
! this place, was coming to his head
quarters today, an inmate of the home
| named Albert G.. Bradley, who has been
in the home five years, came up behind
him and shot the governor five times.
one ball taking effect under the right
shoulder blade, one above the right
hip, one through the arm. one that
grazed the arm and one through his
cuff. The surgeons of the home think
the wounds are not fatal. There is
no external bleeding but fears of in
ternal injury are entertained. At times
Bradley has acted strangely, and it
was supposed he was mentally I'M
sound. The governor is resting easy.
Bradley was arrested.
Leavenworth, Kan, Sept. 2S.-Gov-
ernor Smith was in charge of the Ma
tlonal Home at LeaVenWorth for many
years. Early on the morning of June
IL. 1897, the governors residence on
the home grounds at LeaVenWorth was
wrecked by dynamite. The governor,
his wife and daughter, were in the
house, but escaped with minor injuries.
The crime was traced to a veteran. Jo-
seph w Oliver a member of the home,
and he was convicted.
Governor Smiths administration at
the LeaYenworth home was marked by
many troubles. Through the efforts of
Richard w. Blue, then a member of
congress from Kansas, the manage
ment Of the home was investigated by
committee from the house of repre-
sentatives. Many charges were pre-
ferred against Governor Smith, but the
investigation resulted in nothing more
than the transfer TO the governorship
OF the Pacific branch, where he was
wounded today.
