Pueblo. Colo, Sept. Ex-Governor
theodore Roosevelt narrowly escaped a.
nobbing at this city last night. The
confession of an italian. named Igo
Ferrio. is all that saved him from a
rough time.
Two hundred Hungarians and Italians
here, employed in the smelling works
and avowed anarchists. were prepared
to rotten egg him. They also intended
to rush his scort with stones and eggs
and drive him to his car for safety.
During the last two days these for
eigners-there is not all American in the
crowd concerned-formed secret or
ganization, whose purpose was to mob
Governor Roosevelt.
Among their number was an Italian
by the name OF Igo Ferrio. He listened
10 all they had to say and in the after
noon called upon Chief of Police Griffin.
and Mayor George West and appraised
them Of what was to happen as soon
as the Roosevelt party was in Their
town.
The mayor and chief of police are.
both democrats but they acted with.
Ipromptness. Extra police We're sworn
in and all the detectives OF the city put
to work BY the time the governor arr
rived six OF the ringleaders were under
stern measures would be resorted to IL
this was sa!utary.
While the streets were filled all even
ing with a mob OF hoodlums shouting
for Bryan" and curslng Roosevelt. no
violence was offered the governor or his
friends. 1t is impossible. however, for
them TO appear on the streets without
insult being offered.
The men who planned the riot and at
tack belong to the lowest class OF the
population in Pueblo. Many of them do
not speak the English language, and
few have any understanding of Ameri-
can ways.
That some one instigated them to plan
this attack there can be no doubt, but
who it is impossible to say at this time,
liz ever.
Most Of these men go armed and this
tact, with the eggs and stones they pro-
posed to use, would have made the as
.sault upon the governor a most dam
gerous one.
He was quietly told of the proposed
raid and how the city authorities had
| nippedi it. 1t did not deter him from at
ltending all the meetings planned and
speaking as he had originally intended
4 ito do.
Colorado republicans We're in fury
/ Yesterday over the attack on Governor
Roosevelt at Victor Wednesday even
ling. Colorado democrats We're apollo
! getic as citizens. AS partisans they de-
nied that the democratic party of the
state or the Teller party had inspired
1.-THE attack. The Rocky Mountain News,
1.-THE organ of the party. openly charged
Senator Wolcott with having inspired
| the attack for he purpose of laying the
lblame for the same on the democrats.
Senator Wolcott, who has not been in
4 the best of temper since the trip COM
menced. was so angry at this accusa-
/ ton, connected as 1t was with villain
i Gus attacks on Governor Roosevelt,
written by the special correspondent OF
1.-The News on his train, that the CORE
! spondent was put off the train at Canon
lefty.
He was politely told that correspon-
dent who would accept the courtesy OF
4 gentlemen, dine with them. and receive
4 attention from them. and then write
malicious stories about their conduct,
could not travel any longer With them
His reply was: am very much
4 .obliged that you did not put me off be-
i fore
4 Governor Roosevelt has made no di-
i rect references to the Victor attack IN
i any of his speeches. He has charged no
4 one with being responsible for it, The
A nearest reference he has made to the
4 riot, out Of which he came with sharp
lay bruised knee, was this paragraph Of
4 his speeches a Leadville and Salida.
