Cripple Greek, COL, Sept. 27.--At Vic
tor, few miles from here, yesterday,
| Governor koJSccVit had narrow cs-
cape from serious personal violence.
The incident was the only one of the
kind that has occurred during the prog
ress of the trip. and it is said that the
| trouble was occasloned by n small body
of roughs. who had been organized and
paid for the purpose of breaking up the
meeting.
Governor Roosevelt nuu naruiy beg uir
speaking when he was interrupted by
noisy demonstrations. He said: I'm
my state the men who were put on the
committee on platform to draw up an
antitrust platform at the Kansas City
convention had at that time their
pockets stuffed with ice trust stock. The
Democratic leader in New York, Rich
ard Croker. upon whom you base your
only hope-and it is mighty slim hope,
too-was another great stockholder, and
If. in fact, you were to read through the
list of stockholders in that trust, it
would sound like reading the roll of the
members of Tammany Hall"
A voice cried: what about the rot
ten beef?"
The governor replied: II ate 1t. and
you will never get near enough to be hit

When the governor left the hall with
his party to so toward the train he was
surrounded by a company OF rough
riders, commanded by Sherman Bell. one
of his own soldiers in the Spanish war
lie was also accompanied by Curtis
Guild, Jr., of Boston, Senator Wolcott
and several others.
Governor Roosevelt and his party were
on foot. a crowd Of boys began throw
ing stones and shouting for Bryan.
The rough riders. mounted and un-
mounted, closed in around the governor
10 protect him from assault by the mob.
''nc man made n personal attack upon
Governor Roosevelt, and succeeded in
striking him IA blow on the breast with
stick. The assa!lant was Immediately
knocked down by Daniel M. Sullivan,
postmaster OF Cripple Creek
rush was then lrnde to drag tha
mounted men in khahki uniforms from
their horT2s. Tho men on foot. also in
khahki. closed around tho governor,
making wedge which pushed through
the crowd. and they finally succeeded in
gaining the train, which was surrounded
by the mob.
i'y this time there were probably 1900
excited people in the vicinity AMI fisti-
cuffs were exchanged on all sides.
Many or the MOB were armed with
sticks and clubs, some with rotten po-
tatoes, stale eggs and lemons. The en-
ire party rcgained the train however,
without serious injury. and it pulled out
of the place with the rough riders on the
ear platform.
Governor Roosevelt while regrctting
II" incident, was not disturbed by the
incident, and was ready to proceed with
his speeches at Cripple Creek.

meetings III this city last night, all of
which were indoor meetings and large,
orderly and appreciativc. In addition
