FOUR MILITIA COMPANIES UNDER ARMS

The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1901-09-14

BUFFALO, Sept. H-Shortly after mid
night the great crowds on the street be-
came excited over a rumor that the Pres
ident was dead. A rush was made toward
the police station where Czolgocz, the
murderous Anarchist. is confined. 1t was
promptly met by the police reserves
mounted and on foot and driven back after
"a weak resistance. In fact, twenty police
men handled the mob on one street without
trouble. indicating that they were not very
much in earnest I'm their endeavors to get
to police headquarters.
At 1 o'clock the main street of the city
became little more animated and some
excitement was manifested. This was
caused by the issuing Of three newspapers,
all of them evening papers, announcing the
death OF the President The mounted
police. however, kept the crowds moving
and would not let them down the streets
near where the assassin is confined. One
Of the morning papers issued an extra tell
ing the exact circumstance and that the
President was still alive and this somewhat
allayed the excitement.

superintendent of Police Bull said to-
night with reference to the rumors OF the
removal OF Czolgocz: There is only one
person to whose custody the prisoner could
be removed. and that is the sheriff OF Erie
county. He has not been turned over TO
him and il will be some time before Czol-
gOcz leaves my custody. The arFa-S---
ments We made was 10 provide for any
contingency that might arise. L am sure
that there is no danger of any trouble in

Throughout the city, except at the police
station and newspaper offices, there was
no excitement. Up about the corners near
the Milburn house was picturesque but
rather gruesome scene when IL is remem-
bered that the crowds gathered there were
awaiting the Presidents death. The half
dozen tents and the two big election booths

the ropes stretched from corner To corner,
the solemn-looking police guard. the pacing
soldiers. and. above all, the quietness OF
the assembled multitude bore witness TO
the solemnity of the occasion. At Intervals
a carriage would drive up and then the
newspaper men would move toward IL.
The Milburn house was hardly discernible
among the trees. the lights i'm the house
having been dimmed, but at minute inter-
walls there would come out some person
who had information TO bear and the eager
crowd would surround him. But from the
time that Secretary Cortleyou told that the

But in this period, when his mind was par

profoundly touching character.

grouped in anxious waiting. They knew

There was only a momentary stay of the
Cabinet officers at the threshold of the
death chamber. Then they withdrew, the
tears streaming down their faces and words
of intense grief choking in their throats.
After the Cabinet officers left the sicp
room the physicians rallied the patient tc

the news OF the sudden collapse Of the
President was announced. The Ill news of
the early day had been somewhat softened
by the later afternoon announcement that
there was a slight Improvement, and the
sudden announcement of his approaching
dissolution came as a great surprise. AT
the Pan-American grounds it was an

the immense crowd started toward the city.

any anticipation. but made it understood
that there was no hope. 1t seemed but an

was confirmed somebody shouted. Lets
