worked his way along, making his opportunity, not
waiting for it. Today no IN England has hJmer

Thomas.
The rise of Senator Kearns has been more meteorc,
but it is the less a result of patient industry,

sLAsHED BY AN ANARCHIST.

A Georgetown Man, Who spoke
Against Anarchists While Waiting
for News From the President,
FrfghtfuIIy wounded by a silent
AssaiIant Near BeIlaire.
Bobby Patterson was in Bellaire
last night to get news from the dying
President. He started for home after
midnight at Georgetown. and had gone
but a short distance down the B. & O..
tracks when he was approached by
man who appeared to be on Italian.
who without word attacked him with
a knife, cutting a cash down his face
and neck about eight inches long and
one and one-half deep at the deepest
part, severing a number OF blood yes
sells in the neck. Patterson walked
back at least a quarter Of mile TO
town and unen five blocks TO DR.. West
Office, but the latter was absent. Leay-
ing here in search for aid he met two
ladies, whom ne asked to secure him
assistance. On seeing hlm covered
with blood one lady went into Mysteries
and the other tainted. He succeeded
in reaching Dankworth & Mays drug
store. They took him to DIR. Barnes
office. DIR. Bacon was called and sue
eeeded in stopping the flow OF blood
and sewed up the wound.
Patterson's .other was telephoned
for at Georgetown by the Registers
representative. Patterson had just re-
turned from .uffalo and was within
six feet of President Mckinley when
he was shot. He knows no reason why
the man attacked him. He does not
know his assailant, but would be able
to identify him.
While in Bellaire Mr. Patterson had
freely expressed his opinion OF anarch-
lists in general and it is thought that
his assaiant may be one of that Xix,
ana that the attack was in revenge for
what Mr.. Patterson had said concern
ing the anarchists. The fellow was an
Italian or Fole in appearance.
From the point where the attack was
made to the drug store in town Patter-
son left a bloody trail, and 1t is re-
markable that he should have been
able to reach the city. The police are
searching for his assailant.
