M'kINLEY'S DEATH.
HOW the Associated Press Worked to
Get and Give the News.

Get and Give the News
On the afternoon Of Sept 6, 1901,
worn out by long period Of exacting
labor, l set out for Philadelphia with
the purpose of spending few days at
Atlantic City. When reached the
Broad street station in the Quaker
City l was startled by a number of DO
Acemen crying my name. I stepped
up TO one, who pointed to a boy with
an urgent message for me. President
Mckinley had been shot at Buffalo,
ana my presence was required at our
Philadelphia office at once. A mes
sage had been sent to me at Trenton,
but my train had left the station pre-
clsely two minutes ahead of it's ar
rival. Handing my baggage to hotel
porter, I jumped into a cab and dash
ed away to our office. 1 remained
there until dawn Of the following
morning.
The opening pages of the story of
the assassination were badly written,

An inexperienced reporter stood beside
President Mckinley in the Music hall
at Buffalo when Czolgosz fired the IA

phone and notified our Buffalo CORE

All that night the Buffalo Office was
pouring forth a hastily written but
faithful and complete account Of the
tragedy, and by daybreak a relief force
was on the ground. Day by day
through the long vigil while the presi-
dents life hung in the balance each
incident was truthful1y and graphical

the great tragedy false reports of the

Highholes' Large Families.

Few birds have larger families than
the highhole, but, were it not for the
number Of his family, how could he
hold his own among so many enemies?
His conspicuous size and color always
make him a shining mark to the col

Sundays game of ball between
Princeton and Wayzata, which was
expected TO be a veritble battle of the
giants, proved one of the easiest
things the Princeton's ever had to
contend with. Wayzata had evidently
brought all it's best men into the field

they underestimate by large per-
centage the skill of their opponents,
who vanquished them to the tune of
fifteen to one. The line up and scores

clearing away the wreckage and has a
large force of men at work. Machinery

The four men who were killed were
crushed and bruised in such a manner
that 1t was hard work to recognize them.
There was not a bone in any of them

their flesh was strewn all over the mill,
