President Roosevelt Does Not Believe
Anybody Attempted to Fill Him
Full of Shot.

Oyster Bay. Sept. s.-Sensational re-
ports that an attempt had been made
to shoot President Roosevelt apparently

been any overt act directed against the
president 1t is his custom TO ride out
every day, covering various routes in the
countryside. and 1t is not unusual for
him to encounter parties of hunters. Also,
there is a shooting club which engages
in target practice not far from Sycamore
Hill.

ment that anyone had tried to do harm
to Mr.. Roosevelt. No attention what
