WALLOPED
BY TEDDY
Fargo Incident Recalls Exploit
Of Ex-PreSident
ON STREETS OF WASHINGTON
OF TEDDY IN WASH
ENGToN TELL OF INCIDENT IN
WHICH FORMER PRESIDENT
TOOK A FALL OUT OF MAN WHO
ATTACKED HIM AT NIGHT.

Washington, Sept. S.-The self-pos-
session displayed by Colonel Roosevelt
in handling crank at Fargo, N. D.,
Labor day, recalled among his friends
in Washington, according to an after
noon newspaper, an incident which oc-
CURED while he was president. The
incident was kept quiet at the time.
Colonel Roosevelt's fondness for
walking took him out on the streets Of
Washington one evening at about mid
night. Accompanied by Secret Service
Agent Craig, the president went to the
home of Secretary Root, who had
agreed to go on the midnight walk.
Craig was fifteen or twenty feet be-
hind the two statesmen. AS they were
walking down Connecticut avenue
Craig was Mortified to see a big man
jump from behind a tree and lunge at
the president.
The secret service man pulled his gun
and hurried to protect the executive.
Before he reached his side there was
a smash and thud and the president
was rubbing his right fist which he
had bruised when he sent it crashing
against his would-b assai' ants Jaw
Craig turned his attention to the man
who had been knocked senseless. He
worked over him for fifteen minutes
before he restored him to conscious
ness. A search of his clothes disclosed
that he was not carrying weapons of
any kind, and when he had sufficiently
his senses to talk he de-
clared that he was going to ask for
money, but did not know that his
prospective victim was the president
of the United States.

dition. A physician was called at the
time.

alton was also a witness Of the contest,
which according to Mr.. Beckwith was
one Of the most interesting things he
has seen in some time
Mr.. Beckwith picked out the safe to
be used in the contest from the stock
and it was taken to the woods far away
from all buildings. This safe is one of
the Diebold manganese steel safes with
round bore. Mr.. Beckwitll stated
that 1t took eleven shots to make an
opening in the box and even then the
door was not blown out. The charges
used were from a half ounce to twen-
ty-four ounces of nitro glycerine. The
average charge used by yeggmen il
about four ounces, almost anything
over that amount being dangerous az
| 1t would blow up a building. The
twenty four ounce shot was used to
see just what the safe would stand.
1t was most interesting demon
stration," said Mr.. Beckwith, "and ]
am very glad that had the opportun.
jity Of Witnessing 1t. We were enter
talned by the Diebold people and en-
joyed our visit to the utmost"
