ROOSEVELT SHOT
BY INSANE MAN
Colonel Only Slightly Wounded;
Maniac Arrested
BULLET HITS JUST OVER HEART
Would-5e Assassin One of Crowd at
Entrance of Milwaukee HoteI-Bul-
let Fired at Close Range, Aim Bad.


let Fired at Close Range, Aim Bad.
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt was
made the target of the pistol of a
would-be assassin just as he was about
to leave his hotel in Milwaukee, Wis.
1t is believed the man who fired the
shot is insane.
The man was one of the immense
crowd surging about the colonel, and
although he fired at close range, his
aim was bad and he inflicted what Is
said to be only a minor wound.
Immediately after the shot was
fired members OF the Roosevelt party
sprang upon the man who had fired
the shot and who was endeavoring to
stink back into the crowd.
Henry F. Cochems, the former foot.
ball star who was close TO the
colonel, tore his way into the crowd
and crushed the assailant to the pave
ment. 1t required the services of four
policemen to keep the man from being
dealt with summarily by the crowd.
The colonel was at first supposed to
have escaped uninjured, for after a
momentary start he smiled and putting
his hand under his coat for a minute
was seen to vince for an instant, and
then he moved forward, stepped into
an automobile, spoke a word to his
associates and in another instant the
auto was whirling away toward the
Auditorium.
The fact that he had left for the
Auditorium gave every reason to be-
lieye that he had been unhurt. When
he rose to speak at the Auditorium,
however the colonel said:
AN attempt has just been made to
kill me. | am carrying the bullet in
my body now, and so | will have to cut
my speech short" He repeated this
statement repeatedly during the meet
ing.
That Colonel Roosevelt was shot
was seen by the crowd in the Audi
torium when his white vest was seen
to be streaked with blood which was
oozing from the wound just over his
heart.
a written proclamation found in the
clothing of the man who did the shoot
ing reads:
September 10, 1901, 1870 a. M. In
dream | saw President Mckinley
sit up in a monks attire in whom
recognized Theodore Roosevelt. The
president said: This is my murderer,
avenge my death
September u, 1912, 1880 a. m,
while writing a poem someone tapped
me on the shoulder and said: Let not
a murderer take the presidential chair.
Avenge my death. ! could plainly
see Mr.. McKinley's features. Before
the almighty God | swear this above
writing is nothing but the truth"
Another note found in the mans
pocket reads:
$50 long as Japan could rise to the
greatest power OF the world despite
her surviving a tradition more than
1000 years old as General Nogi so
nobly demonstrated, it is the duty Of
the United States Of America to up
hold the third term tradition Let
every third termer be regarded as a
traitor to the American cause Let it
be the right and duty of every citizen
to forcibly remove a third termer.
Never let a third term party emblem
appear on the official ballot
81 am willing to die for my coun-
try. God has called me to be His in
strument, so help me God.
