Attempt Made to ASSaS-
Sinate Roosevelt
His life was probably saved
by Manuscript of speech
he was to deliver as Bull
let Struck Papers
Colonel Did not know he was
Shot until Attention was
called to hole in coat;
shirt Blood Soaked

Milwaukee, Wis. Oct, IA.
Theodore Roosevelt was shot and
slightly wounded tonight as he
was leaving the Gllpatrick hotel
for the coliseum to make a
speech. The wound was a
superficial one, and the
colonel went on and begin his
speech after he had seen the
Would-be assassin arrested and
taken to the police station.
Henry F. Cochems seized the
assassin and held him until the
policemen came up. A mob surg
ed around the man. who apparent
ly is radical on the subject of
Roosevelt's S running for another
term. He is man of small stature
and admitted firing the shot. He
said:
ANY man looking for a third
term ought to be shot. =
In notes found in his pockets
at the police station were state
ments that the man had been
visited in a dream by the spirit
of William Mckinley, who had
said, Indicating Roosevelt, This
is my murderer; avenge my
death. !"
Roosevelt was taken to an emer-
gency hospital, His life was pro-
badly savel by the Manuscript Of
a speech which he delivered to-
night. The bullet struck the pap
ers, which retarded it's force as
it penetrated the flesh.
The assassin was prevented from
firing again by A. H. Martin, one
of Roosevelt's S secretaries. Roose-
had just stepped into an automo-
bile, when a man pushed his way
through the crowd and fired.
Martin, who was standing in the
car, leapedto assassin s shoulders
and bore him to the ground. The
colonel felt no pain at the time
of the shot and was not aware
that he had been wounded until
on the way to the auditorium.
attention was then called to a
hole in his overcoat, and it was
found that his shirt was soaked
with blood. He insisted he. was
not hurt badly.
A superficial examination of
the wound was made when he
reached the auditorium and three
physicians agreed there was no
Immediate danger.

Fair Postponed
There will be no Graham
County Fair Until the
Year 1913.

On account of lack of interest
on the part of the people gener-
ally, the Fair Commission has
found it necessary to postpone
the Graham county fair until next
year.
Of course this will prove a bit
ter disappointment to a large
number of people who were pre-
pairing exhibits, but the situation
was canvassed thoroughly by the
commission, and they decided it
was best not to attempt to hold
= fair this year. Guardian.

Arizona Against Entire
World Says 10
More Real Energy and Push
Than any Other State
in the Union

Arizona against the world.
There is more real energy and
push in Arizona than any other
state IN the union despite the
fact that it. is supposed to be
quiet here in the SUNNI err, said
10 Connors, editor of who's
Who in Arizona, > who has just
returned from trip to the nor
thern part of the state, he having
also taken a trip, over into New
Mexico while away.
Throughout the northern
part of the state there was never
such a good feeling as at present,
especially among the cattle and
sheep men. In Coconino the lum-
Der men are wearing a broad
smile. Their orders for lumber
from the south, where the build
ing is brisk, has made such de-
mand it is necessary to keep the
mills working nights to supply
the demand, and the box factor
les are being worked to the full
est capacity to meet the call fer
boxes to ship the fruits of Ari-
zona to the eastern markets. In
Verde valley are found peaches
which in New York would be
the craze, and there is no end to
the territory in which they can
be grown. There seems to be q.
slight depression in the mining
development of the north, es-
pecially in Yavapai and Mohavc.
However as a whole the northern
portion of Arizona is blooming
like a rose and the prosperity II
the section cannot for, a momer
be doubted.

A GOOD ROAD.

Ir tlllbf tl lUr W lllltlnfSr Star, in wriIin" about and hnost- ing for good roads in the north, says:
 '"Thr record breaking run made by the White Pass automo- bile last Friday, from CarmacS tO WhitchnrSr. a distance of one hundred and ihirty-tWO miles in eleven hours. is proof nf what could be done with a good trail. While the distance covered av- rragcd only twelve miles per hour, it was fully twice as fast as horse stage could have made 1t at this season of the year and, with the road in proper condi- lion, the auto would cover twcn- ty miles as easily as twelve per hour"
 When the people of Fairbanks began an agitation for an auto mobile road from that city to the coast, many of the interior pa pers began pohooing the idea and suggesting that tine Panama town was tryng to get all the road ap- prOpriatiOnS to be expended in the territory, forgetting that the road between Valdez and Fair banks is the trunk line over which practically all passengers and freight must pass to get in or out of the Yukon basin, and hence the better the road the quicker and the cheaper both passengers and freight could be transported for that distance.
 With an appropriation of ap- prOximately five thousand dol lars mile the government road could be made into a fair high way for automobile travel, a route over which from fifteen to twen- ty miles an hour could be cas- lily and safely made. in either winter or summer. With such a route the distance between the OOutsidG and the Panama me- trop0liS would be easily shortened by almost "nc-half in time. In that case the mail. instead uf taking the slow and tedious route up the long and winding Yukon, would br on salt water in two days. leaving lu the riN"r ihe handling of heavy and slow GrriGhiS.
 The rapid and proper develop mrnt of all that interior roun- try, lying Sonulh of the Yukon, will never cnlr to pass until such q system of roads are built. We are mol alone in seeing the nrc- "SSiiy of good roads: m other question i$ "rrupyinG half the attention of Inc people of Inc states as god roads. This iS not nu"s of pleasure alone: the farm CT iS equally HS well interested sine" h" has learned of ihc bur d6n placed upon him h poor roads.
 We. who ar" Sn NIIally inter- "si"d. should make a united cf- fort l." IItI" rongr"sS make q sufficient appInprial ion Iu mako the military road passahlr fnI both freight and paSSrn@cr auto mobiles at q fair rate uf speed. In doing lhis WI will have ac- cOmplisll"d great work in the advancement of the irrriInry'S S good.
