London, Oct 15-A Podgoritza dis
patch to the Daily Mail on Sunday
says the town of Schicerik was de-
molished by Montenegro guns and ESQ
Turks taken prisoners. The final
charge of the Montenegrins was SO flu
rious that the retreating Turks were
actually fired at with their abandoned
guns. The noted Macedonian leader,
Toder Lataroff, committed suicide be-
cause he could not go to war. He had
tuberculosis. The Montenegrins at
tackled the Turks at Shroka noun

killed or wounded.

capturing Byelopolye, one of the chief
towns of the province.
Byelopolye fell after prolonged fight
ing, but no information has been re-
ceived regarding the losses on both
sides. The Montenegrins have set up
there provisional government.
Montenegrins are now on their way
to SienitZa, thirty miles to the north
east of Byelopolye and close to the
Servian frontier, against which they
will direct second attack 1t is in
this direction that the Montenegrins
expect to join hands with the Servian
army when it advances from the north
According to Constantinople dis
patch to the Standard, Essad Pasha

ments. raising the garrison from 12,-
600 to 10000 men. If this news is true

task in capturing Scutari
Montenegrins have burned the Mus
sulman village of Krania, several chill
dren perishing in the flames The
fighting in that neighborhood is Wis
ible from Scutari
Late advices say fighting continues
around Berana. The Montenegrins ad-
vancing toward Gusinje, PLAYA and Ar
ona, on the southeastern frontier, are
encountering much resistance and los
ing heavily
Some fighting has occurred at Tu-
shi, where the Turks are displaying
great bravery. 1t is further reported

the police he was John Schrank or
$40 East Tenth street, New York. He
is young, apparently about 80 years
old.
It is evident from papers on his
person he has been trailing the col
onel for long wilhelm fact, he
had the colonel's itinerary written
on a sheet of note paper of south
ern hotel
The man is without doubt dement,
ed. Two insane 'proclamations'
were found on his person, in which
is set forth that it was his duty to
kill any man who aspired to third
term
Quick action on the part of by
ISLANDERS alone saved him from sud-
den and violent death
He was hustled to the police sta
ton, where he first refused to give
his name and reiterated time and
time again that he was justified in
killing the colonel and was sorry
that he had not done so.
He said that he had been trying
to get a chance to fire the shot that
would remove Roosevelt from the
world for long while, but had been
unable to get an opportunity.
Admitting his guilt in district
court to charge of assault with in
tent to kill and murder, and waving
preliminary examination, John
Schrank, would-be assassin of the
former president, was bound over to
municipal court for trial at the pres
ent term. Seeming wholly uncon-
scious of the danger of possible vio-
lence, Schrank refused the offer of a
speedy trial, made by Judge Neele
B. Neelen, with the answer: 81 have
plenty of time and am willing to let
my trial take it's regular course" The
procedure did not consume more
than a few moments, Schrank mere
ly repeating his statement that he
shot Roosevelt and waving prelimi-
nary examination. The prisoners
bail was fixed at $500, which he
was unable to furnish
he penalty CdltSu lOT ny law lOr
Schrank's crime is from one to fif-
teen years.
While the questioning was going
on the crowd began to gather up
around the bench. Before the depu-
ties noticed them there were several
scores of persons gathered close to
the prisoner. There was no violence
even suggested, for the crowd was
only a curious one. After the crowd
had been forced back to their seats
the prisoner was led back to the bull
pen. Here he sat alone, the other
prisoners crowding away from him
as one would from a snake.
The letter which was found on the
man who fired at the ex-president is
clearly the work of an unbalanced
mind. 1t is in a neat, careful hand
writing, but the misspelling of one
or two words shows that it was writ

other clothing, penetrated the body,
but how deeply is not known.
Despite the wound, despite the
blood that was flowing freely, the col
onel insisted on fulfilling his engage
ment with the people of Wisconsin.
H. F. Cochems introduced the col
onel and told the crowd what had
happened.
When the colonel arose to speak
there was tremendous cheering He
drew his manuscript from his coat
pocket and showed his audience
where the bullet had gone directly
through it.
He pointed out the bullet hole to
the crowd and said, "You see it takes
more than that to kill Bull Moose. "
AS the colonel opened his coat and
vest it was seen that almost the en-
cred with blood. He said that if it
had not been for the manuscript he
had in his pocket on that side he
would have been killed.
The colonel's physical strength,
however, was not equal to his cour-
age, and when half way through his
speech he had to stop.
Col. Roosevelt was taken to the
Emergency hospital, placed on the
operating table, and six physicians
made an examination of the wound
They found that the bullet had
30 nH
the first superficial examination led
them to believe, and all efforts to
locate it were futile.
Col. Roosevelt left here for Chi
ecago Monday night, arriving there
about $3.50 a. m. He was. taken at
once to Mercy hospital, where num-
Der OF prominent surgeons examined
mis- wounds. The doctors decided not
to extract the bullet for the present.
The exact location of the bullet was
not announced by the surgeons but it
was stated that the celebrated pa
tient was not in any danger, unless
blood poisoning sets in.
AS soon as he is able to leave Chi
cago Col. Roosevelt will be taken to
Oyster Bay. He will remain at home
ahere until he is completely mended
and will, take no active part in the
campaign.
The fact that his injury was such
that it would force him into retire
ment for some time was pointed out
to the colonel by the surgeons at the
hospital. They were emphatic in tell
ing him that to assure his complete
recovery he would have to remain
quiet for several weeks, and the
colonel reluctantly agreed, insisting at
the same time that he felt perfectly
lit" and could make a public speech
son Tuesday.
The man who fired the shot told

He maintains that Columbus was
born at Pontevedra, Galicia, Spain,
and not at Genoa, Italy.

documents to prove his contention,
