Thomas Cooper, secretary OF the
North Dakota Better Farming associa-
ton, has returned from Minneapolis
where he attended meeting in the
lz.-crest Of the association. Last
week he was UP in the northern part
Of the state and said that everything
in the threshing line was moving along
nicely.
The threshing of small grain is
practically over, with the exception of
flax. In some places there is con-
siderable of this uncut. Some of the
flax has been damaged by the frost,
but not sufficiently to prevent lin
seed oil from being made of it,
Grain Gets Lower Grade.
From what I could learn there is
q great deal of the small grain, such
as wheat, barley, oats, ETC.. that has
been damaged to such an extent that
1t will be given second grade. There
Is, some, too, that will be given third
grade, and I heard of some cases
where it was refused entirely. / think
that in my section another two weeks
viii see all or the work done. The
farmers are bnsEay engaged in plow-
ing that section Of the state. as well
as all over,
Is Nearly Through,
'In the eastern part of the state
the threshing is practically through,
with, OF course. some flax yet to be
threshed In the central part of the
state the work is well along and the
yield has been all that could be ex-
pected. In the southwestern section
! have been informed that fully rs
per cent has been threshed and in this
section none of the grain is damaged
to any considerable extent. On the
whole, the state has been very for
tunate, considering the very ugly, wet
weather that continued so long during
the harvest period, and / believe the
people have something to be thankful

leaped owe the a a second after
the bullet sped on its way. Colonel
Roosevelt barely moved as the shot
was fired. Before the crowd knew
what had happened, Martin, who is
six feet tall and a former football
player, had landed %squarely on the
mans neck with a death-like grip
and with the left arm, seized the
hand that had held the revolver.
In another second he had disarmed
him.
Martin picked the man up as
though he were a child, and carried
him the few feet which separated
them from the car, almost to the
side of the colonel.
Here he is" said Martin, look
at him, colonel"
All this happened within a few
seconds and Colonel Roosevelt stood
gazing rather curiously at the man
who had attempted his life, before
the stunned crowd realized what
was going on. Then a howl of rage
went up.
Lynch him. kill him." cried a
hundred men. 1t seemed for the mo-
ment that the assassin would be torn
to pieces by the crowd, and it was
Colonel Roosevelt himself who inter
fered on behalf of the man.
He raised his hand and motioned
imperiously to the crowd to fall
back.
stop, stop" he cried; stand
back. don't hurt him."
The crowd at first was not dis
posed to heed him, but at length
fell back and permitted Martin and
Captain Girard to carry the nan in
to the hotel. After a short struggle
the assassin gave up and was carried

and the lower rib.
While he was waiting, oolohei
Roosevelt sat up on the operating Ia
BILE and talked politics and Joked
with the physicians.
The exact location of the bullet
was not determined until an Array
photograph was taken of the wound,
following his removal to the Mercy
hospital in Chicago.
Roosevelt's assailant is Johh
Shrank. a young man formerly oil
New York, and who according TO
his own statement has followed MS
intended victim for some time, with
the intention of killing him. Schrank
claims TO have been prompted to DO
the shooting by a vision, and while
the man is evidently not a confirmed
maniac, he Is of a weak and morbid
mentality of the dangerous crank
type. Following mrs arrest II ar
raignment, he was held for trial at
Milwaukee, but the case will not be
called until after the general cleo
ton lex month according to a state
ment of Winfred C. label, states at

Schrank has denied the report
that he has been a socialist, altho
he is said to have been al admirer
of Herr Most. the anarchist. After

island, New York, a few years ago
Schrank became his open disciple.

Attempted MURDER OF
THEODORE ROOSEVELT

Colonel Roosevelt's life probably
was saved by the manuscript of his
speech which he delivered following
the attempt on his life. The bullet
struck the manuscript which retard-
ed its force as it passed through
into the flesh.
The shooting took place in the
street in front of the hotel Gilpa-
trick.
After dinner Colonel Roosevelt
shortly before s o'clock started for
the auditorium. His automobile
stood in front of the door and about
1t was crowded several hundred per-
sons.
With the colonel were Philip
Roosevelt, a young cousin, Mr.. Coch-
ems, Albert H. Martin, one of his sec
retaries, and Captain Grad. The
crowd pressed close about the colonel
as he stepped into the car.
Martin entered directly behind
him and sat on the further side of
the car.
Colonel Roosevelt stood up, a
ing his hat in nswer to the cheers
of the crowd. The assassin was
standing in the crowd a few feet
from the automobile. He pushed his
way to the side of the car and rails
ing his gun fired.
Martin caught the flash of the re-
volver as the shot was fired, and
