THE WOUND SERIOUS.

CHICAGO, Oct. Is. COL Roosevelt was
not merely specifically wounded by the
bullet fired into his breast yesterday in
Milwaukee by John Schrank, it was de-
termined tonight by surgeons after all
day examinations and consultations, and
the colonel must not see or speak to any,
one for several days without permission
of the doctors.
The wound was definitely described as
"a serious wound in the chest'' and mot
mere flesh wound" The late bulletin
which prohibited communication between
the colonel and others than the attend
ants declared that "quietude is absolute
ly essential.
The physicians assert, however, that
it was not yet necessary to probe for the
bullet and the patient probably will be
kept as calm as his nature will allow him
for few days.
Col. Roosevelt slept we'll at intervals
during the day, ate ravenously of articles
customarily making up his bill of fare,
read lengthy extracts from Macaulay
and limited to his physician that he would
not object to ride in the fresh air.
