BITTER ATTACK ON HIlIES
Called Character Assassin" by MediH
Mccormick.

Washington, Oct. 19.-Medill Nc
Cormick OF Chicago stirred up a SEN
sation before the Clapp committee
when he read a prepared statement
touching upon the attempted assasst
nation Of Colonel Roosevelt, declaring
II had been invited by "falsehoods OF
character assassins and liars like
Charles d. Hilles."
at Is difficult for an ordinary man
In the compass Of ordinary language
to compete with the testimony of char
acter assassins and liars like Mr..
Hilles-men who, by their falsehoods.
incite weak minded men to actual as
destinations" was the passage which
brought out storm OF protest from
the committee. in which Chairman
Clapp joined
Mr.. Mccormick argued heatedly that
his statement was admissible as evi-
dence, while Senators Oliver and ClapD
declined to allow Mr.. Mccormick to
read and demanded that he withdraw
his words. The statement finally was
admitted to the record without being
read from the prepared copy.

Roosevelt Making Rapid Strides
Toward Recovery.
HOPES TO RESUME STUMP
Distinguished Hospital Patient Asserts
That He IL Feeling az Lively
as Bulldog"

Chicago, Oct. 19-The first vivid
Impressions Of Colonel Roosevelt on
the night on which he was shot down
In Milwaukee were related from the
colcners own lips. Apparently we'll
on the way toward recovery he was
permitted to enjoy a greater degree
Of freedom and for the first time he
gave an account of the happenings in
the first few hours after the bullet
found it's mark. The colonel said that
he expected to leave shortly for
Oyster Bay and hoped to be back in
the campaign making speeches again
In the week after next.
II feel as lively as a bulldog" said
the colonel. by way of preface. he
was sitting in huge leather chair by
window in Mrs. Roosevelts room
adjoining his own. He was wrapped
in blue bathrobe of Turkish towel
Ing, with a steamer rug thrown over
his feet to protect him from the au-
tumn breeze which was borne in
through the open window.
What seemed to impress Colonel
Roosevelt most strongly was not the
shooting itself-he seemed to accept
that as a thing OF the past to be dis
missed once it was over-but rather
his hour on the stage OF the Milwau-
kee Auditorium, when he was speak
ing with bullet in his side. But he
insisted that to make the speech was
only what any other man would have
done under the circumstances.
ut was nothing-nothing," he said.
II felt little pain, but it was not
severe. When / stretched out my
arm, or reached for my manuscript it
made me gasp a bit, but that was all.
Says Manuscript Amused Him.
cit was quite amusing" he went on,
"when | reached for my manuscript,
to see that it had hole in it from the
bullet; and there was a hole in my
spectacle case, too"
The colonel chuckled as he recalled
the surprise he had felt at his discov-
cry.
Amusing, did you say, colonel?"
asked one of his hearers.
WELL" he qualified, at was inter-
esting."
Colonel Roosevelt showed no indica-
ton that he had felt the fear of death.
He said he had no means Of knowing,
as he delivered the speech he had
promised to make, whether he was
wounded fatally, but accepted as a
matter OF course that he should go un-
til he had finished, If his strength held
out. But when it was all over and he
had turned away to go to the hospital,

he said, he found II difficult to keep
his temper when half a dozen men
scrambled over the edge OF the plat
form and asked him to shake hands.
They wanted to shake hands," he
said, as though 1t still surprised him
Didn't they know that IL Is impossi-
bic for man who has just been shot
to shake hands with genuine cordial
ity?"
or the shooting itself Colonel Roose-
welt had little to say. Not once did
he mention the name of John Schrank,
his assailant. He talked In an unemo-

he were discussing the case Of a man
with whom he was not acquainted.

DyNAMITER SENT UP
JUDGE SENTENCES HIS FOR
MER SCHOOLMATE
JAMES MC'ALEER TO JAIL
The Man Who Bought The
Dynamite Last Week Con-
fessed And Was Sentenced
To Six Months In The
Day County Jail

Circuit court for this county was in
session Tuesday Judge j. J. Carpenter,
of Lennon circuit, presiding for Judge
McNulty.
Several matters of probate came up
and were disposed of.
James McAleer, who purchased the
dynamite last week and was caught
with the goods upon him, entered a
plea of guilty and was sentenced to
six months in the Day county jail.
A strange feature of the case was
that the offender was a schoolmate of
the Judge who sentenced him to Jail and
each of them were very much moved at
the trying situation. The judge said
that McAleer comes from splendid
family and has brother in Water town
who was very fine fellow, but that
James had just got off on the wrong
road. He was very lenient with him
as it was the first time he had been
before court. The prisoner was very
penitent and shed copious tears and it
was the opinion of all present in the
court at the time that he was a young
man who had been led astray by bad
companions and if give, an easy SEN
tence this time he would come out and
live an honorable and upright life.
The prisoner told Inspector Collier, of
the UnitedStates postoffice department,
that there was maintained in Aberdeen
fence where stamps stolen from post
offices and other property was disposed
of. AS there had been no post office
robbery in this vicinity and the inspector
was not authorized to give any reward,
the information was not disclosed.
the other two men who were held as
suspects nothing could be found against
other than that they were seen in COM
pany with McAleer and he gave no evil
dence againt them and SO they were
dismissed.

SHOT BY ACCIDENT
CASPER BENDICKSON THE
VICTIM OF HUNTING TRIP
GUN IN SEAT EXPLODES
Full Charge of Shot Takes
Effect Just Below Hip-Acci-
dent Happened Sunday
Patient Now In The
City Hospital

Last Sunday morning Carl Bendick
son, son of Carl Bendickson, and two
other boys started out for days out
ing. The boys went to a slough near
Buffalo lake and finding no shooting
started for other game places. When
they got in the buggy the two friends
whose names we did not learn-got
in the front seat and also put in dog
with them. Casper got in the back
seat and after driving some distance
got up to point out place to drive to.
When he made motions the dog got up
and in some manner pressed against
one of the guns, which had been put in
the buggy loaded and it was discharged.
The load went through the cushions of
the seat and took effect in Casper's
leg just below the hip. His COM
panions Immediately summoned John
Palm with his automobile and the
young man was brought to this city
and placed under the care of DR.. P. d.
Peabody. The doctor informs us that
it was most ugly wound filled with
gun wads and backing from the buggy
Sc at and it was miraculous how the
young man survived the trip to Web
ster. The wound was dressed and the
patient is doing fine at this time and
unless some complications set in will
be out and around in a few week s
again.
Moral-There is no place in buggy
or wagon for loaded gun.
