that the colonel will make no more
speeches during the campaign unless
unforeseen conditions again thrust him
onto the platform.
X-Ray Photos Taken
The ex-ray plates which formed the
subject of consultation between DR..
Murphy and DR.. Bevan showed the
course Of the bullet not to have taken
a dangerous direction unless the last
series of plates should show it to have
entered the thoratic cavity. The wound
is y the right breast, an inch above
the nipple. The course of the bullet
appears to be down and toward the
breast bone.
!, A number of conflicting bulletins
have been issued from the hospital
since the shooting. The following
gives some idea of the Ex-presidenta
condition.
Chicago, Oct. 16. -"Roosevelt's
wound is not a mere flesh wound, but
a serious wound in the chest" said
a bulletin issued in the afternoon by
the attending physicians. The bulletin
said the examination at p. m. show
ed temperature Of s9.8; pulse, %;
respiration, normal. It pains him to
breathe. He must have absolute
quiet, must cease talking. It is not
a mere flesh wound, but a serious
wound in the chest. Quiet is abso-
lutely essential.

SMALL WRECK SUNDAY

The eastbound passenger train due
here at 1885 was delayed two hours
Sunday by small freight wreck .
mile west Of the city. Three box cars
of westbound freight were derailed,
blocking the track for time. The
cars derailed were about the center

trouble was experienced in pulling
them back on the track. Aside from
the delay of the passenger train no

GRIFFIN LAST WEEK IS HELD
ON MURDER CHARGE

The second chapter in the shooting
scrape Of last week, which cost one
man his life, was written Friday when
James Fowler, the man who did the
shooting, was arranged before JUS
tice A. ]. Field for a preliminary hear
ing.
States Attorney, H. w. Braatelien,
appeared for the state and introduced
three witnesses who testifid that they
were eye witnesses to the shooting.
They also testified as to circumstances
leading up to the shooting, which were
substantially the same as given in this
paper last week. The charge Of first
degree murder placed against Fowler
was sustained and he was sent to jail
to await the action of the grand jury
at the December term of court. The
accused man had little to say regard
ing the affair.
VIM. Griffin, the victim of the shoot
ing, stated that he had family liv-
ing in Superior, Wis. Attorney Braa-
telien has been in communication with
one of the daughters Of the dead man,
who has asked for particulars of her
fathers death. He is also trying to
locate claim which Griffin is said to
have owned, but so far has been un-
able to do so. The states attorney

daughters states in letter that they
heard little from their father during
the past few years and that he had not
provided support for the family. Lit
tie is also known about Fowler, except
that he is q French Italian, and he
has said little since the shooting.

An attempt upon the life Of Ex-
President Theodore Roosevelt waa
made by fanatic at Milwaukee, Wis
ccnsin, Monday evening. While stand
ing in the lobby Of the Gilpatrick
hotel few moments prior to leaving
for the auditorium, where he was to
deliver a campaign address, Colonel
Roosevelt, the progressive candidate
for president of the United States,
was shot and seriously wounded by
John Schrank of New York City.
The shooting occurred at about $3.50
o'clock while the lobby of the Gill
patrick hotel was crowded with visit
ors who had come to catch q glimpse
of Colonel Roosevelt. He was con-
stantly surrounded by friends and ad-
mirers who were seeking to grasp his
hand or extend him some word of
greeting. Suddenly, without any warn
ing, . shot rang out and the Colonel
fell back wounded. He was surround
ed at once by members Of the Roose-
welt party and taken to his room,
where medical attention was given.
In the meantime Schrang has been ar
rested and was taken to Jail. His ad-
dress is given $40 East 10th street,
New York.
Owes Life to Paper
Colonel Roosevelt probably owes his
life to the fact that he was holding
the manuscript Of his speech in his
hand when hs WAS shot. The bullet
struck the manuscript which broke its
force and in all probability caused its
course to deviate slightly. He insist
ed on making his speech and as he did
not appear to be suffering and q hasty
examination led the other members of
the party to believe that it was only a
flesh wound, they acceded to his
wishes and he was escorted at once to
the auditorium, where he made his
speech as though nothing had happen
ed.
Immediately after he was through
a second examination Of the wound
was made and it's seriousness was
realized at once. The colonel was
rushed at once to Chicago Mercy hos
pital where he was given the atten-
ton Of four Of the most noted sur
geons in the United States.
