NEWS CAST GLOOM
OVER THIS CITY

The news of the shooting of
Roosevelt leaked out here in
vague sort of way at "a late hour en-
Monday night and had gained con-
siderable circulation when the peo-
pie began to appear on the street
Tuesday morning. 1t was at first
reported that Roosevelt had been
killed which caused a sort of pail
to come over the community thru
out the business section of the town.
Upon first hearing the news many
refused to believe it, but it soon be-
came the established fact.
Nothing authentic in regards to
the matter could be learned until
the Pilot got a Spokane report
regarding the shooting, which was
printed as a supplement to the Pilot
and was distributed all over the
city. The sheet with it's meagre re-
port that was then obtainahle was
eagerly sought after and when it
was learned that Roosevelt had on
ly been slightly injured it brought
quite relief.

MARRIED
IN SALT LAKE

At last, w. N. Deeringer, the pop
ular travelling salesman for the Cud-
ahay Packing company, has been
engmlfed in the sea of matrimony
and tried to keep the matter a pro
found secret from his many friends
in this section Of the country. The
event took place in September away
down in Salt Lake, but some body
whispered and the news spread, like
ripples on placid sheet of water
until last week it reached KaliapeM.
Mr.. Deeringer was not at home at
the time SO it was the subject for
much discussion, but when Bill got
back he owned up that he was guil-
ty and that the other guilty party
is Mrs. Leila Cap, a Kalispell young
lady, the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. N. Noffsinger. She is now in
San Diego, Cal, where she will
spend the winter. It was intended
to keep the marriage secret until
spring.

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 14-Rcose-
velt was shot and slightly wounded
tonight as he left the hotel for the
Coliseum to make a speech. John
schrank, the would-be assassin
was seized and held until the police
arrived. Roosevelt went on to the
Coliseum after his assailant' 8 arrest.
The assassin admitted firing the shot
and said, Amy man looking for
third term ought to be shot. Notes
found in the mans pockets indicated
that he thought he had been visited
dn a dream by the spirit of Mckinley
which said, This is my murderer.
Avenge my DEATH"
Roosevelt calmed the audience at
the Coliseum assuring them he was
not seriously hurt. After the speech
he was taken to the hospital where
six physicians examined him. They
found 1T impossible to tell the depth
of the bullet and will use the X-ray.
Chicago, Oct. 15-Colomel Theo-
dOre Roosevelt, with a bullet, which
was fired at him at close range last
might by John Schrank, New York
laundryman, still in his chest, was
taken to Mercy hospital here today,
after a consultation of the physic-
ians. He rode in an ambulance and
walked slowly into the hospital,
leaning on the arm of DIR. Murphy.
The Colonel slept during the trip
from Milwaukee after he had been
shot while sitting in an automobile
outside the Gilpatrick hotel, as he
was starting to make his scheduled
speech. His refusal to cancel the
speech, the delivery of an address
that required an hour and half and
his walk to and from the motor car
In Milwaukee, all the time with the
bullet in the wound in the right
breast, was regarded by the physic-
ians as imprudent, but the Colonel
insisted upon having his own way,
and minimized the pain and the
wound.
The hero of the attempted assas-
sination was Elbert E. Martin, the
Colonel's stenographer. Martin was
waiting to get into the automobile
when Schrank who was within sew
en- feet of Roosevelt, leveled his gun
and fired once. An instant later
Martin leaped on him and hurled him
to the ground. He twisted his arm
around the assassin's neck and grap-
pied the revolver around the ham,
mer. Henry Ccchems, a special po-
licemen, wrenched the gun from

ARTHUR SCHNEIDER SHOT
WHILE DEER HUNTING

H. R. Schneider received the news
Monday morning that his brother
Arthur, who left here just a short
time ago, was accidently shot while
hunting deer in the Cascade noun
tains near Garcia, Wash. -
Arthur and his brother Charlie had
gone off on quite an extensive hunt
ing trip from Seattle. They We're
making a difficult climb over a. very
steep place in the mountains which
Arthur could not make. Charlie man
aged to make it and was going to
help pull his brother up. When do
ing this Arthur pulled his gun after
him and the hammer must have
caught en- a twig and then snapped
shut again exploding the shell in
the barrel. The bullet struck Arthur
glancing blow in the forehead and
fractured the skull. He fell back
stunned and rolled down the slope
of the mountain for quite a distance.
When Charlie get to him he was
unconscious. He tied up the wound
the best he could and then started
to drag and carry his brother for
a distance CT several miles down the
mountain to the railroad station.
After an almost superhuman effort
he set to the depot just in time to
catch the fast Milwaukee limited and
took him to a. hospital in Seattle,
where he is now reported getting
along nicely and will recover from
the injuries.

KINNEY OUT HUNTING
LOSES SELF IS RUMOR

A report is circulated that Mr..
Kinney who hands out lager at the
Mcknight bar in Kalispell was lost
In the mountains while hunting with
"a party OF friends, says the Kalis,pell
Bee.
( The report goes on to the effect
THAT Kinney and the party of which
otto Luffer Was a member, went
twelve miles west of Whitefish and
there encamped themselves for the
time being.
Later the party started out for
the hills and scattered out after the
game. They had set an appointed
time for the return and meeting but
failed to find Kinney. They went
out in search of him but did not see
anything of their friend until they
got back to Whitefish almost two
days later.
Kinney, according to the report
had been lost all the time and had
only arrived in Whitefish a short
time prior to his friends. He is
very quiet about the Incident and
the affair has leaked out against his
will, evidently. His friends think NO
less of him, however, and are glad
he got back.

PROVOKED ITALIAN
DOES SHOOTING
YOUNG MAN SHOT IN THE
NECK-INJURIES ARE NOT
SERIOUS

Oscar Carlson, a laborer employ
ed on the street work by Contractor
}. G. Little was shot in the neck
about midnight Saturday by an Ital-
ian named Mike Racanelli. The bull
let, % calibre entered the neck
just above the collar from the frcmt,
and far enough to one side so as
net to be dangerous land lodged in
the muscles CT the neck. The injur-
les are not serious at ALL Carlson
was taken to the hospital where HIS
wound was dressed and the Italian
who did the shooting fled and as
yet has not been apprehended.
Carlson and a number of other
fellow workers it is said were hav-
ing little "time' Saturday night,
and when three Italians passed
them on the street thought they
would have a little spcrt by poking
fun at them and tormenting them.
One of the Italians resented this,
whereupcn he pulled the gun from
his pocket and fired at the bunch,
striking Carlson.
The Italian who did the shooting
ducked out Immediately, but the
other two were captured and lodged
in Jail, but were later released.
Sheriff Ingraham was notified Of
the affair and came up from
Kalispell to investigate on the first
train Sunday morning. He covered
the country east and west with mes
sages giving description of the man
and he will probably be rounded
up.

10000 CARS
Of GRAIN
THE GREAT NORTHERN WILL.
HAUL OUT OF MONTANA
THIS YEAR,

Ten thousand carloads of grain
the Great Northern expects to haul
out of Montana this year, where
two years ago it hauled only $50
carloads, James j. Hill recently told
st. Paul business men at a banquet
he was attending.
Mr.. Hill was urging the impor-
1ance to Minnesota of the growing of
livestock. when attempting to show
them that livestock was essential to
a farm if crops would be good L was
held an enemy to No. hard wheat, ;"
he said.
Whether or not I am in error
when l insist that livestock should
be raised on every farm, may be
shown in an experiment of my own.
The Great Northern railroad about
three years ago sent Prof. Shaw for
merly of the University of Minnesota
school of agriculture, out to Mon
tana, to show the farmers there that
something besides sheep and cattle
could be raised there.
Two years ago the Great Month
ern railroad hauled $50 carloads of
grain from Montana. This year, it
Is estimated that the road will haul
10000 carloads of grain from Mon
tana,"

BIC: EXHIBIT
FOR MONTANA
AT THE NORTHWEST LAND PRO-
DUCTS SHOW TO BE HELD.
IN MINNEAPOLIS.

Montana will shine at the North
weet Land Products show, which is
ito be held in Minneapolis under the
auspices of the Northwest Develop
memt league. Nov. 12 to %, inclus-
i've. If the land products exhibits
OF the Treasure state do not carry
away the big prizes at Minneapolis
it will be no fault of the board Of
directors OF the Montana state fair
who are in charge of the state ex-
hibdt.
During the time the state fair was
in progress the directors made up
the bulk of the exhibit from Mont
ana which will be shown at Minnea-
polls, with the result that the best
of all displays which were shown at
Helena will be at the eastern land
show. Just what sort of an exhibit
that will be is easily understood by
those who saw the record breaking
display of grain and other agricul-
tural and horticultural products at
Helena.
The Montana exhibit is all ready
to be shipped east. The one thing
the directors are short en- is money.
There is no state appropriation to
cover the expenses of the Minnea-
polls exhibit, and the directors have
been forced to fall back upon the
counties as they did last year Each
county has been asked to donate
$3.50 towards defrayine the cost of
advertising Montana at Minneapolis,
and inasmuch as the exhibit which
will be shown will be representative
OF every section and county OF the
state, no fear is entertained but that
the commissioners OF the various
counties will act in the matter at
once.
The bumper crop throughout Mon
tana and the entire west and the re-
sulting assurance that next year will
see an uneQualled rush of home
seekers into the west, make It of
the utmost Importance that Montana
gets her share of advertising at the
Minneapolis land show, where all
the states of the northwest will be
fighting for the honors. The fair
directors are confident that if the
money to defray the expenses of
making the exhibit is forthcoming,
there will be no difficulty in Mon
tana's walking away with the big
prizes at the show and no doubt as
to the. vast and beneficial results
which will be derived from it, An
effort will be made to run a special
train of Montana boosters to Mime
apolis to be there on Montana
day."
