sassfnation of Colonel Roosevelt. The
president was at banquet which
Mayor Gaynor was giving to the pres
fdent, members of his cabinet, 600
naval officers and several distin-
guished citizens, when The news was
communicated to him.
1t was evident that the report fell
upon the presidents ears as great
blow. He was talking with Mayor
the ncwg sat silent for several min
utes. He declined at first to make any
statement, apparently being reluctant
TO credit the report.
Later ag the news was confirmed the
president gaid TO the newspaper men:
Il am very CORY to learn of the as
sault upon Colonel Roosevelt and am
glad to learn no harm was done.'
At the time the president made this
statement bulletins from Milwaukee
gave the assurance that Colonel Roose-
welt had sustained practically no IN
Jury. Tho speakers at tho dinner
avoided reference to the reports. but
the news had soon spread to all and
there was SO much discussion of the
reports that little attention was given
to the speakers.
Governor Wilson was at his home at
Princeton. n. j., when newspupermen
advised him of the attempt to kill the
Progressive candidate for president.

Dry Farmers plan Flour MIN.

Meeker.-For the first time in the
local market has proved too limited to
handle the immense crops OF wheat.
rye and barley raised here this year,
and as dozens of the ranchers of the
valley now have practically all of their
grain on hand, It has been determined
by the dry farmers to market their
product on the outside hereafter. They
will construct a mill, to be run on a
cooperative basis, the primary idea
being to mill the wheat at the least
possible cost and then get it to a mar
ket where the price paid will be suf-
ficient to permit a profit.

According to latest accounts the bull

and the wound is not serious.
The would-be murderer was John
Schrank. of New York City, a man ap-
parently demented on the subject of

locked up.
Unconscious of the wound. Colonel
Roosevelt proceeded to the auditori-
um, and when his condition was dis
covered, in spite of the protest of his
physician, he made a stirring ad-
dress on the subject of his attempted
murder.
Weakened from loss of blood and
at the conclusion OF his speech he was
taken to the Emergency hospital,
where. after an examination by ply
sicians, the nature of his wound was
ascertained.
1t was not considered serious
enough to compel a stay in Milwau-
kee, and at 1880 a. m. he was taken
aboard his special train on a slow run
to this city.
The colonel announced that he
would spend the night on the train
and after few hours here would go
to indianapolis to fulfill his engage
ment there. 1t was expected that he
would be left in his car until o'clock.
Tentative arrangements were made
here to take him to the Presbyterian
hospital If it was deemed advisable.
