THREE Of CH|CAGO'S FOREMOST
PHYSICIANS IN ATTENDANCE
At C0L0NEL'S BEDSIDE
The Remaining Bullets of Would-be
AsSaSSain'S Revolver to be Ex-
amined by Chemists. 1t is Feared
Poisonous Charges Were Used.

Reports to-day are to the effect
that the condition OF Colonel Roose-
welt is about the same to-day as re-
ported yesterday afternoon 1t mas
been determined that the first report
OF the attempted assassination had
been suppressed as to the serious
ness of the wound. 1t was first CIV
en- out that there was but s1ght
laceration on the shoulder when IN
fact the hurt was a deep bullet
wound Of the right chest wall but
without striking any vital organ III
transit. The wound has not been
probcd. the Colonies condition for
bidding the attempt, but the bullet
has been located through an A-kay
examination. The point OF entrance
was 70 the right Of and one inch be
low the level OF the right nipple.
The range OF the bullet was upward
and inward. distance OF tour inches
on the chest wall There is no evil
dence OF the bullet having pierced
the lung. It is stated also that had
the wound been on the left instead
of the right side it would have bee"
fatal.
Three of Chicago's most eminent
physicians are in attendance ana
state that in their opinion the chief
danger lies in the formation OF pus
in the chest, cavity, but as the bulie'
did not penetrate that far this dan
ger is almost obviated. The physi-
clans are hopeful for the best but the
wound is of so important and serious
nature that absolute rest Tor
number OF days is strictly demanded
Large crowds gathered in front o'
the hospital to-day as they did yc--

and forth announced Roosevelts con-

dition no demonstration was MADE
but subdued murmurs were heard as
the messengers made their announce
,nents.
Managers for Conolel Roosevel,
hav, announced that all plans for
continuing his campaign have been
Cancelled, even his private car, which
be has used since the start OF his trip
has been released, and all future
plans depend upon his condition.
Medical men in attendance state
that in case no complications arise
he will be able TO leave the hospital
within twelve or fifteen days
Mrs. Roosevelt, wife OF the ex-
President arrived at the Mercy Hos
pital to-day and will remain in close
communication until all danger has
passed and until after an attempt has
been made to release the bullet.
No attempt was made to-day to
probe for the leaden missile or try to
take il from its resting place. the
Colonel's condition forbidding any
attempt at this operation. The ply
sicians state that the bullet is i'll
safe place and can in itself do no
/ harm now.
Judge n Neelan of the District
Court. before whom arraignment OF
John Schrank. the would-be assassin.
took place. ordered Professor +. w.
Somer. head Of the chemical depart
ment Of Marquette University. to
make a chemical test of the bullets
remaining in the revolver used. 1t
is now feared that the bullets had
been poisoned and II such be the case
it is admitted that the chances for
Roosevet's recovery is extremely
doubtful. as the almost fatal effect
OF the poisoned lead is liable to set
in at any time and rapidly develop.

Yesterday morning in this city at
the home of Mrs McPhcarson Miss
Betsy Barber, one Of the old-tme
residents Of Carson Valley and well
known in this city, passed away after

been in this city the past few months

her death was not unexpected, owing
10 her age and the ravages OF disease
Miss Betsy Barber (colored) was
one of the pioneer, OF Carson valley

the early days of this section and al
were highly respected by all VINO
knew them

would have carried clear through the
battle. the same expression of sent
! nlent carrying weight in this case
as in the Clerkship fight Prior to
! the primaries his friends endeavored
to have him announce himself on the
| Democratic ticket. but were not sue
cessful
Mr. Grow is willing to make ex-
plantations to all his reasons for COM
| ing out as an independent and not as
a regular party man, and to those
who understand the situation his ex
planation is plausible, but whether
he can cover enough territory to ov-
ercome the number of votes lost by
the natural and growing antipathy to
an independent candidate for an i'm
portoant office, remains to be seen
when the votes are counted.
JOE STERN
On the other hand. and in variance
with the other two candidates, Joe
Stern is the same as ever, stand
pat Republican, and will win or lose
with the force of that party behind
him. with many Democrats and 9th
ers to help out. Joe is regarded as
the "old reliable" on the job all the
time, seven days a week and more if
necessary.
His natural and acquired qualiica-
Itions for the position is one of the
main features that is giving him
strength and favor in this campaign.
His connection with the Recorders
Office in which he has made most
efficient. accommodating and reliable
public servant. has in many ways es
pecially fitted him for the Sherlff's
and Assessors office, placing him in
|close touch with the clerical end of
the latter Office.
Mr.. Stern is making quiet, gen
tlemanly campaign and hopes To
have tallies enough on election day
to transfer him down stairs to the
Sheriff's Office, and from the looks Of
the situation at present that is where
he will land. His good. clean rec
ord is going to get him many votes
and he has many friends who are his
friends just because he is pretty
nearly always right on an official o.
any other proposition.
efficient officer as is to his credit in
his present position. and another
important thing that may be depend
ed on he himself. will be the Sheriff,
not being bound to any other person
or clique, to say I. yes or no.

he Appeal last eVenn" opened a
series OF political dissertations and
from the words of commentator
that have come into the Office in per
son and over the telephone, the first
shot seems to have met with marked
Clerkship fight as that seems to be
attracting the most attention just at
present and is rated as the most i'm
portant county office The lesser
lights will come in for theirs as the
time comes.
Next in importance is the office of
Sheriff and Assessor. This fight is
practically the same politically as
that of the Clerkship. 1t is also a
threesided fight and three men want
to be Sheriff when it is only possible
for one to be elected and it is up to
the voters to decide who will attend
to the peoples interests in this office
for the next two years.
As the Democrats have no candi-
date for this office The Appeal is at
perfect liberty to espouse the cause
OF any of the candidates now before
the voters and will endeavor to see
that the man whom it thinks the best
for the Office and the interests Of the
people is elected, not being bound by
party or any other reason to support
any one in particular.
H. N. BLACKIE
H. n Blackie is the Progressive
candidate for the office AMI is of the
opinion at the present time that his
chances are good He has a feature
in a progressive mode of taxation
and fixing property values and has
a large number of friends who would
Ike to see him win out and if his
party stands by him in force he
should make good run, If he is
making any personal fight for the Of
flee he is doing it in quiet way and
but little is heard of his candidacy,
the main issue seemingly heing CEN
tered on the other two candidates
and when the contest is mentioned
out loud one would think that there
are only two candidates on the job.
p. M. CROW
Pete Crow is the. independent can
ddate for the position. and the job
probably looks easier to him than
hammering iron. Fvere since Pe,e
has been old enough to realize what

RO0Sevelt'S Condition
Is Considered Serious

*<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
There was a rumor this af-
ternoon that the condition of
Roosevelt had suddenly taken
a decided change for the worse
and that he was in decidedly
prscarious condition. Later it
was announced from Reno vo-
er the wires that he had rallied
and showed much improve
nent and was suffering but lit
tie pain, in fact none at all in
the location of the bullet or
around the wound but that he
had slight pains in the right
side below the wound.
A report received from Re-
no at o'clock this afternoon
was to the effect that the Col
onel was about the same as
yesterday. showing signs of be-
ing better, if anything, and
was normal in every way.
