Onel insisted on fulfilling his engage
ment with the people of Wisconsin.
H. F. Cochems introduced the col
Onel and told the crowd what had
happened.
When the colonel arose to speak
there was tremendous cheering. He
drew his manuscript from his coat
pocket and showed his audience
where the bullet had gone directly
through it.
He pointed out the bullet hole to
the crowd and said, You see it takes
more than that to kill Bull Moose. ="
AS the colonel opened his coat and
vest it was seen that almost the en-
tire right side of his shirt was COW
cred with blood He said that if it
had not been for the manuscript he
had in his pocket on that side he
would have been killed.
The colonel's physical strength,
age, and when half way through his
speech he had to stop.
Col. Roosevelt was taken to the
Emergency hospital, placed on the
operating table, and six physicians
made an examination of the wound.
They found that the bullet had
penetrated much. more deeply than
the first superficial examination led
them to believe, and all efforts to
locate it were futile.
Col. Roosevelt left here for Chi
cago Monday night, arriving there
about $3.50 a m He was taken at
once to Mercy hospital, where num-
Der of prominent surgeons examined
his wounds. The doctors decided not
to extract the bullet for the present.
The exact location of the bullet was
not announced by the surgeons but it
was stated that the celebrated pa
tient was not in any danger, unless
blood poisoning sets in
As soon as he is able to leave Chi
cago Col Roosevelt will be taken to
Oyster Bay. He will remain at home
there until he is completely mended
and will take no active part in the
campaign.
The fact that his injury was such
that it would force him into retire
ment for some time was pointed out
to the colonel by the surgeons at the
hospital. They were emphatic in tell
ing him that to assure his complete
recovery he would have to remain
quiet for several weeks, and the
colonel reluctantly agreed, insisting at
the same time that he felt perfectly
fit" and could make a public speech
on Tuesday.
