Colonel Roosevelt was shot In the breast by a would-be assassin as be entered the automobile in front of _.0he Hotel Gilpatrlck at Milwaukee, Wls., to start for an auditorium, where he was to speak Monday night. He insisted on going to the hall, there quieted the crowd that heard he had been shot, spoke from K:;io until 8:45 o'clock, though apparently weak, and then was taken to. an emergency hospital. Col. Roosevelt's life probably was saved by a manuscript of the sp*e< h which he delivered. The bullet struck the manuscript, which retard ed its force as it passed through into the flesh. His assailant was pre vented from firing a eecood shot by Albert H. Martin, one of Col. Roose velt's two secretaries. Col. Roosevelt had just stepped in to an automobile when the would-ho assassin pushed his way through tin- crowd In the Street and tired Mar tin, who was standing In the ear with the Colonel, leaped onto the man's shoulders and bore him to the ground, ('apt. A. <) Girard, of Mil waukee, who was on the front seat, jumped almost at the same time, and In an instant the man was overpower ed and disaimed. A wild cry of "lynch him" went Up. Col. Roosevelt spoke to ttie peo ple and told them to spare trie man, who then was taken into tin- hotel and held there until he was removed to the police station. In spite of the entreaties of phvsieians. Col Koo-t velt insisted upon delivering his a! dress.

They had driven hardly one of the four blocks from the hotel to the ku- dltorlum when John McGarth. anoth er of Col. Roosevelt's secretaries, ut tered a sharp exclamation and point ed to the Colonel's hrest. "lx)ok, Colonel,” ho said, "there Is a hoie In your overcoat.” Col. Roosevelt looked lown, saw the hole, then unbuttoned the big, blown army coat, which he was wear ing, and thrust his hand beneath it. \Vhen he withdrew it his fingers were stained with blood. Col. Roosevelt was not dismayed b> his discovery. "It looks ns though I have been hit," he said, “but 1 don't think It is anything serious.” Dr. Si urrey Terrell of Dallas, Tex., Col. Roosevelt's physician, who had entered the automobile Just before it started off, insisted tlull the (Joi nt el return to the .jiotel. He ’paid ne attention to the- suggestion, as soon as tln-y reached the building Col. Roosevelt Wiis taken Into a dressing room. Dr. Terrell with the help of two other doctors who were in the audi torium came to the dressing room on a call from th<- platform and made a superficial examination. They agreed it wu^h impossible to hazard a guess as NT the extent of the Colonel's In- jn/ies and that he should by all means go at once to a hospital. "I will deliver this speech or die, one or the oluer,'’ was Col. Roose- v< It's reply. A large crowd packed Into the big building and rhrrrcrt inndty as fie en tered and without a word to Indicate what had happened went to his seat I'or several minutes the crowd, no luitli of whom suspected that the Col- ot -1 bore a bullet m his body, kept up its elie- ring Then.

In publishing the letter the Gazette says It believes that It will prove of great interest to Long's friends in Gaston County, N. C. Here is Long's letter to the Gazette: Columbia, S. C. The Gazette, Gastonia, N. C. My Dear Sirs: Please excuse me for not answering your telegram to me at Aiken. I have had an experi ence that surpasses many of the sto ries, hut it is too long to tell unless 1 had the time and a good typewrit er, and my typewriter was torn up by the druken mob. 1 do not care to make a statement for publication other than to say that I have done only that which saved my own life. H is much better for my defense than the public yet knows. I will give bond in a few days and take a trip to North Carolina. I was so worried by all kinds of callers in Aiken who wanted to see me from curiosity, wanted to give me money, cigars, etc , That I decided to come to the peni tentiary night before last. I have the friendship and sympa thy of probably 77) to bu per cent, of the best people of Aiken county, and the mob was a drunken crowd incited by eight or ten men who led them. I don't care for any newspaper article <>n the subject, only you may assure my friends in Gaston County that 1 am all right now and will not be sub jected to any punishment for the kill ing and that I will be a member of the next South Carolina legislature I appreciate the Interest of mv friends I w ill later Jell the whole story and it would make a thrilling novel hut just now- I am still suffer ing somff from the secret assault and for other reasons prefer to he (tub-t.
