DANBURY REPORTER VOLUME XL. ROOSEVELT SHOT BY CRANK AT MILWAUKEE The Wound Deep in the Right Breast, and Bullet Not Found—Condition Serious Colonel Roosevelt was shot by a fanatic at Milwaukee Monday, and is in a serious condition. He was in an automobile on his way to the auditorium to speak, when the lunatic, whose name is given as John Schrank of New York, rushed out and fired. One of the ex-President's secretaries captured the would-be-assassin. The ball took effect in the Col onel's right breast near the collar bone, but it did not deter him. He went on and spoke, and was then rushed to a hospital. On the first examination of the phvsicians the wound was thought to be very slight and not serious, but it is now the opinion that Mr. Roosevelt is in a dangerous condition. The wound was deep, the course erratic and the bullet is still there. The whole country is awaiting news from the sick man with deep anxiety and sympathy. Woodrow Wilson has canceled his speaking appointments against the chief of the Pro gressives. President Taft gives out a statement of sympathy.
