is Not Considered Serious
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. 15.——Col-
onei Theodore Roosevelt was shot
and wounded last night as he was
leaving the Gilpatrick Hotel for the
Auditorium to make a speech. The
wound was in the right breast and
the Colonel went on to the hall and
ibogan his speech after he had seen
his assailant arrested and taken to
the police station.
Henry F. Coclienis, chairman of the
speakers' bureau of the progressive
party, seized the man, who refused to
tell his name, and held him until
policemen came up. A mob surged
around the prisoner, who apparently
is mentally upset on the subject of
.lolonel Roosevelt‘s running for an-
other term as President.
The man admitted firing the shot,
declaring that “any 1mm warring ”WWW shirt. over the place.

by John Schrank, in Milwaukee, was

who ordered a second X-ltuy examine

according to Dr. J. B. Murphy.
Victim Looked at Wound.
Col. Roset’elt opened his waist and
bloody shirt and glanced at the wound.
It was a black hole. surrounded by
bruised and bleeding flesh. Little
blood came from it, which at first
seemed to indicate that the'iiow might
be internal.

Col. Roosevelt, “but I am not coughing

look upon it as serious. The colonel's

The County Commissioners, Whit.

Brouhy, are in session in the Nor-
walk town court room today receiving
applications for liquor licenses. The
morning session was quite a busy one
and a number lwere received and re-
lcorded up to noon.
H. :Sachs, of Main street, is provid-
ing a way“ for Thomas Gay, the new
hotel proprietor, to sell liquor at his
establishment which is now being me
pared for ‘occupancy. Mr. Sachs is to
transfer his license to Mr. Gay. Other-
wise lt is said it would be more diili‘
cult to secure one, owing to the fact
that his hotel is within two hundred
feet of the 'Norwalk Post Office.
At 12:30 the commissioners adjourn-
ed their session for dinner and resum-
led work about 2 o’clock.
Commissioner Peace had tire trouble
with his automobile on the way from
Bridgeport to Norwalk this morning,
which made him a trifle late, and also
which provided the lane for him to in-
jure himself. The genial official was
assisting in repairing the trouble when
his thumb became placed between the
descending hammer and the steel rim
of the wheel. The result was a painful
wound to the left thumb. The injury
bled profusely, but strange to relate
does not seem to have caused any lin-
gering pain or disagreeable circumstan-
ces.
The list of applications up to'noon
are as follows:
