AT THE OLD J. P. MANN STAND
THEODORE ROOSEVELT SHOT.
Progressive Candidate Seriously
Wounded at Milwaukee last
Monday. Will Recover.
Theadore Roosevelt, progressive
candidate for president, was shot and
seriously wounded at Milwaukee,Wls ,
last Monday evening by John Shrank
who gave New York as his place of
residence. After the shooting Colonel
Roosevelt went to the auditorium
and addressed the audience that was
there awaiting him, speaking for
nearly an hour and a half. He was
then taken to a hospital where the
bullet was located and physicians said
that the Injury was not serious.
After the examination he was taken
in a special train to Chloago where he
was placed in the care of physlolans,
and they claimed that while the
wound Is serious they believe that the
vitality of Colonel Roosevelt will pull
him through.
The man who did the shooting,
John Shrank, is now in jail in Mil
waukee and will be tried for his
crime next month- He claimed that'
he was convinced from reading the
New York papers that the eleotion of
Roosevelt would be a national calami
ty and determined to put Roosevelt
out of the way. He followed him half
way around the United States trylngto
get an opportunity to kill him. At
no other city did the opportunity to
shoot him present itself, but when
the attempts to kill did not present
itself In Chicago, when Roosevelt was
there last week, he determined to
commit the crime In Milwaukee and
in order to familarlze himself with
the city he went to Milwaukee two
days ahead of Roosevelt, looking over
the city and seeking the best place In
which to commit thedasterdly crime.
A man was stopped while trying to
enter the dining room while Roose
velt was eating and It was thought
that it was the same man who after
wards shot him. Roosevelt was shot
while standing up in his auto, waving
bis hands to the cheering crowd that
stood in the street in front of his
hotel. The would-be assassin stood on
the Bide walk right near the machine
when he fired the shot. He was im
mediatedly over powered by one of
Roosevelt,s secretaries and turned
over to the police.

Grover Mabin.
Nelelgh Leader: Grover Mabin,
one of the oldest settlers In point of
residence, in the vicinity of Delolt,
died Tuesday in an Omaha hospital
from Brights disease. He had been
sick for some time but had been in
the hospital only a few minutes when
he died, the disease and the fatigue
of the journey being too much for
him, though he was taken to the
hospital as a last resort to prolong his
life. The funeral was Thursday at
2 p. m. from the residence of his
daughter, Mrs. Tiffany of Ewing.
Grover Mabin came to Delolt about
thirty-three years ago and he has re
sided there ever since. In the early
days he ranged a large number of
cattle and has at all times been large
ly interested in the cattle business.
Also at one time ran a creamery and
was engaged in the merchandise busi
ness. The Mabins were at one time
the largest landowners in that vicinity
and though of late years he has sold
considerable, he was still a large land
holder. He was 56 years old. He leaves
a wife and five children, Chester and
Will, sons, Mrs. Catherine Downs ol
Iowa, Mrs. Avis Tiffany of Ewing,
and Mrs. Earl Housh of Orchard.

KINKAID AGAIN IN THE RACE.
Congressional Committee Nominates
Him to the Position He Resigned
and He Accepts.
S. J. Weekes, O. O. Snyder, R. J.
Marsh and Paul Humphrey returned
last Monday morning from Crawford,
where they had been attending the
meeting of the congressional com
mittee to select a candidate to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of
Congressman Klnkald. Twenty-seven
of the counties of the district were
represented and it was the opinion
of the committee that Mr. Kinkaid
remain in the race and that wish was
wired him here, as follows:
"The republican committee of the
Sixth district In meeting assembled Is
unaminously of the opinion that you
should withdraw your declination as
a candidate for congress and accept
the nomination by this committee,
which action is earnestly requested
and cordially insisted upon by every
member of the committee. Notwith
standing your impaired health will
not permit of a vigorous personal cam
paign we believe it to be a duty to the
people of the district that this be
done. Please wire answer at once.
Judge Kinkaid’s answer was: “Will
aocept if It will not antognlze any
county. Be regarded as political
duty.”
Upon receipt o( Judge Kinkaid’s
telegram the committee unani
mously re-nominated him to fill the
vacancy and be will now enter the
tight and now make an agressive cam
paign for re-eleotion. The consensus
of opinion as expressed at the com
mittee meeting was that Kinkaid
would be re-elected and some of the
committeeman believed that he would
have as large a majority as he bad
two years ago, when he defeated the
present democratic candidate by near
ly 6,000 votes.

S. F. McNtchols,
17-3 County Clerk.
J. A. Snider of Naper, Neb., re
publican candidate for state rep
resentative from the tlf tv-fourth
district, comprising the counties of
Holt and Boyd, was in the city last
Friday meeting the voters in the in
terest of his candidacy. Mr. Snider
is a pleasant man to meet and created
a very favorable Impression among the
voters of this city.
O’Neill Is recognized as one of the
greatest hay shipping points in the
state. Agent Smith of the Burling
ton railroad says that his road hauls
100 cars a month from this city, which
would be about 1,000 ton. The indica
tions are that the amount shipped
this season will exceed that of other
years as there has been more hay put
up in the territory tributary to this
city than there has been in former
years.
John H. Morehead, democratic can
didate for governor, addressed seventy
voters at the court house last Friday
night. During the course of bis ad
dress he never referred to any other
democratic candidate, nor did be re
fer to the democratic candidate for
president. He confined himaeltaoleiy
to a personal plea for votes for him
self, promising the people if elected
that he would give them a good busi
ness administration. Hisspeeeh was
so conservative that one of the prow
gresslve democrats of this city said
that if he bad been blindfolded and
listening to the address he would have
said that the speaker was a Taft man,
Instead of one who claimed to be a
progressive democrat. A half doze
old Hue republicans were present to
bear the speaker and it Is said that*
some of them intend to support More
head at the election this fail. Among;
the democrats his speech was not very
well appreciated and we beard at
couple of democrats say after it was
over that he should have remained
away ffotiKftVmMife they believed
thafehls speech lost him votes.
5360 Acres
Will be sold at the K C Hall to
the highest bidder, in O’Neill next
Tuesday at 10 o’clock a. m.
This 5360 acres, being the Wid
ner land, will be sold in tracks to
suit the buyer.
It is not likely that many will
attend the sale from the outside at
this busy time of the year. Local
people should therefore inspect this
land carefully and attend the sale.
It is a rare chance to buy some hay
land near a good market and you
buy it at your own bid. Adr.
