ANARCHIST SHOOTS
Leon Czolgosz, a Polish Anarchist from Cleveland, At
tempts to Assassinate the President while vis
iting the Exposition at Buffalo.
A wave of horror swept over the
Sept. 6th, ou receipt of the news that President Mckinley had been shot
and pethaps fatally wounded while holdiug a public reception at the
Temple of Music in the Pan-Americau grounds at Buffalo. The follow,
ing account is given of the tragedy:
President McKinley, the idol of the American people, the Nation!
Chief Executive and the city's honored guest, lies prostrate, suffering
the pangs inflicted by the bullet of a cowardly assassin, while his life
hangs in the balance. Out on Delaware avenue, at the home of John G
Milburn, president of the Pan-American Exposition, with tearful face
and heart torn by conflicting hopes
whose devotion is known to all the
It was a few moments after 4 P.
holding a public reception in the Temple of Music, on the Pan-American
grounds, that the cowardly attack
alone can tell,
Standing in the midst of the crowds, numbering thousands, surround
ed by every evidence of good-will,
showered with expressions of love
all eager to clasp his hand amid
recurriug plaudits of an army of sightseers ringing in his ears, the blow
of the assassin came, and in an instant pleasure gave way to pain, ad
miration to agony, folly turned to
The President, though well guarded by United States secret service
detectives, was fully exposed to such an attack as occurred, He stood
at the edge of the raised dais upon which stands the great pipe org an, at
the east side of the magnificent structure. Throngs of people crowded
iu at the various entrances to gaze upon their executive, perchatice to
clasp his hand, and then file their
mob that every minute swelled and
and egress to the building.
It was shortly after 4 P. M. when
the Presidential parly, a medium-sized man of ordinary appearance, and
plainly dressed in black, approached as if to greet.tlle President. Both
Secretary Cortelyou and President
was swathed in a bandage or handkerchief. Reports 6T bystanders differ
as to which hand. He worked his way amid the stream ol people, up to
the edge of the dais until he was within two leet of the President.,
President McKinley smiled, bowed and extended his hand in that
spirit of geniality the American people so well know, when suddenly the
sharp crack of a revolver rang out loud and clear above the hum of voic
es, the shuffling sound of myriad feet and vibrating waves ofapplau.se
that ever and anon swept here and there over the assemblage.
There was an instant of almost complete silence. The President stood
stock still, a look of hesitancy, almost of bewilderment, on his lacei
Then he retreated a step, while a pallor began to steal over his features.
The multitude, only partially aware that something serious had hap
pened, paused in surprise, while necks were cranesl and all eyes turned
as one to the rostrum where a great tragedy was being enacted.
Then came a commotion. Three men threw themselves forward, as
with one impulse, and sprang toward the would-be assassin. Two of
them were United Slates secret service men, who were on the lookout,
and whose duty it was to guard against just such a calamity as had here
befallen the President and the Nation. The third was a bystander, a
negro, who had only an instant previously grasped the hand of the Presi
dent. In a twinkling, the assassin was borne to the ground, bis weapon
was wrested from his grasp, and strong arms pinioned him down.
Then the multitude which thronged the edifice began to come to a re
alizing sense of the awluluess of the scene of which they had been un
willing witnesses. A murmur arose, spread and swelled to a bum ol
confusion, then grew to a babel of sounds, and later to a pandemonium
of noises. The crowds that a moment before had stood mute and mo
tionless as in bewildered ignorance of the enormity of the thing, now.
with a single impulse, surged forward toward the stage of the horrible
drama, while a hoarse cry went up from a thousand throats and a thou
sand men charged forward to lay hands on the perpetrator of the crime.
For a moment the confusion was terrible. The crowd surged forward
regardless of consequences. Men shouted, fought, women fainted and
children screamed. Manv fled from

gested interior of the edifice.
Inside on the slightly raised dais was enacted within a few moments,
a tragedy so dramatic in character, so thrilling in its intensity, that few
who looked on Will ever be able to give a clear account of what really
did transpire. Even those who attended the President came out of it
with blanched faces, trembling limbs and beating hearts, while their
brains throbbed with a tumult of conflicting emotions, which could not

Of the multitude which witnessed or bore a part in the scene of turmoil
and turbulence, there was but one mind which seemed to retain its equi
librium, one hand remained steady, one eye which gazed with unflinch
ing calmness, an?l one voice which retained its even tenor aud faltered
not at the most critical juncture They were the mind and baud and
eye and voice of President McKinley.
After the first shock of tbe assassin s shot he retreated a step. Then,
as the detectives leaped upon his assailant, he walked slowly to a chair
and seated himself, at the same time removing his hat and (rawing his
head in his hands. In an instant, Secretary Cortelyou and President
Milburn .were at his side. His waistcoat was hurriedly opened,tie
President meanwhile admonishing those about him to remain calm, and
