Oyster Bay, N. Y.—The quiet rou
tine of life at Sagamore Hill was re
sumed Wednesday by Colonel ftoose-
velt and his family as though it had
not been interrupted by the attempt
to assassinate the former president.
For the first time since he was
wounded Colonel Roosevelt was unat
tended over night hy a physician.
There was no one in the house except
members of the family and servants
and the Colonel spoke hopefully of be
ing able, after a day or two more of
rest, to gradually resume his work.
Four physicians were with the Colo
nel on his arrival and after they had
dressed his wound they told him that
the one essential thing was complete
rest. If their directions are observed,
it is believed complete recovery is
probable.
Dr. Alexander Lambert and Dr.
Scurry L. Terrell, who accompanied
Colonel Roosevelt from Chicago, were
joined in New York by Dr. Joseph A.
Blake and Dr. George E. Brewer.
After examination they said the
wound was still wide open, spoke of
the possibility of infection, and added
they were unable to say whether it
would be possible for him to resume
campaign work.
Colonel Roosevelt said when his
wound had been dressed that there
was no longer the need of constant su
pervision of physicians, because he
was “ all right.”
