MAUCH CHUNK Daily PISGAN Times YEAR MAUCH CHUNK, TUESDAY AFTERNOON OCTOBER 15 1912 THE FIELD OF SPORT LATEST EVENTS IN THE ATHLETIC LINE CULLED FOR THE ENLIGHTENMENT OF LOVERS OF SPORTS. Jack McCarron and Young Loughry furnished another great six round scrap at the American A. Philadelphia, last night, with McCarron having a big lead at the finish. A society flavor was added to the mill by the presence of A. J.

"Tony" Biddle, the Quaker City society and clubman, in the ring as the referee. Loughry refused to go on with the regular club referee and Biddle, who is a great friend of Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, was prevailed upon to perform the thankless task. McCarron, as usual, started slowly and the friends of Loughry went wild with glee when their favorite landed a wild swing on Jack sending the Allentown boy to his knees in the closing minute of the initial round. Jack slipped on a wet spot on the canvas just as Loughry cut loose the swing and the slip had as much to do with his going down the punch. This served to wake the local boy up and from the second nd round he tore into Loughry in earnest style and had the Manayunker backing around the ring and clinging on at every opportunity.

Loughry ate up a great deal of body punishment, McCarron shooting in short right jolts to his body with a frequency that made many wonder how he could stand under it. Loughry kept stepping around the ring and when McCarron would work him into a corner would cling tightly to Jack. Jack though caught him with a stiff left jolt in the sixth round that sent him down for the full count and 1 he barely lasted the round. The fight had the fans on their feet throughout and was voted a dandy by all. Both boxers missed some swings that had they landed would have ended matters in a hurry.

The trout streams in various sections of Carbon are now, in good shape for some years to come, many thusand four-inch trout having been distributed during the past week. The work of distribution was in charge of E. Boettcher, secretary die of the Mauch Chunk Rod and Gun Club who thoroughly understands these duties. The stocking of streams with such large sized trout is unusual, though it is claimed to have many advantages over the old method of distribution of trout fry, many of which are said to have perished be fore they reached any size. Trout fishing should be good for the next few years, inasmuch as there was no great drought the past Summer that would dry up streams and leave the speckled beauties to die for want of water.

Many fishermen claim that trout never perish because of streams drying up because the truot always make their way to the deeper -South Side Cor. Hazleton Standard. Brutal Conduct.

A. Rummage Sale next Friday land Saturday. 2t NO 13 WORLD BY TELEGRAPH FLASHES BY WIRE FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD. THE LATEST EVENTS TOLD IN THIS COLUMN Milwaukee, Oct. 14-An attempt was made to assassinate Col.

Roosevelt here tonight as he was on his way to address a crowd at the auditorium. As the ex-president stepped from the Gilpatrick Hotel, seven blocks from the auditorium, a slovenly dress ed man rushed out from the dense crowd around the colonel's automobile. Quick a flash, he drew a reads volver and shot Roosevelt. The bullet bored through the fleshy part of the right side below the shoulder. Roosevelt staggered back into the automobile and then, raising himself called out: "Don't hurt him.

I am all right." A captain of police rushed in as the man was released and dragged him to the hotel kitchen. The assassin gave the name of Jno Shrank, of 370 East 10th New York. It is believed that he is a maniac who has been following the colonel about the country, watching for an opportunity to fire the shot that he fired tonight. Co. Roosevelt sat back in the motor car as an immense throng that had witnessed the shooting yelled to him with rare presence of mind, the colonel, waving his hat, cried out: "My good friends, I am not hurt, I am going on to the hall to speak.

Good luck." The whole incident occurred SO quickly that the astonished crowd did nothing but stand still. Roosevelt turned to the chauffeur and, in a calm voice, remarked "Now just run the car up to the auditorium, I am not hurt and everything is all right." The car started up, and in a minute Roosevelt was on his way to the hall with a. bullet in his side. Instantly Dr. Sayley and Dr.

Fred erick Stratton of Milwaukee, hurried back. They found Dr. Terrill sitting on a chair before Roosevelt trying to induce the ex-president to give up the speech and go to a hospital. "My dear doctor, that is impossible. I am going to make that speech if it is the last one.

No, I am not hurt a bit. I don't think the bullet hit me. If you will wait till I finish the speech I will let you see for yourself." As he spoke, Roosevelt got up from his chair and insisted upon being shown the way to the stage. Dr. Terrill implored him not to go.

Colonel Lyon tried to stop him, but the Colonel pushed the Texan aside saying, "Now Cecil you are disturbing the campaign." Roosevelt then walk ed the the stage and the crowd burst into the wildest cheer he has heard in his campaign. Roosevelt waved his hand at the crowd and said: "Fellow citizens of Colonel pulled the manuscript, from his pocket. As he drew it out for the first itme he noticed that the bullet had penetrated it. The bullet had torn a round hole in the big manuscript. It had gone on into the fleshy part of the chest and lodged there.

Those on the platform saw a tinge of red about the bullet mark on the manuscript. Dr. Terrill start ed from his chair, bound on having the ex-president stopped and go at once to the hospital. Roosevelt saw him arise from the chair and exclaimed impatiently: "You just stay where you are. I am going to make this speech and you might as well yourself." Terrill had a compose suspicion all the time that the bullet had found its mark, but he had been balked by Roosevelt so that he could not make certain.

Roosevelt talked for fifteen minutes before he gave the slighest indication that he felt the effect of the bullet. Then a sudden tinge of pain made him clutch his right side. The audience was quick to observe it and a protest ran through the hall for him to stop. On into his speech, went the colonel, raising his voice to a high pitch. He strode to one side of the platform and then to the other following the lines of his prepared speech.

After Roosevelt talked for half an hour lambasting Senator LaFollette for opposing the progressive and attacking Wilson, he ceased for a moment to take a glass of water. This was taken by the crowd to indicate that he was growing faint. The ex-president went on with his speech for half an hour longer. At the conclusion he said: "Now friends I want to thank you for your forbearance, you have listened patiently to me. Thank you and good luck." A deafening round of cheers went up as the ex was escorted from the stage.

The doctors insisted, after an examination that he go to a hospital. While the colonel was on his way there, a message was sent to Mrs. Roosevelt telling her of the shooting and assuring her that the Continued on Fourth Page SECRETARY HAUK PUT ON TRIAL CELEBRATED LEHIGHTON BUILDING AND LOAN CASE AT LAST COMES TO TRIAL.

2t LANSFORD'S BUSY DOINGS WHAT IS GOING ON IN CARBON'S MINING METROPOLIS A BUDGET OF LIVELY NEWS. The "Thick Witted Club" held a banquet in their rooms on W. Ridge street Saturday evening in honor of the 420th anniversary of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus. The rooms were beautifully decorated with flags and bunting. Brennan's orchestra of eight pieces furnished the music.

At 8.30 twenty five hearty and jovial members set around the festive board. The menu contained many appetizing dishes, conspicious among these were six canvass back ducks shot by Edward O'Donnell, at Hauto dam during the week. The menu having been disposed of the entertainment began by singing "America" by all present. Cement contractor Michael Brennan, the missing link in Keith's Circuit, was toast master and filled the post with honor. In opening he read three letters, one from Governor- Wilson, Congressman Lee, Schuylkill and President John P.

White, of the United Mine Workers all three pressing sincere regret that they could not attend. He then delivered an impromptu speech on Columbus. It was a combination of wit and seriousness. He took his hearers by storm with his pleasantries and crea ted a profound impression by his knowledge of the history of the life and time of Columbus. He said "after 420 years we are assembled tonight to pay honor to a great man, a man of deep learning, moral courage, one who met and overcame countless obstacles, a conqueror in the true sense of the word.

In honoring him tonight we hnor ourselves; the world owes him a great debt, not so much because he opened up the trackless and unknown ocean by making a path for others to follow, but because he gave to it the greatest gift it ever received when he gave it America, "the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave." The orchestra discoursed many beautiful selections, also the Thick Witted Glee Club dered many popular selections to renal delight of the company. Dan Mulhearn sang "Where the Shannon River Flows" in a clear tenor voice. Martie McFadden also added to the entertainment by songs. John Grace did his turn by a buck and wing dance. Thus the time flew on the wings of harmony and good fellowship until the hour of parting ed when the orchestra struck up the "Star Spangled Banner" all arose and sang the National anthem as they left the hall for their respective homes.

The funeral of Morgan Morgans, the policeman, who was shot by Flor ence Thomas Wednesday morning was held Saturday afternoon and was the largest funeral to leave town in a number of years. The town council, fire company and the P. O. S. of A.

attended in a body. The many and beautiful floral offerings attested to the esteem in which the dead officer was held. The pall bearers were members of the P. O. S.

of A. and companions of the dead officer. Interment was made in the Grand Army cemetery, Summit Hill. Chicken thieves are again at their nefarious work. They visited several coops on West Bertsch street last week.

We would advise those people to choose a more honorable profession or at least give these coops on West Bertsch street a wide berth, otherwise you may leave town on car No. 14. James Courtney, of Philadelphia, is visiting his sister, Mrs. Frank Sponle on Snyder avenue. Rose Lamb accompanied by her mother left Sunday for Philadelphia where she will enter St.

Agnes' hospital as a student nurse. Thomas Williams, of Scranton, was a town visitor Saturday and Sunday A benefit dance will be conducted at the Opera House Friday night for Mrs. Morgan, wife of Policeman Mor gan Morgans, who was shot in mistake by Florence Thomas. The opera house has been generously and charitably given free for the likewise John L. Boyle's orchestra.

Everybody is responding liberally and the benefit promises to be a huge success. Chief Early has disposed of 29 tickets at 50 cents each. Other ticket sellers are doing handsomely.

An interesting incident took place Sunday morning in connection with the regular services in Trinity Luthjeran church. The pastor, Rev. John Kuder, publicly burned the last note held 1 against its congregation on its parsonage property. The property was the home of the late William Seaboldt, and was acquired by the congregation in the spring of 1906 for $4,000. The entire cost of the property to date is $4697.70 and this whole amount has been secured.

The announcement came as a complete surprise and considerable joy and sat isfaction was manifested. The property is beautifully located especially for Trinity church, and the congregation may well congratulate itself, not only that it has become the owner of it, but also that it is now entirely free of debt. After the accounts are audited a full statement of expenses and receipts will be issued and distributed among the mem bership. POLITICAL. POLITICAL.

Preparations have been made by the National Republican Congressional Committee of Pennsylvania, for vigorous fights in A. Mitchell Palmdistrict, comprising Northampton Pike, counties, Monroe and in the 12th district where Alfred (B. Garner is opposing the Democratic Congressman Robert E. Lee. Chairman Moore will appoint district committees to take charge of the campaign in Mr.

Palmer's and Mr. Lee's bailiwicks, and he believes that there is an excellent prospect of carrying both of them for the RepubIcan canddates. F. A. March, Mr.

Palmer's opponent, has both the Republean and the Washington Party nominations and is very popular in the district. Stress will be laid upon Mr. Palmer's repudiation of Sam Randall, Pennsylvania's famous Protectionist Democrat, and upon the free trade blow he aimed at the Beth lehem steel industry. Owing to labor conditions and the rapidly increasing sentiment in favor of protective tariff. Congressman Lee is steadily losing ground and Mr.

Garner gaining strength every day. Rebecca Big Coal Celebration For Next October.
