Roosevelt Shot
While at Millwaukee
At 8:15, Tuesday night, the words
"Roosevelt has been shot" flashed
over every important wire in the
Nation, and then around the world.
Later, a report explained, "Rose-
velt was shot in the right breast by
a wouldbe-assassin just as he left
hotel enroute to the auditorium, in
Millwaukee, Wisa., where he was to
speak, and where he did speak un-
til he became too weak from loss of
blood etc, to continue. He was
shot by John Schrenk of New York,
who had been following Colonel
Roosevelt, it seemed for sometime
and who seemed to be suffering
under an insane idea that he was
doing a righteous thing in trying to
slay the ex-president.
The bullet passed through the
Colonel's over-coat, his dress coat
and the papers of his speech seemed
to have saved his life as the bullet
only penetrated the breast about
too inches.
Schrenk is in the Millwaukee jail,
Roosevelt is in a Chicago hospital,
Wilson and Taft will go home and
rest and let the people quietly de-
cide whom they want.

Dr. E. W. Hall
entertaining the financiers of our
city for the past few days with his
ideas and hopes of a cotton compress
for Devine, Some of his reasons
were teld to a News reporter this
week, and are as follows:
There is no cotton compress be-
tween San Antonio and Laredo, a
section that will raise twenty thous-
and bales any kindof year.
Devine ships more cotton than any
station on the line, therefore she
should have the compress,
It is absolutely necesary to com-
press cotton, so why not do it here.
Most of the cotton shipped over
this road is compressed in San An-
tonio—money would be saved by
having it compressed here.
$20,000. will build a first class
compress, and will pay the stock
holders big dividend. The entire
capital can be raised here
The business men want it because
it will help the town, help the in-
vestor—and they have faith in the
young promoter. The News wants
it and will do all in its power to
= boost it. Here's hoping.
Visits In Devine.
Dr, E. W. Hall of St. Louis, pro-
prietor of Hall’s Texas Wonder, was
hers this week, visiting his sister,
Mrs. J. C. Stroud and made us a
pleasant call, renewing his adver-
tisement personally. Dr. Hall is a
native of Texas, born in Lockhart,
in 1851, and while now engaged in
manufacturing and selling a great
medicine, he still loves Texas and
The News was agreeably surprised
to learn that his sister lived in De-
vine. Mrs. Melissa Whitley, of
Brownwood, a neice of Dr. Hall and
Mrs. Stroud, was also here.
