M’Kinley Fired At

Shot Twice by Assassin at Buffalo.
——
HIS CONDITION SERIOUS

     Buffalo, Sept 6—Late this afternoon President McKinley was shot while attending exercises at the Temple of Music at the Pan-American Exposition.
     President McKinley was approached by an insane man who leveled a revolver and deliberately fired two shots, both taking effect in the body.
     The confusion that followed was indescribable, and as the smoke lifted and the president was seen prone on the floor, the thousands of witnesses were like enraged wild beasts.
     The President was fatally injured, one shot passed through his left breast and another through his abdomen. The man is under arrest but unidentified.
