President M’Kinley Fatally Shot

     Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 6[.]—President McKinley was shot twice at the Pan-American Exposition grounds this afternoon by an insane man. One bullet took effect in the shoulder and the other in the breast. He has been removed to the service building hospital at the grounds.
     Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 6.—It is now said that one bullet struck the President in the chest, and the second in the groin. Both wounds are serious.
     Physicians after a consultation announce as their opinion that the shots will prove fatal.
