PRESIDENT McKINLEY SHOT.

Friday, September 6, 1901, a few minutes after four o'clock P.M., while holding a public reception in the Temple of Music in the Pan-American Exposition, President McKinley was shot twice by a young anarchist named Leon Czolgosz, alias Fred Nieman. His parents are Russian Poles, and he was born in Cleveland, Ohio.

Both shots took effect. The first bullet flattened against the breast-bone; the second passed through the abdomen, near the apex of the heart, and is believed to have lodged in the muscles of the back.
