Col. Taken to Chicago Hospital.

Chicago, Oct. 15.—Colonel Roosevelt was brought to Chicago on a special train from Milwaukee, arriving here at 3 o’clock this morning. He walked from the train and as he z passed by a battery of newspapermen and flashlight photographers he remarked: “Shot again.” He seemed in fine spirits. He was placed in an ambulance and rushed to the Mercy hospital. He reclined on a cot in the ambulance and when the hospital was reached seemed to have taken a decided turn for the worse. ' The surgeons, headed by Dr. John B. Murphy, noted the change with some alarm. It is said they fear blood poisoning. The surgeons made a superficial examination and it was decided to operate at about noon today. Dr. Murphy was to do the operating. Although the wound did not seem to be serious, the fact that the bullet is some place in his body is causing grave concern.
