President McKinley was holding a reception in Buffalo City, whither he had come for the purpose of officially opening an Exhibiton. with whom the President shook hands. Whilst performing this act of courtesy, the stranger receiving his guests a stranger approached,
swiftly drew a revolver with his left hand, and before he could be seized fred two shots at point blank range, ous of the bullets striking the anfortunate President in the chest, whilst the other entered the abdomen. McKinley immediately fell back into the arms of one of the private detectives who are to tinually on guard on any public occasion. A fearfully exciting scene ensued the moment the great crowd in the vicinity grasped what had occurred, and the police and soldiery had most difficult task in preventing the frantic mob from tearing the assassin limb from limb.
Subsequent inquiry shows the main to be a Polish anarchist named Leen Czolgost, 23 years of age.
