New York Times 100 years ago today, October 16, 1912:
Hit by Cleveland Man, Who Fired to Celebrate Shooting of Colonel.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct. 15.— Charles Brown, a Roosevelt supporter, was shot in the hip late last night by a fanatic who was apparently celebrating the shooting of Col. Roosevelt.
Brown had purchased a paper from a newsboy who cried out the news of the shooting, when a man, standing a few feet distant, drew a revolver and, shouting "Hurrah!" fired two shots, one of which struck Brown, who collapsed. The shooter escaped.
