Hollands King Is Crazy.

The truth about the king Of the Neither
lands has come out. Why such mystery
has been made Of it is inconceivable. He
has been quite out of his mind for mont hs
with occasional glimpses of sanity. The
doctors informedlthe government long ago
that there was no chance of his ra,lying
and ultimately he would become quite
mad. under which circumstances his health
might improve and his life be prolonged,
which now is said to be now unlikely.

Clarkson is quoted as saying in the Tribune
that he did not believe there would be a
great many more changes made in fourth
class postmasters in either Minnesota,
Iowa or Dakota for some time vet. The
recent order issued by Postmaster General
Wanamaker that removals would not be
made until the present terms expire, ex-
cept for cause, will have much to do with
ma ters in those three states, as there are
very few whose terms expire for some
months to come. and they will continue in
this way through the entire year, many of
them running as much as two years and
some longer.

Russ Harrison was president of the

The same article first appeared in the

lished retraction. The Montana Journal
copied the article from the Buffalo Com
mercial, and, therefore, did not originate
the story. Mr.. Crosby seeks personal
retraction from Mr.. Harrison, as we'll as

the whole matter in the hands of his at

Ex- United States Marshal Wilcox re-
GENTLY called upon Mr.. Moffat. the Denver
bank president who was SO coolly robbed
some days since. and showed him the
photograph of the boldest criminal of the
age and asked him if he thought 1t bore
any resemblance to the robber. The bank
president was quite startled at the picture
and said at once that it did. He was then
informed that the photograph was u cor
rect likeness of II. W. Burton, the man
who single handed and absolutely alone
held up stage coach early IN the summer
Of 1880 and robbed the men Of ali their
valuables. From the driver he took the
express packages and the United States
mail. Two months later he was captured
after desperate fight in Pueblo and finally
ON trial in the United States court sem
fenced to the penitentiary for life. Dur-
ing the time Of his imprisonment he made
numerous desperate attempts to escape
and severely injured several guards. He
was released from the penitentiary about
two years ago owing to the fact that he
had been tried on an information rather
than an indictment. Pinkerton, and, in
fact, all of the agencies, have the matter
in hand now and are on the lookout for q
man that answers to the description of
Burton.
