MANSFIELD KING CONFESSES.
he HELD A PISTOL TO A BANKERS
HEAD AND GOT S21, 900.

HEAD AMI UO1 CNAiVVV'
Mansfield King, the alleged horse
thief, now confined in the Clayton
lall, has been identified as the
nervy robber who on March 29th,
1885, held up President MOttat, OF
the First National Bank of Denver,
and relieved him of 521, 900. The
day before the robbery KlDg called
on President Moff and informed
him very trutbfuIly that a plan to
rob the bank was about to be exc
cuted. lie was told to come around
the next morning at 10 o'clock, and
at that hour he appeared aud gave
further details about the alleged
plans to squeeze the bank. When
he left he said he would return
when the plan was ripe.
1t matured rapidly, for at l P.
NJ. he suddenly appeared, and,with-
out speaking a word to any one'
went to President Moffat's office in
the rear portion of the bank. At
ter closing the door he pulled out
a Colts revolver and bottle which,
he said, contained nitro -glycerlne
and dynamite. Pointing the gun
at MIR. Modat's head, he said:
"Mofat, am a desperate man
and 1 must have money. | will
kill you and blow myselfand every
body in this building up ifyou don't
do exactly what tell you. If you
make a move to create any alarm l
will kill you. have dynamite and
nitro-gIycerine in this bottle and
III keep my word. You make out
a check for S21, 900, sign it, and l
will 90 with you, and you cash It,"
Mr.. Moffat obeyed the robber,
and after receiving the money re-
turned to his office, where he turn
ed the Doodle over to King. TIE
latter locked the door end walked
out, aud was not heard Of until his
own tongue gave the clue.
Two months ago Mansfield King
was arrested in st. LOuis county on
three charges OF horse stealing. AT
ter his arrest he began talking to
the sheriff about the Denver bank
robbery, and expressed much adj
mlration for the rObber. Then he
confessed to killing a man in Rails
county, and, although the man Is
missing, his body has never been
discovered, and no charge can be
made against him. The sheriff
then suspected him of the Denver
robbery, and telegraphed Cashier
II. G.. Otis, who had good view OF
the robber, to take look at King.
Otis arrlyed on Friday and saw
King but could not identify him.
Saturday the prisoners beard was
cut and Otis recognized him. KING
then acknowledged the robbery and
SAID he had most Of the money
buried IN Rails county. He offers
to return the money if the bank
will let him off with nominal pun
lshment, and pay for the three
horses he has stolen.
He Is now suspected OF being the
man VITO committed three train
robberics in Texas and Kansas last
year. He has Implicated himself
in these robberies and the railroad
people are looking Up evidence
against him, He has involved
three other men IN the Denver job
and the detectives are now after
them.

A ROYAL BONAPARTE.
He Is as "well Born" as Any Sovereign
I'm EurOpe.

He Is as "well Born" as Any Sovereign
I'm Europe.
In an interesting paper on Prince
jerome, in the Westminster Review,
Frank T. Lawrence directs attention to
curious point, which, If ever the ques.
tion of Bonapartist restoration should
be seriously entertainedwhich, to be
sure, does not seem very probable
would not be without significance. 1t
is this; II the Prince, or even his de-
scendants, should ever attain power,
Bonapartism would appear in an entire
ly new guise, for through his mother he
belongs to the royal caste, distinction
which neither the first Napoleon nor
Napoleon III. could claim. He is as
"well-born" las those who delight In
this kind OF dynastic law arc won't to ex-
press it) as any sovereign in Europe,
and there is probably no reigning fami-
ly to which he is not related.
AS his great-grandmother was sister
of George ILL.,, he is second cousin once
removed to Queen Victoria, and shares
all her ancestry save that through
Queen Charlotte and the Duches of
Kent HE has!' says Mr.. Lawrence,
''as much of the blood of Plantagenet,
Tudor and Stuart in his veins as the
Queen has in hers" and in respect of the
last he is excelled by his children, who,
through their mother, are descended
from Charles l., through his daughter
Henrietta, Duchess of Orleans, while
our reigning house can claim descent
only through a daughter of James I.
Prince Napoleon is descended from
George l. in three distinct lines, one OF
them being through George ii. and
Frederic, Prince OF Wales.

A NEW GARDEN TOOL.

The Sergeant Wanted Six Testimonials,
and He Got Them, Too.
An old sergeant belonging to the col
ored troops stationed at Fort Bryan,
New Mexico, and who Is detailed as
head gardener, was directed to furnish
the quartermastcr with list of garden
tools wanted for the coming season. On
the following day the list was handed in
and-taken up by the quartermaster, who
was somewhat puzzled over an item of
"six testimonials" Never having heard
of such tool tho old sergeant was sent
for to explain. Pointing to the item, the
quartermaster asked what it was.
Dem am testimonials" the sergeant
replied.
"But there is no such tool" the quar-
termaster said.
"Oh, ycs," replied the sergeant. Oats

Bring mo the catalogue"
A few moments later the sergeant re-
turned, big twinkle of satisfaction
lighting up his coal-black countenance.
With step full of confidence he walked
up to the quartermaster's desk, opened
the catalogue, placed his finger on the
illustration of the tool in question and
said: "Da's de tool" and turning over
to the next page, 'da's de name-testi-

illustration represented newly patent.

testimonials as to its usefulness, ETC.;
the word testimonial, heading each par

sergeant naturally concluded was the
name of the tool illustrated on tho other
page.
OF course the quartermaster, being
convinced, informed the sergeant that
he should have the testimonials, and the
old man departed highly pleased with
himself and his knowledge of garden
tools. Detroit Free Press.

on couple of benches, each awaiting
the signal to go through his performance.
After few preliminary exercises a
number of stands or pedestals were
placed close together, and the five ami
mails executed series of tdbleau1 pipaats
with striking effect. On being sent back
to their places three of the lions obeyed
the injunction, but the second of the
group remained where he was. AS
neither coaxing nor entreaties availed,
Darling simply threw his protege over
his shoulder and carried him to his
place.
A swing plank was introduced, on
which the merry performers disported
themselves for while. Sitting upright
on their stands they had afterward to
hold out flags spread out from one to the
other, over which the mastiff jumped in
