next robbed stage and got $3.50 out OF
the Well-Fargo box. With the pro-

when the money was all spent he re-
turned 10 California and resumed stage
robhing. He was caught in his next
venture, confessed 70 the previous rob
| berry and was sent 10 San quentin for
twenty-five years, but at the end OF
seven he escaped.
At I'ruckee, according to his story,
he robbed TWO men. The amount SCI
cured is n6t stated. Then he went TO

man who he had reason TO believe had
$1,000 on his person. The Chinaman,

and was arrested on suspicion of being
Policeman Hunts murderer. Dowuen
says he was afraid OF being lynched, so
confessed who he was and went back
to San Quentin. After ten years he
was pardoned by Governor SLOVENIAN,
father of Seattle's ex-eity clerk.
Downen, with child-like simplicity,
says that he Immediately went to Santa
Clara and applied himself with dill
gence TO the highwayman business.
The night of Feb. 20, 1885, in attempt
ing TO rob man and two women, he
shot one of the latter but not fatally
Downen next went to San Jose and il
was here that he committed his first
murder He shot a man IN ST. James
park whom he had never seen before.
The only reason he killed him was be-
cause "he seemed to have some money, =
as Downen now says.
Downen next robbed Mexican wo-
man. For this lie was arrested and
tried and sentenced to a term of seven
years at San Quentin. He then joined
some other prisoners in a plan to es-
cape from the prison from which he
had been released but short time be-
fore. la escaping, however, Downen
fell from ladder on the prison wall
and broke his right leg, becoming
crippled for life He was recaptured
within a week Then he served out his
sentence. AS soon as he was released
he went to Spokane There he com
mitted burglary. For this he was
! sentenced to two years, which he
served. Upon being released he went
to Park county, Montana, where he
stole $1,000 worth Of jewelry. This he
buried one dark night near Livingston,
and was never again able to find the
spot.
After visiting Ogden, Salt Lake and
Cheyenne, Downen early this year
came to Denver, his old home. He
went to board with Mrs. Liehenheld,
at 1921 Stout street. He pretended to
have business at the other end of the
city He bought yellow bicycle and
occasionally took ride at night It
has now been found that these night
rides coincide with series of robber-
les that have been taking place about
Denver since early in May.

HEN AND HORSE FIGHT.
A Pitched Battle in Which Neither
Side Was Beaten.

A Dexter gentleman claims to have
seen battle between horse and a
hen recently. More oddly matched
contestants can scarcely be thought of
Into neigubor's orchard, where a
horse was feeding, an old hen led her
flock OF chicks. Just what began the
fuss the gentleman did not see, but
probably the chicks made themselves
too familiar with the horses feet.
The horse began kicking at the old hen
with all its might, and with the pros
poet that If he could only hit her once
poultry would take sudden rise in
her vicinity The pluck Of the hen was
something wonderful The chicks
scudded out of the way, but the mother
fluffed out her feathers, ran her neck
out straight before her. and darted for
the horses heels whenever they struck
the ground. She pecked viciously at
them, but the odds were against her.
as the heels were pretty sure TO be
missing by the time she got a blow well
aimed. The horse labored under the
difficulty. He would look back for the
hen and take aim at her, and she would
change base before the cyclone struck.
For much fuss and effort and little
effect the battle furnished unique
spectacle. Both sides qu.sted down
after a time, and the old hen marched
off with her chicks. clucking vocifer-
ously which was doubtless her way Of

Breaches of the Law.

Continually haunted by the grim
visages of his many victims, Albert
Hence Downen has confessed to the
chief of police at Denver that he has
transgressed the laws of his fellow
men on twenty-five distinct occasions
including two murders, one assault up
on man with intent to kill, the shoot
ing OF woman, the shooting OF a
Chinaman, and three stage robberies.
The man who nearly took the chief s
breath away by this confession spoke
nearly 10000 words before he had re-
lieyed his mind and conscience. His
explanation for making voluntary
statement was that he had been contin-
ually in fear of arrest, and that he
wanted to be convicted of the murder
Of Joel w. Ashworth at Denver, June
27, and hanged as quickly as possible.
He objected sirenuously in court when
an attorney was assigned to defend
him. The chief Of police that SO far
as he has investigated Downens story
has found it to be correct.
The first time Downen committed an
offense was in 1873, when he stole a
mule from County Commissioned
Twombley al Denver. He was placed
under s400 bonds, but skipped out TO
California, locating at visalia, where
he went TO work in sawmill. He
