DThe bitterness of the opposition to

FAKE SOLDIER HERE
Marshal Brings in Man Who
Impersonated Officer

Harry E. King, young man who's
specially has been to travel about il
the uniform of lieutenant of the
self as Lieut.. H. L. Colley, has been
brought to st. Paul from Albert Lea
and now faces the charge of imper-
sonating an officer Of the army. He
arrived last night in the custody of
Deputy Marshal Sheehan and is lodged
at the county Jail.
King had just completed thirty
day sentence to the Jail at Albert Lea
for defrauding a hotel at that town.
He jumped large board bill and was
located a week later at Mankato by
United States recruiting officers, who
had been instructed to watch for him.
King, though a young man, has had
a great variety. of experiences. Accord
ing to his story he is the son of re-
tired army officer, and had intended to
follow in the footsteps Of his father.
He was giver an appointment to the
military academy Of West Point, where
he commenced his studies. A love af-
fair was responsible for his undoing.
His rival of whom he got the best, he
says, revenged himself by forming a
plot which resulted in Kings being
tried on a charge of conspiracy and ex-
PEELED from the academy.
Sometime after leaving the school he
visited his old rival, who had moved to
Chicago, and there compelled him to
sign a statement generating King of
the charges brought against him. With
the paper in his pocket he was, on the
same day, slugged in suburb of Chi
cago, and when he recovered con-
seriousness the paper was missing,
Unable to return to his former as
sociates, King drifted about the coun-
try. He served in the Cuban campaign
of the Standardization war and
later in the Philippines.

Mothers Prompt Action Saves
Babes Life

While his mothers back was turn
ed, Sammy Rozan, 225 State street, a
three-year- old child, recovering from
the scarlet fever, seized bottle of
ca5oolic acid last night, and his cry
wien the fiery fluid reached his lips
was the first warning she had of his
danger.
Mrs. Rozan, discovering the bottle in
her baby's tiny hands, dashed it to the
floor in time to prevent him from more
than tasting it's contents. She had
used the acid in preparing bathing
solution for the child, and not thinking
that he would pick. up the bottle left it
on a stand near the bed. The restless
baby, however, reached for it and was
in the act of swallowing it when at
tracted by his cry, she turned and ran
to him.
The baby was removed to the city
hospital in the police ambulance. At
the hospital it was said that the child
had slipped but little of the poison and
that his recovery was assured.
