Christiania, March 11.-A Swede,
apparently insane, fusilladed the royal
castle here with Remington rifle.
He fired altogether a dozen bullets,
several of which crashed through the

the police and disarmed. At the po
lice station he declared that it was
his intention to kill King Haakon. He
still had forty or fifty cartridges in
his pockets.

absent from the castle at the time OF
the shooting, having recently moved
to the royal residence at Voxenkol-

Omaha, March 11.-An unknown an
srohist entered the Merchants Ma

large sum of money, at the same
time displaying a bottle believed to
contain nitroglycerin and threatening
to blow up the bank If his request
was not complied with.
The man asked to see Vice Presi-
dent Luther Drake In his private
office. Drake seated himself opposite

three-ounce bottle containing thick
yellow liquid, Don't you make a
move. This is filled with nitroglycerin.
If you move you are dead man."
"You don't want to die yourself, do

"Oh, yes, | came in here ready to

building with me-"

Noticing that the man seemed thin
and pinched Drake asked him II he
wasn't hungry.
II have been studying over this
matter for several days and have not
eaten a thing for forty-eight hours,
answered the man with the bottle.
We'll. let's go have breakfast and
talk this over" proposed Drake.
''All right, but don't try any monkey
business or you are dead man"
replied the anarchist.
President Hamilton of the bank en-
tered the next room during the con-
versation and heard enough of 1t to
enable him to know what was going
on. AS Drake and the stranger left
the room together Hamilton tele-
phoned the police station for plain
clothes men and followed the two men
to a nearby restaurant.
Drake and the man were on oppo-
site sides of the table when three de-
tectives, accompanied by Hamilton,
entered the room. Slipping up behind
the stranger the detectives pinioned
his arms and relieved him OF his bot
tie before he knew what was up.

TROOPS HELD READY.
The Alabama Strike Situation Alarms
Governor Conner.

birmingham, Ala, July 1S.-While
reports concerning the strike situa-
ton are being greatly exaggerated
there was sufficient cause for alarm
Friday to induce Gov. Conner TO order
the military of the district to sleep
on their arms Friday night.
Friday Gov. Conner, together with
Sheriff Higdon and a number of dep
uties made an automobile tour of the
strike district.
So impressed was the governor with
the seriousness of the strike situation
that on his return to Birmingham
three local companies of militia were
ordered under arms. At the present
time a mixed company numbering 100
men is en- route to Adamsville, where
Friday afternoon an engagement be-
tween strike sympathizers and depu-
ties took place. No authentic report
concerning the result of this engage
ment has reached the city, although
it is known that one deputy is dead,
others wounded and that many strike
sympathizers have been arrested. The
news of this engagement was followed
by the instant mobilization of troops,
which are now en- route to Adamsville,
with Maj. Ledbetter in charge.

Owing to the carelesSness of Harry
Venn, one of the judges in prelimina-
ries of the 100-kilometers bicycle race,
serious accident occurred with Venn
himself the victim. He started to
cross the track Immediately in front
of Goelkelberg, Belgian rider, and
was struck by the tiyinG cyclist He
was thrown 90 feet and suffered Sc
we're cuts on the head and injuries to
his chest.
Goeskelberg was enraged and with
several cyclists threatened to assault
Venn. Police formed an escort for
Venn as he was carried from the
track.
The fact of the discus throw and
the shot put being on the days pro-
gram gave the Americans confidence
they would narrow the gap between
their total points and those scored by
Great Britain The difference exist
ing at the end of the second day of the
games was due largely to the consid-
cradle number of events put through
in which the Americans were not en-

KEGS are favorites over the English in
the remaining events.
The dashes, pole vault. and high

swell the point column of the boys
from the United States.
From now on the Yankees intend To
concentrate their greatest efforts in
the events where the Britishers ap
pear to be the strongest, on the theory
that no other teams sand show for
first honors. whereas England's lead
at the beginning of Thursdays pro
gram was rather ominOuS.
The Scandinavians do not consider
themselves out of the running by any
means, and are Boosting that they will
