KING ALFONSO
HAS CLOSE CALL
Anarchist Fires Three Shots at
Spanish Ruler.

Madrid, April 14.-7--For the third
time in his reign King Alfonso narrow
ly escaped being the victim of an an.
archist attempt against his life. Three
shots were fired at the king in the
streets Of the capital by native of
Barcelona, Rafael Sanchez Allegro
who was overpowered Immediately. T.
King Alfonso owes his escape to his
own courage, quickness and skilled
Workmanship. Accompanied by his
staff he was riding along the Gale de-
Alcala, returning from the ceremony
of swearing in recruits, when man
sprang from the sidewalk and seized
the bride OF the kings horse with one
hand, presenting revolver point
blank with the other.
The king, realizing the situation,
with lightning rapdity dug his spurs
into his horse, which reared. His
quickness saved his life. The bullet,
instead of burying itself in the kings
breast, struck the horse on the neck
and so close was it that the kings
left hand glove was blackened by the
powder discharge.
Before the assailant was able to pull
the trigger again secret service man
sprang upon him. The two men fell to
the ground, locked in each others
arms, struggling furiously. The as
sassin managed to free his revolver
arm and fired two more shots In rapid
succession, but the officer knocked his
arm aside and the bullets Jew harm
lessly through the air.
