In the English language the infni

it's full share of political intrigue.
Since the days of the contest be-
tween Plains and Thompson Falls
over the location of the county seat,
the bipartisan political machine has
been well maintained and plentifully
supplied with funds, contracts and
promises-mostly the latter-to keep
it in fair working condition.
Trades and combinations, in the
matter of the distribution of county
offices have not been confined to
party affiliations.
The usual procedure has been to
put up a straw man on one ticket to
accommodate his opponent on the po-
posite ticket. The combine in the
past has played no favorites, so far
as political parties were concerned.
The candidate, who promised to be
useful to the managers Of the COM
bine, looked just as good on one
ticket as the other.
The people at Plains have never
rested in peace over the termination
of the first county seat election. Not

statute, Which requires a two thirds

COURAGEOUS KING ALFONSO
SLAVES OFF ASSASSINATION

Madrid, April 13.--For the third time
in his reign King Alfonso narrowly
escaped today being the victim of an
anarchistic 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 Immediately overpowered.
King Alfonso owes his escape to his
own courage, quickness and skilled
horsemanship. Accompanied by his
staff. he was riding along the Gale de
Alcala, returning from the ceremony
of swearing in recruits, when a man
sprang from the sidewalk and seized
the bride of the kings horse with one
hand, pointing a revolver point blank
with the other.
The king, realizing the situation.
with lightning rapidity dug his spurs
into his horse, which reared violently
His quiekness saved his life The
bullet, instead of burying itself in the
kings breast, struck the horse So
close was the range that the kings left

discharge.

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 flew harm
lessly through the air.
At the sound of the first shot the
kings staff forced their horses on the
sidewalk and made a ring around the
assassin. who fought fiercely in the
grip of four policemen before he was
overpoWered and handcuffed.
