KNIC SPURRED if IS NORSE, UNHURT His Body Guard Then Surrounded As- sailant, Capturing Him After a Se- vere Struggle—King Cheered at His Escape From Harm. Madrid.—For the third time in hi.' reign King Alfonso narrowly escaped Sunday being the victim of an anar- chistic attempt against his life. Three shots were fired at the king in the streets of the capital by a 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 Calle de Alcala, returning from the ceremony of swearing in recruits, when a man sprang from the sidewalk and seized the bridle of the king's horse with one hand, pointing a revolver pointblank with the other. King Acts Instantly. The king, realizing the situation, with lightning rapidity dug his spurs into his horse, which reared violently. His quickness saved his life. The bul- let, instead of burying itself lb the KANsAs pRisom FR king's breast, struck the horse. So close was the range that the king's lef glove was blackened by the powder discharge. Before the assailant was able to pull the trigger again a secret service man sprang upon him. The two men fell to the ground locked in each other's 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- testily through the air, At the sound of the first shot the king's 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 wall overpowered and handcuffed. King Alfonso, as soon as he saw that the man had been secured, raised him- self in his stirrups and turned to the crowd, gave a military salute and shouted in a ringing voice: "Long live Spain!" He then dismounted and reassured his staff, saYing; "It is nothing, gentlemen." Crowd Cheers Monarch. A mighty roar rose from the wildly enthusiastic masses, which swept along the highway as the king rode to the palace, cool, collected and smiling. Pure gold may be softened by keep- ing It at the boiling point of water for four days. Alloys cf gold require greater temperature.

King Acts Instantly.The king, realizing the situation,
with lightning rapidity dug his spurs

the trigger again a secret service mansprang upon him. The two men fellto the ground locked in each other'sarms, struggling furiously. The as-sassin managed to free his revolverarm and fired two more shots in rapidsuccession, but the officer knocked hisarm aside and the bullets flew harm-testily through the air,At the sound of the first shot the
king's staff forced their horses on thesidewalk and made a ring around theassassin, who fought fiercely in thegrip of four policemen before he walloverpowered and handcuffed.King Alfonso, as soon as he saw that
the man had been secured, raised him-self in his stirrups and turned to thecrowd, gave a military salute andshouted in a ringing voice:"Long live Spain!"He then dismounted and reassured
