disarmed after a terrific* struggle aa?
arrested.
The madmp.n carried a loaded re

have that money which you owe me."
He flourished the revolver in
menacing .fashion, driving the i
trnns of the bank Into the street In
a state of great alarm. Clerks hid
beblnd desk^ and table*. When the
dangerous intruder first entered the
institution, he inquired for one of
tfie officers.
At first he did not arouse suspi
cion but his strange statements and
his queer actions soon attracted at
tention. When he drew the revolver
peojfTh fled In all directions.
When the officers finally overpow
ered him and wrestled the weapon
away from him he still clunc to his
delusion -thai he was the eldest son
of Qneen Victoria and that the bank
owed him a large sum of money.
After a few hours detention he was
removed to an asylum for the insane.
