Mr.. E. L. Brown, the special agent of
the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
company of Milwaukee, who has for the
past month been paying special attention
to the life insurance business in this city
and Laramie received word this morning

representing the company in the United
States.
Mr.. Brown headed the list with twenty
six policies, amounting to $ll7, 500, all
written in Laramie and Cheyenne, and all
for annual cash premiums.
This business is larger than the whole
moun written in the same time in the
states OF Vermont, Rhode Island, West
Virginia, New Hampshire, Michigan and
Indiana, and speaks volumes for this
community as well as for the company
and Mr.. Brown, its agent. The total

HE IS MAD WITH LOVE.
Peter Buss Wants to Kill His
Sweetheart.
Says That He viii Then End His
Own Life.
Makes an Assault on a Friend of
the Girls.

Peter Buss, a hostler at the street car
stables, is in the calaboose and will be
sent to either the county jail or insane
asylum. He is love crazy and wicked.
Buss has been ~assiduously counting a
girl employed in IN East Seventeenth
residence. She DISCOURAGED his advances
aud he lost his head. Both are Swedes.
The girl is uncommonly comeIy.
Last evening the girl shopped in the
city and was Swallowed By Buss. She
gave him the slip, but being frightened
requested Mr.. Knudson, a clerk at
Myers, to accompany her home.
The couple were nearing the girls
home when Buss stepped from behind N
tree box and struck ~viciously at Knudson
with a club big as a ball bat. Knudson's
stuff hat saved him, but he was Knocked
to his knees. He warded of a second
blow with his m when Buss drew a
knife and cut Knudson in the hand. The
mad lover hen turned his attention to
the girl. She had reached the house of
her employer by this time. Knudson
came down town and secured Officer
Switzer.
The hunt for Buss lasted an hour. He
was found at the kitchen door OF the house
the girl had entered. He was in bis
stocking feet, having left his shoes at the
car stables so as to noiselessly approach
Knudson and the girl.
On the way to the Jail Buss INDUCED in
talk of the widest sort. He said he
should kill the girl. that they had been
engaged but she had proven tickle. Be.
coming excited he fairly rayed. You
read of fellows killing their sweethearts
and then suiciding." he remarked ex-
citedly, well that's what Ill do the first
chance | get. I'll do it sure as the world
when the police let me go. 1 got the
nerve and that girl ought to die and
when she is no more l want to go too
Buss continued in this strain unit
locked in a cell. He had not been drink.
ing, but was simply crazed.
Neither the name of the girl nor her
employer could be learned last night. Her
home is one of the fine East Seventeenth
residences and all the facts will come out
at the examination of the dangerous
Swede tomorrow.
