HOUGAARD'S DEED.

Chicago, Jan. 13-Peter Hougaard,
who is thought by the police to have
been insane, killed himself, wife and
i've children last night by asphyxla-
ton. The discovery was made by the
police to-day, Tho dead are:

father, forty years old.
MRS. HOUGAARD, thirty years.
HANS. fourteen years old.
JENNIE, ten years old.
OTTO. eight years old
MAUDE. six years old.
TELLA, two years.
Hougaard had evidently waited until
all were asleep and then turned on all
gas Jets, had calmly laid down and
waited his own death. Hougaar1 was
q Dane. living at 37i Sixty-tlrst street.
He wrote a letter to a friend yesterday
telling him what he was going to do,
saying he was Respondent, and spoke Of
some diamonds, which the police would
find by his side when they entered the
house. The letter. which was written
In Danish. was received by Hougaards
friend to-day and ne Immediately In
formed the police OF Its contents.
The police went to the Hougaard res
idence and forced the doors. They were
almost overcome by the fumes of IL
Illuminating gas which met them and II

covered the seven corpses. on the bed
lay Hougaard and his wife with their
two year-old daughter. Tella, all three
of the corpses lying on their backs and
the feet of the little one were under her
mothers body. Hougaard lay with his
ewes open and his hands folded across
his breast. The son, Hans, occupied
cot In q rear room. He had struggled
10 some extent before he was finally
suffocated and had kicked the clothes
off the bed. A large dog slept in the
room. and strange TO say, the dog was
alive when the room was entered by
the pollre. He evidently knew some
thing was wrong. for when the officers
fried to touch the body the dog attack
ed them and tried to drive them away
Jennie. Olga and Maud, the other
children, slept In the room next to
Hans They too had struggled and
nauseated by the fumes OF the gas. All
had evidently been dead for several
honrs, Everything about the house

crime with a dellberateness and atten.
ZION TO detail that is remarkable. After
the family had retired for the night
Hougnard began his preparations for
the crime. He wrote letters to Chief OF
Police Badenoch and left them on the
table In the dIning-room. Beside the
letters was box containing a deed to
nroperty. In the kitchen the police
found ali the shoes of the family. ar
ranged In a row side by side.
When his preparations had been com
Mated he turned on every gas iet In
he house. and getting into bed with his
wife and baby. folded his hands and
waited for death.
r. n claimed that Hougaard had lost
considera BILE money lately.
