INSANE FARMER
KILLS AND BURNS
Horrible Dual Tragedy Enacted in
Sherburne County-Knife and
Moose Used.

st. Cloud, Mimi, June 15.--After
stabbing his wife and setting fire to his
fine farmhouse, Frederick Nelson, 70
years Of age, went to his barn, tied a
rope to a beam, placed a moose about
his neck, stabbed himself in the breast
and lurched forward into eternity His
neck was broken and the knife wound
would have been fatal.
Nelson lived on a farm in Santiago
township, seven miles north of Becker,
sher rtSine county and was the
the last few years he had seemed to
lose mental strength, but at no time
was 1t believed that he was actually
insane.
The circumstances leading up to the
terrible tragedy can only be surmised,
but 1T is known that Nelson attacked
his wife without warning, when no
one else was in the house. The wound,
it is believed, caused instant death.
When this first CHASTITY step in the
days terrible work had been taken,
Nelson hurried to the machine house,
where was stored hundreds of dollars
worth of farm implements and ma
chimes. Nelson started a fire in it
and then went back to the dwelling.
There he started several fires, and
in a short time both buildings were
blazing.
He then ran to the barn and at
q 81 oilS lope ~ q oeetlll III Ille
haylOft. He sat on a crOssbeam and
fashioned a moose, which he placed
securely around his neck. Then he
took the bloody knife and plunged
the blade into his breast. The body,
inert, dropped from the beam and
when the rope drew taut the mans
neck was broken.
Neighbors who hurried to the scene
when they saw the flames, devoted
their whole attention to the burning
house, but they were unable to enter
it and Mrs. Nelson's body was charred
beyond recognition.
The Nelson's had resided in Sher-
burne county over thirty years. In
addition to Mrs. Peter Sorenson, Of
Becker, another daughter, Mrs. George
Peterson, resides at 2742 Taylor ave-
nue. NE, Minneapolis. A son, Chris
tan Nelson, lives within a mile of
Becker village.

of the supreme court today, denied
the writ Of habeas corpus for the re-
lease of Mrs. Nan Patterson, who is
held in connection with the mysterious

Unless the Metropolitan Steamship Co.

At the present time it is impossible to
