Stole His Forgiveness - Pursued
Brother law Ten Miles Demanding
Its Return.

Special to Times Republican.
Fort Dodge, June 3.--John L. John
son, who has just been sent to the asy-
lum for the insane, presented strange
case of dementia. Johnson at times
is rational and apparently possess
sed of his right mind, while at
other times he labors under q pc
culiar delusion that his brother-in- law
stole his forgiveness. Johnson lives
near Badger and is a farmer by oc-
cupation. Several weeks ago he asked
his brother-in-law to look over a
field of corn. The men dug up several
hills and as usual discussed the crop
law was engaged in digging up hill
and had just completed his task when
glancing up found himself looking
into the barrel of a revolver and
johnson starding behind it. 1t was
the first indication of insanity he had
shown and his relative finally sue
ceeded in talking Johnson out of his
intention, which was to make the
other accompany him to the home of
a certain resident or the vicinity to
obtain forgiveness from a woman he
thought he insulted years ago. The
insane man claimed that twelve years
ago he was at a dance and had sung
a song at which Il young woman had
taken offense. Before he could apollo
giZe of ask her forgiveness, john
son was induced to leave by his
brotheri in-laW and for this he now
insists that the other stole his for
giveness, as after that he was never
able to make the apology. The mat
ter had apparently been forgotte1
and that Johnson should turn insane
on this subject after lapse of twelve
years is unusual to say the least.
On another occasion Johnson pu.-
sued his brother-in- law ten miles over
the country road in an effort to axe

the Japs' artillery fire at time of the
