Disorder.y ..ouct-Other Items.
Special to Times Republican.
Grlnnell April 22.-Parn Kirkpatrick
was arrested at his residence about j
O'clock yesterday morning by the night
watch of the city, taken to the house
of detention, and booked as drunk
and disorderly' Later he was brought
ted to bonds for his appearance for
trial this afternoon. The facts, as
nearly as can be ascertained from the
officers and neighbors, are that Kirk
patrick went away in the evening, as
seems to have been his habit of late,
and did not return until that early
hour the next morning. His wife had
been previously terrified by his con-
duct and threats, and had locked both
the outer door and that leading to
their sleeping room. Kirkpatrick eff
fected an entrance into the house and
demanded admittance to his wife's
room, accompanying his demand by
threats of bodily injury to all of the
occupants His demonstrations had
aroused the neighbours living on either
side, as they had done on previous
similar occasions, and when Mrs.
Kirkpatrick screamed from the Win
dow for help, two of them came to her
aid. About that time the officer APP
peared and took charge of the dis
turber of the neighborhood peace, tho
not without some resistance on his
part and took him to the cooler.
County Attorney Boyd is expected from
his home at Malcolm to prosecute the
case. 1t is suggested that the recent
decision of the supreme court In re-
versal of the verdict of the lower
court in the case of kirkpatrick
against Guaranty Company, whereby
he was awarded some $4,000 accident
insurance for the loss of his hand,
may have affected his mind, and led to
the development of these vicious ten
denotes lately shown.
