cRAzED HUSBAND ATTACKS WIFE
Bares Her Brain With Blows, and Both
Are Found Exhausted on Ground.

Aberdeen, s. D., April 9.-Word has
reached here from Lennon, S. D., of
the arrest of Emmett Penfield home
steader who has a claim six miles
southeast of that town, on charge of
brutally assaulting his wife with a
stove poker. 1t is stated that fifteen Sc
rious wounds were inflicted by the in
furiated man, some of which laid the
woman's brain bare.
When the sheriff reached the Pen
field home to arrest him, he found the
man sick in bed. He stated that he
committed the crime while delirious
from sickness. Penfield's brother says
the man while sick attempted to get
out of doors contrary to his physicians
orders, and when his wife attempted TO
restrain him he attacked her. The
woman fought for her life, and the con-
test, which started in the house, was
continued for distance of sixty feet
outside. When Penfield's brother ar
rived on the scene he found the eight
weeks-old baby of the couple lying on
the ground several yards from where
the encounter began, and the two ly-
ing on the ground a short distance
away. He says he helped them to the
house and put both in bed and then
summoned aid. The woman has been
brought to Lennon for treatment.
Her condition is precarious. Penfield
later became raving maniac and is
kept in irons until he can be cared
for by the proper authorities.

Pierce Made Greatest Gain.

Pierce county gathered in pretty
nearly all the attendance honors at
last weeks convention of the NortD
Nebraska Teachers association. Each
year a comparative statement of the
attendance is given. This years state
ment, which is today made public
shows that Pierce county not only had
the largest attendance of any of the
outside counties but also registered the
greatest percentage of increase.
Madison county comes first in the
list with 1872 teachers. These figures
have been swelled somewhat by the
fact that all the ministers and must
clans who had places on the program
were admitted to the meetings and
credited to Madison county.
Pierce sent eighty-six representa-
tlves here, all but two of whom were
actual teachers in the county. Wayne
county was second among the outside
counties with forty teachers, about 25
per cent of whom were from Wayne
college,
