Man WAS Under
HALLUCINATION
THOUGHT HE WAS BEING PUR-
SUED BY AN OFFICE SEEKER
WHO THREATENED TO DO HIM
DAMAGE-WANTED THE PRO-
lection OF THE LAW.

A man suffering under "a hallucina-
ton created quite stir about the
Cass county courthouse this morning.
He believed that he was being both
cred by democratic office seeker, and
asked the protection of the officers of
the law.
The fellow was big and broad, and
wore an unusual flush on his face.
He first appeared at the office Of the
clerk of the district court, where he
began to jabber Danish most fiuently.
E. c. Gearey, jr., the clerk, could not
understand what the fellow was say
ing, so conducted him to the county
court room, where he was turned over
to Harold Sorenson, who speaks the
Danish language.
The man was clearly of unsound
mind. He stated that he was being
followed around by a man who was a
democrat and an office seeker in the
last election. He had never seen the
man, yet was positive that the shadow
was both a democrat and politician.
The Dane said that he recently had
seen the pursuer in a newspaper pic
ture and wanted the law to protect
him from the politician. Mr.. Soren-
son advised the demented man to get
the newspaper picture and bring it to
the court, so that the court might help
him in locating the person who both
cred him to such a great extent.
When examined 1T was found that
the fellow carried no weapons of any
kind, and. is thought to be perfectly
harmless. However, if he should come
across anyone and decide that this per-
son was the politician in question,
there is no telling what might happen.
The big man stated that he was liv-
ing in a Front street hotel, but had re-
Gently come from the hospital. 1t was
thought that he had not fully recov-
cred from his sickness, which had af-
fected his mind.
No one was present to issue war
rant for the Danes arrest, and he was
allowed to go in search of the paper
which bore the picture of his would
be assailant.

of taxes is covered by taxing the COM
panies that are now doing business In
the state 3 per cent on their premium
receipts, instead of per cent as here
tofore. This a is further hardship on
the companies and future loss to
their policyholders I'm the way of re-
duced dividends.
The result Of the Robertson law to
date may be cJncisely stated at fol-
lows:
A loss Of the companies Of their ex-
penditures In building up their business
in Texas, and Of their Texas business.
Inconvenience and loss to the policy
holders in paying their premiums, re-
Installing lapsed policies, procuring
loans on their policies, proving death
claims, and generally in transacting
any business they may have with the
companies that withdrew from the
state
The loss to the state of large
revenue.
Increased tax on the companies that
continue to do business in the state,
and consequent future loss to their
policyholders in promised dividends.
The same burdens on Texas COM
panies that Texas imposes on outside
companies, should Texas companies at
any time enter other states for bust
ness. This is because of the operation
Of the reciprocal laws.
AS an offset 10 the above results:
No increased security for policy
holders.
Some forced Investments in Texas
securities that probably only to a slight
extent interest or benefit the policy
holders.
Obliging Texas citizens who desire
life insurance to procure it outside the
state, or to take the same in more or
less untried companies.
Such legislation is most always
prompted by the officers of new local
insurance companies, the success Of
which is very largely dependent upon
the extent to which policyholders i'm
old established companies drop their
policies and insure In the new COM
panies under promises of large and in
creastng benefits.
Compulsory investment bills were in
troduced in the Legislature OF some four
or five other states, suggested, no
doubt, by the Robertson law of Texas.
but the good judgment of the legislat-
ures Of those states promptly de-
feated them.

N. P. TO BUY Line
into S. DAKOTA

Aberdeen, S. D., Feb. S.--A rumor
is in circulation in Aberdeen, which
appears to have some foundation, to
the effect that the Northwestern road,
which now runs it's passenger trains
through to the terminus of the line at
Cakes, N. d., will hereafter run the
night trains only as far as Aberdeen,
putting on local day trains between
Aberdeen and Cakes, and virtually
making this place a passenger divi-
sion point. 1t is also claimed that
the Northern Pacific is negotiating for
the purchase of the Northwestern line
between Aberdeen and Cakes being
anxious to acquire an inlet into this
section of South Dakota. Northwestern
men here deny knowing anything re
garding the rumored transfer.
