SHOT WIFE AND SELF.
J. P. Christofferson Said to Have
Admitted His Guilt
WAS TAKEN TO JAIL YESTERDAY
Mrs. christofferson Is Still Alive But
There 10 Slight Possibility OF
Her Recovery Because OF
Her Advanced Age.

Atlantic, Nov. 81. p. Christoffer-
son, accused of attempted suicide and
murder, will be taken before the in
sane commission of Cass county to-
day. Information charging him with
insanity will be filed by Nels Hoegh.
Mr.. Christofferson was confined in
the county jail yesterday. He is un-
der the constant guard of deputy
sheriffs. No information has been
filed against him and none will be
until after the hearing before the in
sanity commission this morning.
Christofferson Is considered to be
sane upon all but one or two sub
jects. He has been a man OF large
business affairs in the county and al
so man of good business judgment.
1t is understood that his sanity will
be questioned only on one or two
points, but that an effort will be
made to show that he was wholly
controlled by mania at the time of
the shooting.
In his cell this morning, Mr.. Chris
Jefferson is said to have confessed
to the attempted murder of his wife
and the later attempt upon his own
life. He declared that he was tired
and that he wanted to end it all. He
is not in serious condition.
Mrs. Christofferson is still alive.
There is slight possibility of her re-
covery because of her advanced age
and the long time elapsing between
the time of the shooting and the dis
covery of the affair by neighbors.
Her condition is slightly better to-
day than 1t was late Saturday after
noon.
