MIND WAS BENT
ON SLAUGHTER.
DRUNKEN FATHER TERRoRIzED
HOME AND LANDED IN JAIL
FOR HIS FUN.

Grand Forks, N. D., Feb. S.-De-
claring that he was going to buy q
revolver and shoot every member Of
his family and the entire police force.
Knute Knutson, who was released
from the county Jail after serving a
twenty-day sentence for drunkenness
and disorderly conduct, obtained all
the money that he could lay his hands
on at his home in the north end and
proceeded to go up town to buy the
weapon,
With the money that he had taken
from his wife and little children for
the purpose of purchasing the gun
with which TO end their lives and also
the lives of the police, Knutson got
drunk; very, very drunk and returned
home with nothing more dangerous
thar a severe Jag.
After he had been in the house a
short time, however, he recovered his
senses somewhat and discovered a
large pocket knife in a bureau draw
er. Grabbing this weapon in one
hand and a bottle Of whiskey in the
other he started about the house after
the various members of h family,
all the while declaring that he would
finish the police department after he
had put away his wife and children.
Wife Gave Alarm.
While Knutson was chasing the
children upstairs, Mrs. Knutson got to
the telephone and called the police
station. She informed the officers that
her life was in danger and begged
them to hurry to her assistance.
Patrolman Jack Herrick was de-
tailed on the case and hurried to the
Knutson home. He found the man
making dire threats and cursing loud
ly.
When Knutson saw the big police
man his changed Immediate
". From a would-be murderer he be-
came a crying head of a family who
wanted to do all he could for his lit
tie ones if only given a chance. He
begged the policeman not to put him
in Jail.
The frightened countenances Of the
woman and her children convinced
the officer that Knutson had in reality
been threatening them and the man
was promptly taken to the police sta
ton and locked up.
Given Another Sentence.
Knutson promised and begged, but
to no avail in Magistrate Church's
court this morning and was sentenced
to thirty days more in the county
prison.
Knutson has bothered the police
considerably for several months. He
has been given every chance to make
good the promises that he made each
time arrested for drunkenness, but in
every instance has failed to do the
right thing and support his family.
While Knutson has been participant
ing in numerous sprees, his little
daughters have been helping support
the family and keep some of the
younger children in school, by labor
ing in a candy factory.

Unauthorized Insurance.
The danger of placing insurance
with unauthorized companies is illus
trated by the experience of Mrs. Jo-
hanna WINNER OF Reynolds, N. D.,
whose deceased husband carried a
life policy for $4,000 with an insur-
ance company Of Chicago. This is an
assessment company which has never
been admitted to North Dakota and Is
not under the supervision of the i'm
surance department. After a delay of
six months, Mrs. WINNER, who is
the beneficiary named in her husbands
policy, secured from the company an
offer of $602.0S in fun settlement for
a policy of $4,000. whatever may be
the merits Of this case said Insur-
ance Commissioner Taylor, ut is use
less for the department to attempt to
secure any relief for Mrs. WINNER
because the company in question is
wholly beyond the supervision or au-
thority Of this department. Had the
company been authorized to transact
business in this state the matter would
have been upon an entirely different
footing. Then we could Have required
the company to show by what right
of excuse it Topped $1,400 off a $4,000
policy, and unless it had such right
which may well be ~doubted-it could
be compelled to redeem its obligation"
Office Moved.

Slattery has taken possession of his
