As BIBLE ASKED;
JUDGED. INSANE
Burleigh County Farmer Commit
ted to State Hospital at Re-
quest of Family

Fecause the bible says that man
should be master in his own home,
Chris Rosenau, farmer residing ten
miles northwest of Bismarck, was in
clined to enforce lis dominion with
an iron hand, and after Mrs. ROsenau
had frequently felt the weight OF his
mailed fist, garnering fine collection
of discolored eyes as souvenir OF
her husbands strict adherence to
Biblical teachings, she complained to
Sheriff FyencA impunging the sanity
OF her leige lord and master. Yes
terday afternoon Rosenau was arrest
ed while driving wagon on the road
grading work north OF town; brought
to bismarck, arraigned before an in
sanity board, found demented and
committed to the state hospital at
jamestown.
Rosenau is the father of six chill
dren. Recently he came into the
house, solemnly counted out eight
shells-Mrs. Rosenau took it for grant
ed that one was intended for her, one
for each of the children and one for
Chris himself. She sent the oldest
daughter outside to hide in the weeds,
with instructions to notify the neigh
bors if she heard shots. She did hear
eight in quick succession. Mortified
neighbors who rushed to the scene
expecting to find murdered family
found Chris standing in the barnyard,
where he had fired eight perfectly
good shells into the air, ito show my
neighbors they can't run me-" he said.
Aside from a religious bias, Rosenau
seems to be sane enough but his fam
lily stood in deadly terror of him, and
he is now in safe keeping.
