near Lathrop As the two men rolled over and over on the floor each straining every muscle to win the lunatic made lunge after lunge at the Senator with a carving knife which he had snatched up from the kitchen table How Mr Muenter ever escaped unscratehed he can hardly explain himself He realized that he wan fighting not only for his own life but for that of his wife and children in the other room Mrs Muenter proved herself a heroine too MR MUENTER AROUSED Shortly after 2 o'clock this morning Senator Muenter heard a disturbance in the kitchen which was separated from the bed-room occupied by himself and sick son by the dining-room He stepped Into the dining-room and called out asking who was there thinking at first that maybe one of his hired men was sick and was looking for medicine or aid He received only in a the kits hen from the other room Muenter saw that the mmemecta of the man's arms ere for more than bio a He was lunging at the Senator's chest with a large knife whith he had evidently picked up from the table The cont- aa prolounged for several minutes the men struggling a while resting with unrelated holds and beginning again SHUT OFF 1US WIND Finally Muenter planted hi knees on the fellows neck and the loss of wind began to tell on the murderous lunatic MRS MlENTER'S GRIT Then it was that Mrs Muenter showed her grit Her husband failed in vain for the hired man but It waa the lady who ran and got a strong rope and while her husband held the still struggling insane man she tied his wrists and with a cool nerve followed every direction given her Once the knife dropped from the fellow's hands the binding waa qulikiy completed the hired farmhand having eorne In to aid after the victory was won BOUND HAND AND FOOT Losing the usa of his hands the fellow still employed bis feet and kicked so viciously that another rope was brought and he waa bound hand and foot and lashed Gil he could not move a limbi MRS MUENTER'S EARLY DRIVE Mrs Muenter then got a buggy and while her husband and the farmhand watehed the captive she drove in the early morning hours and before daybreak too to Lathrop and brought Constable Shepherd back Ith her DREW A RAZOR Just as

such He is believed to be a Swiss as he spoke a mixture of Italian and German At the detention hospital the rrazed man had to be put In a straight-jacket MAGNIFICENT PHYSIQUE He was a magnificent specimen of physical manhood and the only wonder expressed by the officers was as to hour Mr Muenter had been able to overcome him Some who saw him thought that his condition might be due to heavy wine-drinking and not to a permanently unsettled mind TUGGED AT STRAPS At the hospital he strained the straps which bound him and bad recurring violent spells Mr Muenter said that undoubtedly if the
