Des. Moines People Killed.

Des Moines, May 7.--(Special)-
Russell Andrew Knouf, aged % years,
and little son, Floyd, aged months.
died from the effects of injuries receiv,
ed when the house in which the fam.
ily consisting of Mr. aud Mrs. Knouf
and the little child, was torn from it's
foundation and converted into pile of
ruins by gthe tornado which struck Des
Moines late yesterday afternoon and
desolated at least two homes. The
home of Richard Wallace. carpenter.
which was located near the Knouf cot
tage, was wrecked and burned and Mr.
Wallaces little daughter, aged three
years, persisted in the flames.
4 The tornado came upon South Des
Moines suddenly, sweeping down over
the hills that surround the town.
The Knouf home was the first that was
struck and the terrific force of the
storm caught it up from it's founda-
lions while the three members of the
family were inside, just preparing to
leave for a neighbours house, which
they considered more safe Mr.. Knouf
who was carrying the baby, was bur.
led under the ruins of the cottage and
when found he was dead. Mrs. Knouf
was taken from the ruins of the once
happy home and was found to be only
slightly injured, but is frantic with
grief over the death of her husband
and little ore.
Second Little Child Killed.
The second house to be struck was
that of Richard Wallace. The build
ing was utterly wrecked by the wind
and the ruins caught fire in some un
known manner. All the members OF
the family escaped with the exception
of the little 3-year-old daughter, who
was burned to death in the ruins of the
house.
Much Damage Done.
The city sustained much financial
loss on account of the storm and tele
phone and Geographic communication
is greatly impaired. The streets

accompanying the wind storm was ter

berry of Sullivan Family at Hamilton

Creston, May q. = (SpeciaD =
A movement has been insti.-
tuted in this city looking to
the release from the Fort Madison
penitentiary of Frank Baird, the Cres-
ton man who, after being shot nearly
to death, was found guilty of partic
patton in the Sullivan robbery at
Hamilton and was sentenced to serve
term in the penitentiary. The case
attracted wide attention at the time OF
the robbery and again when it was
tried at Knoxville, and the sympathy
of many who knew the circumstances
was and it still with Baird, who refus-
ed to give information that would lead
to the capture of his pals" If he had
any.
1t is stated by Creston people who
should know, that if the case is again
brought to trial Baird will introduce
some evidence that will prove a sur
prise to nearly everyone. 1t is alleg-
ed that he refused to testify so as to
implicate any others in the crime be,
cause ex-United States Marshal Bill
Richards was at liberty at the time OF
his (Bairds) trial Richards has been
arrested on the charge Of taking part
in the robbery of the Sullivan family
and this may have unsealed Baird's
lips, it is thought.
Bond is Decreased.
Judge Gamble before whom the case
was tried. has reduced Bairds appeal
bond from $1,000 to $500 and sever
al prominent citizens of Creston have
signified their willingness to sign the
papers in order to set the man free
until his case shall have been takeI
! to the supreme court and finally de
| cided or sent back for a new trial il
| the lower court.
| The people of Iowa still remembe
| the Sullivan robbery at Hamilton ant
remember that Baird, who was sho
| by P. Sullivan while escaping from the
house of the latter after having assist
ed in securing several hundred dollars
was strangely silent during his tria
and would not divulge the identity o
these who We're with him at the time
the robbery was committed.
