The assistant looked up and saw that
the doctor was extremely grave. He

Des Moines, June 30.-Calvin Lit
tlepage, farm hand working one and
one-half miles west of Valley juno
ton. last night shot and killed his
father-in-law, Elmer Jameson, and
Mrs. Jameson, at their home in Dallas
county, eight miles west Of this city.
Following the shooting Littlepage
forced his divorced wife, at the point
of the rifle, to enter his buggy with
him, together with their infant babe,
and drove away with them at break
neck speed in a northwesterly direc-
ton toward Waukee.
The report of the fatal shooting
spread rapidly among the farmers re-
siding in that locality and number
of them saw him passing along the
road None of them dared attempt to
arrest his flight, however, as he car
ried the deadly rifle with which the
murders We're committed across his
knees as he drove.
Posse in Pursuit.
The woman sat with her child
clasped to her breast. apparently In
deadly terror of her impending fate. AS
she passed those farm houses with
which she had been familiar since
childhood the terror-stricken woman
was heard to emit piercing shrieks of
terror as tho in an effort to let her
friends know of her danger.
A posse of farmers with shotguns
rifles, pistols. pitchforks and weapons
of. every description was quickly or
ganized. and started on horseback in
pursuit of the murderer. hoping
against hope that they might be able
to overtake him before he accom-
plished the sacrifice of two more vic
tins.
The authorities at Valley Junction, as

Wife is Held Captive.
Expecting her own fate next, she
grasped the child in her arms and fled
! thru the front door and toward the
road in an effort to escape She was too
late, however, for the murderer had
anticipated the move. and after rush
ing into the rear door ran on into the
front yard. where he caught the won

the yard.
Bringing the weapon which already
accomplished the death of the father
and mother TO his shoulder, he took
deliberate aim at her and ordered a
halt.
Holding up his child in her ans the
mother called upon the Infatuated man
to desist. pleading for the sake of their
former love and that of the infant babe
to go away. But he was obdurate and
apparently insane in his frenzy.
On her knees the woman begged that
she and her child should be spared the
death which had been meted out to her
parents. Telling him that enough in
jury had been done in his murderous
passion, she pleaded for life for herself
and child.
Relenting slightly. he informed her
that only on one condition would he
spare her life, and that was by entering
the buggy with him with the child and
fleeing. With no other alternative but
death. and with the Winchester rifle
yet pointed at her breast, she climbed
into the buggy. her dress hastily
thrown around the child to protect 1t
from exposure.
