BRUTE KILLS CHILDREN
Farmer Stays His Son and DAUGHTER
and Then Turns the Weapon
on Himself. .1

Marshalltown, June 9.-Benjamin
Knisely, aged 40, a farmer living
near Beaman in Grundy county, last
night shot and instantly killed two
of his children, attempted to kill two
others, and then committed suicide
by blowing off the top of his own
head. News of the tragedy reached
here today.
According to statements at the
sheriff's Office Knisely first killed
his four year old son with shotgun.
Then he turned on his 15-year-old
daughter, tearing off her arm as she
ran into the house. A shot through
her back killed her instantly. The
man next fired on his 18-year-old
daughter and missing her, turned the
gun on himself. His first : shot
through his own breast failed to kill
and Knisely deliberately blew the
top Of his head off.
Mrs. Knisely was at home, but the
husband made no attempt on her
life. He is supposed to have been in
sane.
At the inquest today, Ella Knisely
testified that her father had been un-
duly intimate with her dead sister.
Cora, and had attempted intimate re-
lations with herself. Mrs. Knisely
took the stand and corroborated her
daughters statements.

Wins Notoriety and Death
in Woman Suffrage Cause
Fanatical Militant Dies OF
Injuries Sustained in
Spelling Derby.

Death came yesterday to relieve the
sufferings of Miss Emily Wlldlng
Dawson. the British suffragette who
was terribly injured last week when
she jumped in front of the kings
horse which was running in the annual
derby race at Epson Downs. She
threw the horse, causing the jockey to
be seriously injured, and was herself
,trampled under the hoofs of the
frightened racer. Little hope for her
recovery was felt from the first. When
able to talk she expressed sorrow that
she had failed to spoil the race and
was unconcerned for either her own
welfare or for that of the unfortunate
jockey.
She belonged to the fanatical wing
of the militant suffragettes and was
under almost constant supervision OF
the police, who afraid that she would
pull off some such stunt as finally re-
suited in her death.
