MUST SERVE Time
State Agent After Prisoner Who
Is Finishing Sentence.
PAL IS IN PRISON ON COAST
One Of the Prisoners II Developed
Had Been In Sing Sing and Had
Escaped BY Swimming the
East River.

Des Moines.-Charles Sullivan,
state agent, has gone to New York to
bring back to Iowa Thomas Osborne
who violated his parole by abscond-
ing.
Osborne is one of three New York
City youths who were sent to prison
from Polk county for breaking and
entering. The history of their crime
is one which aroused the sympathy OF
the board of control soon after their
commitment.
Osborne and the other two. Murphy
and Ryan, had left New York City
late in the fall and started west.
They had worked along enroute. They
left Chicago in December in a box
car. Before they reached Iowa, the
weather turned bitterly cold.
The three landed in Valley juno
ton late one night half frozen and
nearly starved. They walked by the
dining room of Valley Junction ho-
tel. 1t was deserted, but the lights
showed the tables set. The sight was
too much for the youths. They went
dIOuhu W thC OdSh Gnu Vi thC paw
and broke in. They took food and
some cheap jewelry. The next day
they pawned the jewelry. They were
arrested almost Immediately, indict-
ed, found guilty and sent to the re-
formatory for an indeterminate sem
tence up to ten years.
Murphy, 1t developed, had been in
Sing Sing and had escaped by swim
ming the East river. He was kept in
the reformatory until two years and
six months after his commitment and
paroled. He absconded.
Osborne had some difficulty obey
ing prison rules and had to stay in
two years and nine months. He was
in place where many paroled men
had made good. He stayed only a lit
tie while. before the call of his home
state became too strong for him to
resist and he absconded. In New York
he got into fresh trouble and landed
in the Eastern reformatory. He is just
finishing his time there. When he
gets his release, he will be met in
the warden's office by the Iowa pa
role agent and will come back to
finish his ten year sentence for the
Iowa crime.
Murphy is in the California prison.
He, too, will have to come back to
finish his term in Iowa, when his
service in the penitentiary out there
is concluded.

BURIED HEAD DOWN IN RUINS
orinnell Graduate Of 49, Recalls cyc-
lone That DESTROYED Old Col
lege Building.

Grinnell.-A thrilling first hand
narrative of the great Grinnell cyclone
Of 1882 was given to an interested
group OF listeners by one who went
through its perils and has lived to
attend the thirty-third anniversary of
the graduation Of his class at Iowa
college. Henry r. Baker, Grinnell 80,
who lives at Penacook, N. D., and is
spending few days renewing old col
lege acquaintances during the COM
mencement week at his alma mater,
told how he tried to escape from the
upper floor of the old west college,
but was carried into the basement
when the building collapsed and bur-
led there head down In the ruins.
A heavy stone window sill fell
across his chest and nearly crushed
it, but prevented the other wreckage
from falling on his body and thus
probably saved his life. Three and
one-half hours passed, with Baker in
an unconscious condition and buried
head-down in the ruins before he was
rescued.
A literary society was In session on
the top floor of Central college, which
stood where Blair hall now stands
when the cyclone approached. Most Of
the members stayed where they were,
but two tried to escape from the
building. They were caught by the
great wind and carried more tnSa u
block and set down on the railroad
tracks. One of them died within q
few hours from the effects of his in
juries. All the buildings OF the college
were completely destroyed and the
town nearly wiped out OF existence
by the great storm.
