BIG HUNT FOR

Officers Looking for Him Alive and

Searching Woods for His
Dead Body.
HE SHOT HARRY LARSON
Mind Was Unbalanced, and Most Peo-

on Other Men.
HE SHOT HARRY LARSON

| A searching party worked energet
ically Sunday dragging the waters OF
the bay formed in Lake keokuk at the
mouth of Larry's creek, in the shadow
of Mount Moriah, looking for any
traces of Hawley knipe.
They did not find any traces OF the
body, and Knipe has disappeared com
pletely as a sequel to his shooting
Harry Larson, another young man OF
the Sonora community.
A report that the hat and coat OF
lKnipe was found on the bank OF the
Mississippi river on the shore OF the
lake gained wide circulation but had
little basis in fact. The only marks
found were footprints which are be-
lieved to be Knipe's.
The woods and brush Of the Mount
Moriah neighborhood were thoroughly
searched as well as the waters OF the
lake, in a determined effort to lind
Kntpe dead or alive.
1t is thought very probable that he
committed suicide, but he may have
escaped from the county and be on
his travels to a distant cline.
Insane for Some Time.
Knipe has been acting queerly and
has been called nervous for a long
time.
But because he was generally good
'natured. his family and the nefghbors
considered him harmless, and no eff
fcrts were made to restrain him, or
place him in a sanitariun-
The result of this leniency was the
shooting of Larson and the possible
tragedy OF Kntpe himself in the bay
of Lake Keokuk
At the same spot where the drag
ging OF the water was done, a sister
of his victim, Larson, committed sui
eide by drowning about a year ago.
Shot Him Twice.
Knipe shot at Larson three Hines
with a shotgun. hitting the mark
twice. hitting Larson in the right side,
the back, arm and hand.
Larson was brought 10 Keokuk

Just at the time when the United States Government
