Des Moines Bandit Killed.

Hank Hawkins, who was shot and
killed by a Minneapolis policeman
Wednesday while trying to escape
from detectives, was buried in Des
Moines. His mother, broken-hearted
over the misdeeds of her son, made
this request and the Minneapolis
police consented. The body arrived
in Des Moines Friday. g..
Hawkins bride, former Des
Moines telephone girl who ran away
from her mother two weeks ago to
join, him, was found by a Des Moines
newspaper man Thursday morning
peacefully asleep in Minneapolis
apartment unaware that Hankins had
been killed. She was taken to the
morgue where she collapsed when
she gazed upon her husband.
According to word from Mime
apolis, Hawkins died shooting at the
policeman who killed him. He had
been arrested while trying to pawn
diamonds believed to have been
stolen from a st. Paul jewelry store.
He consented to go with two detec-
tives and was in an automobile head
ed for the police station when he
suddenly turned sumorsault
backward and started to run. He
collided with policeman and started
to fire, but his shots were wild and
the policeman shot him down. One
bullet lodged in his jaw, two in the
right arm and the fourth in the
heart. Hankins was trying to raise
his revolver arm to shoot again when
he collapsed.
Hankins died as he had pledged
his underworld companions he would
die, resiscting arrest. There were
four who had promised each other
that they would not be taken alive.
One of them was Tommy o'Conner,
Chicago gunman, who was captured
in the twin cities several weeks ago
and taken to Chicago for trial on a
charge of killing policeman. Tom

wires. Immediately Tommy was no
more. The flash burned him 20
crisp.
AS the current grounded, it broke
an insulator, which caused more fire
works. A wire burned off and fell,
dropping across the back of a steer
standing near the pole. The steer
suffered the same fate as the tomcat.
A wrecking crew was called from
Rockwell City and the damage was
repaired as soon as possible.

History repeats itself. Nero fid-

while Mrs. Smith was playing base
ball at Rock Port. The fire occurred
last Wednesday afternoon. Mr..
Smith was working in the field when
his attention was directed to the
farmstead by the persistent bawling
of a COW. Looking up, he discovered
the house in flames and so far gone
that nothing could be saved.
