O'Conner's last newspaper venture was
the kalispel Graphic, Of which he and his

He formerly edited n paper at Plainfield,

He came to this place from the SLOGAN
country about 10 days ago. He was figur-
ing on starting q paper at Kaslo, but
failed to raise tho needed financial assist
ance. He was a member of the Knights

here last night and acted in his usual
manner. Tho local knights to-day
promptly communicated with the kalispel
lodge aud received instructions to forwa
the body TO that place. The coroner's IN
quest will be held tomorrow.
OConner Was young man, being less
than 10 years of age. He had tho first pa
per in tho field at kalispel and was an en-

He soon established a splcnded paper
which did good work for tho Flathead
country. He has brother at Kalispel
