Montana, last week by a worthless
character named Thomas Salmon. Mr..
O'Connor was superintendent of the
Rocky Fork Mining company at Red
Lodge. His murderer was for a time
in his employ, but was discharged ow-
ing to his laziness and incompetency.
The murder was in spirit of revenge.
Salmon surrendered to the sheriff
after he committed the deed. Mr..
O'Connor was the founder of the city
of Red Lodge, and an indcfatigable
worker in everything pertaining to the
welfare of the new city. Twice he was,
without opposition, elected mayor of the
city, being its first chief executive. He
refused to accept a third term. The
Red Lodge Daily Picket, editorially,
pays glowing tribute to the career of
the deceased and tells of the sorrow
and Indignation Ills cruel and early
death has caused. O'Connor is sur
vived by his wife and small family.
