from the lumber camp in Shapleigh to
Kill Ivory Bocthby and pay off an old

We're in the same Illinois town. The
money that is ITO pay Detective Saville
is to be paid by North Saco people.

him, but if his Investigations in Can

North Saco people who set him at work
are expecting to hear something from
him in a short time now.
