CONN GIVES HIMSELF UP

Helmrille was startled carly yester-
day morning by a tragedy. W. &.
Woolford, a we'll known business man
of that town, was shot and killed by
his business partner, w. r. Conn.
The murder was the result of a bust
ness quarrel. The two men were part
ners in the ownership of a saw mill,
which is located at the Blackfoot river
They were both in the office and were
quarreling when, for some unknown
reason, Conn pulled a revolver and shot
Woolford through the left side of the
head. AS far as can be learned. there
were no blows exchanged between the
two men.
Immediately after the murder Conn
left the saw mill and went and gave
himself up to Deputy Sheriff Tom Null
lin at Helmville. He said he had killed
Woolford, but made no statement as to
why he murdered his former partner.
w. B. Woolford, the victim of the
tragedy, was a married man and had
several children. His family resides at
Helmville. He bore the reputation of
being man who often made gun
plays and he was far from being
cautious man with firearms He was
in partnership with Conn in the saw
mill business, and as far as was known
the firm was prosperous No one in
HelmVile ever suspected that the two
partners were not on very good terms
and they had never been known to
quarrel.
w. r. Conn is an unmarried man. 35
years of age, and bears an excellent
reputation in HelmvilIe, although he
has resided in that town but a short
time. He, for many years. resided in
New Chicago and Drummond, where
he is well and favorably known. He
is a polite and sober man and is far
from being qUarrelsome. His friends
have never suspected that any ill-feel-
ing existed between him and Woolford
Coroner Hardenbrook of this city was
notified last evening of the murder. but
the town being so far, he authorized
Justice of the Peace r. 3. Mannix to
hold the inquest.
County Attorney j. H. Duffy was also
Informed of the tragedy and he ordered
that the prisoner be brought to this
city for preliminary hearing.
Conn will beata15ep Ito sDrummond to-
day by Deputy She riff Tom AIullin and
there he will be met tonight by Sheriff
Jack Conley, who will take the prisoner
IN charge and take him to Anaconda.
