knowledge of the Crime.
Butte Mont, Oct. "a special
from Bearmouth to The Miner. gives
the following details of the discovery
OF the double crime at The Conn ranch
on Willow Creek, which was at first
believed TO have been committed by
the bandit who robbed the Northern
Pacific train last week.
A member of a threshing crew on an
adjoining ranch had occasion to visit
the Conn ranch and wnen he entered
the farm house terrible sight pre-
sented itself. On the floor. with the
brains oozing from his head, lay James
Conn dead, with ragged bullet hole
through his temple Near him lay
his mother, her head crushed in with
blunt instrument, presumably the
butt of revolver
AT the time of the holdup of the
Northern Pacific train bloodhounds
were put upon the trail of the robber
and the dogs followed it for several
miles in the direction of Willow Creek
territory, but lost the scent. Those
familiar with the country decided t
the time of the robbery that all prob
ability the outlaw would attempt to
escape that way, as the country is such
as to afford an excellent opportunity
to evaGe capture, being heavily tim
bered.
The discovery Of the crime was
made at o'clock in the afternoon,
and officers are now at the scene.
Near the stable the threshing men met
demented woman who had dwelt
with the Conn family for some time.
This woman killed her husband about
20 years ago, and it is suggested that
she may have knowledge of the TRACE
dy. The scene of the crime is about
30 miles from Beamouth, and details
are meager.
