Collins, who lives in Orno township.
Muscatine county, to the effect that

man, it is thought, hailed from this
place or near here, though he was
shipped from Chicago TO work for the
Milwaukee railroad. He was well
dressed and had some money with
him though not very large amount.
He belonged to the Ancient Order of
Hibernians, and there is no one at all

know definitely where he lives.
