track in trying to connect MOLsOu, OF
Ole LOhOnen as he was registered at
the county Jail in Price, with statutory
assault at Bingham conyon some time
ago. The man captured above Hunt
ingtOn is purely a maniac at this time.
but il may be hat there is something
in his past record that unbalanced the
poor fellows mind and brought about
his present condition.
It was about four months ago that
MOnson CT LOhOnen walked into Price
from Grand Junction with a badly fro
zen foot and ears. He applied for q
place to go and was taken to the coun-
ty iai! by Sheriff Hill and given a clean
bcd ard something to eat being allowed
the privileges of the corridor. while
other prisoners were locked up in their
cells over night Later four of the
mans frozen toes were amputated by
the county physician. After he be-
came -convaIescent the sheriff went to
the Jail about four weeks & to serve
the prisoners there confined their
breakfasts. Lohonen was gone, hav-
ing dug out of the brick walls with i'm
PIGMENTS furnished by other prisoners,
supposedly.
Saw Story in Herald.
Nothing was heard from the man and
10 effort to locate him made until the
story in The Herald brought the in
formation that a wild man was living
in the woods above Huntington in the
canyon Then it was hat Sheriff Beebe
OF Emery county and a posse went
there and took MOnsO to the county
Jail at C~astledale. When Lohonen
came into Price it was found out
that he had jumped from a train be-
yond Grand Junction and a taken
to the s~agebrush, as it were. This was
told by trainmen coming through here.
Later it was discovered that the fell
low had a ticket through from some
where in the DdkOtaS, probably Lead
City, and that it read through to Salt
Lake City. On the strength OF this his
trunk was recovered from the Rio
Grande Western depot at Salt Lake
City and shipped back to this place,
where at the time LOhonen was being
cared for by the county authorities. An
examination of the trunk here today
shows that LohOnen paid poll tax at
Lead. S. D., May 81, 1905, for the year
1905. He has also money order receipts
at Lead of the date of Sept. If and is,
1905. in favor Of Maria Lohonen at
Korpolan Kyle, Finland. He also has
papers showing his connection with the
miners union at Lead City, besides nu-
merous other papers with Lead City

Trunk Held at Price.
His trunk is being held by Sheriff
Hill until disposed of by order of the
board of county commissioners. In it is
an enlarged picture Of himself made on
canvas from the photograph accom-
panying this sketch. His clothes and
other contents show him to be a miner.
A couple of days before the man made
his escape from the county Jail at Price
he asked Sheriff Hill when he might
go his way and was told that he might
do so at his own pleasure, but hav-
ing in mind the bad weather at that
time prevailing and the exposure the
fellow had already gone through SheT
if Hill advised him to remain until
he weather had at least moderated.
The photograph from which this
sketch is made was taken by a Lead
City, s. D., photographer n is a
splendid likeness of Lohonen, notwith-
standing the hardships and exposures
he underwent. Considering the elements
and the distance travelled by the man
the night before he broke jail at Price,
the wonder is that he survived at all
He is about SO years of age and above
the average of his countrymen in ap-
pearance he~reabOuts.
Deputy Sheriff Williams of Bingham
Canyon is at Castledale at this time

Telephone communication to that point

not possible to learn whether Monson
will be taken from there to Bingham.
