Conow's S History

Last week we made mention Of the
fellow Conow who is held at Florence
under suspicion of having murdered
Pat Campbell the Homesteader twshp
farmer Conow gives the following
account of himself which may be of
interest TO any one here who knew the
man
In an interview the suspect said he
came to this country eight months ago
from Russian Poland. AFTER spend ing
one month in Milwaukee he was sent
up north by an employment agency
and worked for time in mines around
Crystal Falls and Amaea He then
drifted 20 Niagara and went back 90
Crystal Falls on Christmas, end from
there he went by train 10 Quinnesec
and then Dack to Niagara again. His
stay there was very brief, he leaving
the next day TOR Dunbar and worke
in camp No two days. During the
ensuing week he wandered from one
camp TO another and claimed 10 nave
slept IN an old abandoned camp on
Friday night This place is in the
vicinity of the Fink and Campbell
farms, but the shrewd suspect would
not admit that he met Pat. Campbell
on that evening The sheriff and Off
GERS secured Conow's shotgun. but the
fellow said he had thrown the satchel
away. The man is poor specimen of
either miner or lumberjack he is moth
ing more than a wandering hobo, who
preferred begging for food and lodging
rather than 10 obtain work, at least
not for more than day or two at
time.

payers are for have heard great
mahy of them express themselves. As
you say the thing ought TO be made an
issue and the people ought to express
themselves upon IL.
Since last week we have learned
moie abont the contract than we knew
before. We learn that Of the s. 600
which the concern was to get for doing
the work, 81 600 have been paid aud
$500 more is now due and, although
the work Is shut dwon and they were
paid $3.50 extra as bonus 10 allo@
the city TO close ,he work until next
June. the Falkeneau people are red hot
after the city TO pay the other $500
which, " paid would make 81, 75O that
have been paid. this concern for doing
absolutly nothing. This amount in
cludes. of course, the $3.50 blood money
paid them to suspend the WORK.
Our readers must understand that
this 81. 75O is over and above the salary
paid the superintendents for standing
around an looking wise down at the
water plant or the laundry bills, livery
bills. postage. etc, that has been paid
them.
