- l.. Como. his wife, Elizabeth. and
their seven-year- son, Alfred,
arrived in this city on two burros. Jimmie
and Jack. ending journey of more
than 1000 miles from Old Mexico.
To the religiously- minded the arrival
of the refugees recalled that notable
flight Into Egypt 1900 years ago. when

from their own land by threats of death,
travelled far to safety with the aid OF a
donkey.

having narrowly escaped the murd derous
assaults OF the Mexican rebels, and hey-
ing been driven from their home which
they had established after many years OF
hard toll.
Leaving Mexico their objective point
was Brigham City, where Mr.. Conro had
a brother by the name Of Frank Conro.
There is very little known here about
Frank Conro. although he resided here
for some time. He departed two months
ago. S. L. Conro was deeply disap-
pointed when he learned that his brother
had removed from this city.
The Conro party left Salt Lake City
Saturday evening, after having spent
three days there. The last lap Of the
long journey occupied considerable time,
for the party was stopped at all the
towns along the road by curious people.
They visited q family In Weber county
that had relatives In Mexico
The Conros attracted a great deal OF
attention as they proceeded along Main
street. Mrs. Conro was seated on one
burro while the boy rode the other Conro
followed on foot.
Mr.. Como showed the marks of the
long journey, having walked the entire
distance. and when interviewed he eX-
pressed appointment at the absence of
his brother, but said that he conteinplat-
ed making his home here until some time
In September. and would work at any
thing he could get
''In September he added. 81 Will get
assistance from the government" Their
personal effects, which consist OF cloth
ing and a more complete camp outfit, are
