ORAM, Mr.

Winnipeg, November 5, The efforts of the Montona 
officers, so far from clearing up the Oram 
mystery, have really deepened it. Sheriff Martin 
believes the other end of this crime is at 
Cokato or St. Paul, Minn.
"Upon my arrival at Stanford." Says the sheriff 
in a letter, "our party immediately commenced 
and investigation. We were informed by Mrs. 
Oram, who arrived not long after us, that late 
in the season she sent her husband from St. Paul 
to sum of $2,600. This money was the proceeds of 
the sale of their restaurant at Cokato, and 
through correspondence the husband and wife had 
decided to purchase and start a business at 
Great Falls. It was with this view that she sent 
him the money. Oram knew well enough that the 
crews of the grading camps were composed of 
touch characters and advised his wife not to 
send a draft, as he would have to go to the bank 
to get it cased and some of those fellows would 
learn of it.
