"Sir," said he, "I am a man of high aspirations and peregrinations and can have nothing to do with such low-down scopangers as yourself. Good morning, sir!" It may be presumed that both spoke in jest, because they became inseparable companions and the best of friends. McConnell had a tragic ending.
"His family in Tennessee are highly respectable and quite numerous. The information as to the manner and particulars of his death I learned from Mr. Voorhies, who reported it to me as he had heard it in the streets. Mr. McConnell removed from Tennessee to Alabama some years ago, and I learn he has left a wife and three or four children." Poor Felix Grundy McConnell!
The literary staff included four of the Brothers Mayhew Henry, Jules, Horace, and Augustus, two of whom, Jules and Horace, became godfathers to my father's first children by his second wife. Portch, Andrews, Duncan, Skelton, Bennett, McConnell, Linton, London, and Horace Harrall.
The rumors woke to passionate loyalty the hearts of the pioneers; and a roaming party of hunters, when camped on a branch of the Elkhorn, by the hut of one of their number, named McConnell, called the spot Lexington, in honor of the memory of the Massachusetts minute-men, about whose death and victory they had just heard.

A few days later they were in the Hopi towns, to which the three much-traveled Indians preceded them, in eagerness to see their people again. Only two days were spent with the Indians and on April 15, taking Haskell, Hatch and McConnell, the party struck toward the southwest, to find the Beale road.
The prosecution witnesses disagreed as to the number of lines of deputies stretched across the back and sides of the open space on the dock, the statements varying from one to four files. Chad Ballard, Harry Gray, and J. D. Landis, of the Seattle police detective bureau, and J. G.

McConnell concerning our trip down to Sacramento that was of great value to us. He directed us by way of Scott's Valley, and told us we need not have any fear of trouble with the Indians, which was a great relief to us at that time. We found it a splendid trail, and made the trip from the mining camp to Sacramento in nine days. Mr.
