of being an accomplice of Jake Grimmet,who was arrested yesterday charged with
the murder of W.H.Alexander, in the Union Lumber Company's camp near this

scured a heavy rasp from the blacksmith's shop and handed it to Grimmett, after
the latter had had a fight with Alexander. It is charged that Simmons also aided
Grimmet to escape from camp.
