LOOKS BAD FOR
WOOD BLOCKS
HEAVY RAINS IN BIRMINGHAM
CAUSE THEM TO SWELL, Ac-
coRDIN0 TO STATEMENT BY
PAPER OF THAT CITY.

The following is taken from the
Birmingham Age-Herald OF yester-
day:
The wood blocks on Highland
avenue are riding the street car line
like hand cars, and seem to be de-
termined to rise up high enough to
stop traffic. The rains have swollen
the blocks so badly that they have
curved up to great heights, sufficient
to make traffic dangerous and action
immediate.
This is not the first time the new
style pavement has arisen to show its
swell appearance. In fact, for a serY-
ant, it's antics have been entirely too
joyful, and the Highland avenue peo-
pie are thinking Of dismissing them
at the earliest possible moment.
The blocks are swollen more gen.
orally than ever before and each day
more Of them pop up. Luckily, this
pavement is only used inside the car
tracks, and the pavement otherwise is
in good shape. 1t will probably re-
quire a considerable time to get the
swollen blocks back to their natural
positions.

ward, his adpoted daughter, Clara

CLAIMED COAL LANDS
st. Paul & Manitoba Railroad Sc.
lections Examined and Have
Been Reclassi6ed.

Lewistown Daily News: On Tues
day before Register Mckoin OF the
Lewistown land office, was brought
the case Of the government against
the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Mani
toba railroad. The case involves the
classification and holding of several
large tracts of land included in the
selection of the railroad granted by
the government in 1907. The con-
tention Of the government is that
the land is coal bearing and an
attempt will be made to grant
only surface rights to the railroad
or to authorize new selections. The
railroad company contends that the
reclassifcation of the lands in which
coal was discovered was mand after
the selections made by the COM
pany and that consequently the
company is entitled to its holdings
without reservation.
The lands have been inspected by
Geo. r. Sheldon and c. D. Avery,
mineral inspectors of the general
land Office who appeared before
register McKoin with plats of the
land and surveys made showing in
detail the character of the lands in
question.
In the locality of these lands are
found the Joe Seaman mines, and
the Sam Schultz mines, as well as
the shafts and mines of the Cotton
wood coal company, and the rail-
road selections are said to be OF
exactly the same nature as these.
Hamilton Wright, special agent ol
the general land Office at Helena ap-
peared in the case for the govern.
ment and Edward Rrassey acted as
counsel for the company. It is
expected the case will be concluded
and decision given some time
today.

was wrong. They went to the house

peck had barricaded the door and re-

broke in and arrested him after
Kopeck tried to slash himself with
a knife. Seeing nothing Of the
woman a search was instituted with
the result that within a very short
time the body was found in the old
channel of the river little east Of
the camp. It is thought that the
murder was committed the night
before. The body was brought to
Roundup for the coroner's inquest
and was inferred in the Roundup
cemetery Wednesday afternoon.
Mrs. Kopeck was about As years
ofage and had been married once be-
fore, several children of which un-
ion are living with relatives in the
old country. They had no children
here.
Kopeck was taken to Lewistown
Tuesday morning where he will be
examined as to his mental condition

burn up Tuesday evening, and for
short time threw up tower of
flames worthy Of greater things.
When the fire was first seen from

blew, the switch engine footed and
Cal Millard shot his revolver into
the air, and in about two minutes
there were more people across the

from catching adjoining buildings

appeared very shortly. and was
turned on the flame. A hose was
brought from the mine boilers, and
it's stream was turned on the parties
operating the chemical engine. The
hose then burst and wet several Of

lemen fought for the privilege, the
two streams quickly put out the fire,
and our city again subsidized into

W0hAh'5 b0D1 FOUND N LAGOON
Mrs. Frank Kopeck Believed to Have
Been Murdered and Body
Thrown Into Water.

The body Of Katrina Kopeck was
discovered floating in the lagoon be-
tween here and the Roundup Coal
Co. s mine last Saturday morning,
it being very evident from the con-
|dition Of the body that she had been
murdered and afterwards thrown
into the water by her assailant
The authorities at Lewistown were
notified and Sheriff Martin, Coroner
|Creel and County Attorney Huntoon
came down the same evening to in
'vestigate the case. An autopsy
was held over the body it being
plainly shown that the woman had
not met her death by drowning.
Bruises on the throat and other
marks Of violence lead to the belief
that Mrs. Kopeck died as a result
of strangulation. A coroner's jury
was impaneled which returned a
verdict of murder.
Suspicion points very strongly to
the husband of the woman who
acted very strangely previous to and
after the murder. About a month
ago Kopeck was adjudged insane
and was sent to the state insane
asylum where he remained until
two weeks ago when his wife
secured his release, it being believed
that he had been restored to his
right mind. The couple lived at
the Number Three Mine where Ko-
