Mike KolovIch, at Large Since the At

to Have Made
Escape.
NO HOPE FOR CAPTURE
Owing to Circumstances Connected
With the Case, Koiovich's Capture
Is Remote Pos

The search for Mike Kolcyich. the
Austrian wanted here for the murder
OF Lula Cankavic at Nagefs camp
above the second lock. on the after
noon of July 4th. has been abandon
ed as far as the underhrush and
neighboring camps in the vicinity are
concerned. Unless Kolovich is cap
tured in another city. it is barely pos
sible that he win ever be apprehend-
ed.
Local officers who have been inter
ested IN the killing. and who have
sought TO capture the fugitive. have
been Handicapped in more WAYS than
one In the first place. riot call
was turned in on the afternoon of the
killing. and by the time the officers
HAD collected. the murderer had q
good start of them. In addition. the
killing being among Austrians. little
information could be secured. and
what was secured from the Austrians
vas generally wrong
1t is thought that Koloyich. iname-
diately after the killing. hid himself
IN the underbrush to escape the Off
GERS and after securing a change o.
clothing. probably escaped TO some
other place Officers IN other cities

Frequently insufficient postage is

many OF these cards find their way
