months under the direction Of Sheriff
Meining in the hope of effecting the
arrest of Rade Popovich, who shot
and killed Nick Brulevich- during a
drunken row over game of cards at

Popovich escaped following the MUIR
der and no trace of him has since been
found. The authorities are convinced
that, shielded by friends and country
men, he has been able to make his way
back to Europe.
Sheriff Meining took much personal
interest in the case. He personally
conducted the hunt for Popovich on
the range and sent pictures and de-
scriptions of him broadcast over the
country.

Walters may be in the city next week.
The beginning Of development work on

and the amount to be removed are not
available, but it is certain the strip
ping will require some time and sever

The general opinion is that the shovels
will not be ready to start before early
in the spring, while the ground may be
cleared of the buildings now ocupy-
ing it sometime during the fall and
