ARREST KOTUJR
AS MURDERER
Accused of Killing Yoso Bakic
Last Wednesday Night; Is
Held For Hearing

Mikolo Kotur. who boards at 725
rested last night by Constable James
Haines. accused of numbering Yoso
Bakic last Wednesday night.
Bake was found dead the next
morning in front of the row of houses
known as "Murderers Row." An au-
topsy showed that he had several COM
pound fractures of the skull and his
nose and upper jaw were crushed by
blows. Constable Haines has been
working on the case since Thursday
morning and last night obtained
enough evidence to arrest Kotur, who
was held for a hearing.
The authorities learned that Kotur
and Bake had fight last wednesday
night and went outside to have 1t
out" Kotur then beat Bakic to death,
it is alleged and placed the body in
front of the house at 723 South
Third street, where Nick Zutic dlscoN-
cred it the next morning.
Kotur. the accused man, and Bake,
who was murdered, are known by the
foreign residents as bad men. Both
had served time for various offenses,
both serious and of minor importance.
Bake is also said to have killed sew
eral other men. He was arrested on
charge of murder in 1907, but was
acquitted. Later he was arrested on
q charge of stabbing another foreigner
Kotur, too, has a police record, and
only recently was arrested on charge
of larceny, but was discharged because
the prosecutor did not appear at the
hearing.
An inquest into the death of Bakic
will probably be held tomorrow night,
after which Kotur will be given a hear
ing before Alderman Charles Emmett
Murray on a charge of murder The
hearing will probably be held later in

Residents of the little town of Deco
guam are greatly excited over a report
that the du Pont Powder Company has
purchased a large tract of land at that
place for the purpose of establishing
u plant for the manufacture of war
munitions. The report is to the effect
that $4,000 was the price paid for the
land.
Since the du Points established a plant
at Hopewell, Va, there have been many
reports concerning the establishment
of munition plants in this vicinity. All,
however, have proved mere runors. 1t
is stated that land in this vicinity has
been looked over by representatives of

a plant in this section is considered 4
