bart are those outlined in a formal
resolution adopted by the slate com
mittee at Des Moines laat January.
Burnquist asserts that the meeting
of the committee was a duly conatit'
uted one, but the senator nascrts that
a number of the members cf the com
mittee already have informed him of
their repudiation of the action.
T
FroiMts over the order of the

made application to use the span but
the county court members point out
that . this heavy trucking, the com
pany usea a hauler with a weight of

iouslj damage the bridge. The court
granted the company permission to
lay a tram across the slough beiide
the bridge but a further application
was made by the company to use the
county span. The firm offered to
erect turnouts as the spsn haa only a

PORTLAND, Ore., March 3. Fed

word any day that the D'Autremont
brothers, charged with murder and
train robbery, have been arrested in
Nicaragua.
It was reported hero today th.U
Postal Inspector Charles B. "Welter
of the force was called Jo the Cen

ago on a not trail.
No word haa come but of the tioy
republic since Welter went away, but
local officers think it possible that
the brothers have been ' located in
Nicaragua or a nearby country.
The recent report that two of th;
suspects were arreated in Mexico dij
not meet with any encouragement
here for two reasons: a numbeT of
federal authorities believe the Nicara
guan report, while Btill others think
the D'Autrcmonts are dead. -
One of the federal officers, who has
been working on the case holds that
the three brothers were killed by their
companion in the attempted train rob
