S. Wincapaw, mining Grass filed court Tuesday Valley engineer, suit in the superior against. W. rr. Carey, the amount 6f $25,000. Charles Gili} more of Sacramento™nis his attorney. Mr. Wincapaw, for six Years superintendent of the Golden ‘Center, the Scotia and Deer Creek mines “oper: ated ‘by the Cooley Butler interests asserts in his) complaint that on December 1, 1937, W. H. . €arey without the knowledge or consent of himself, mailed a letter to a Sacramento paper, purportedly signed by Wincapaw, but without his consent or permission, the letter ing: “We wish to,-announce the appointment of W. H. Carey as superintendent of the Golden. Center, Scotia and Deer Creek mines. Mr. Carey has been assistant superintenden* for several years. He was with the Cooley Butler tendent for a number of years at a copper property in Idaho.’’ “Very truly yours, “GOLDEN CENTER MINES, “L. S. Wincapaw.”’ (Signed). A photostatie copy’ of the letter was filed with the complaint. The newspaper published the letter December 7, 1937, he complaint~charges that the statements made were~false and untrue at the time of writing~said letter, and alleges Carey knew they were false and untrue. He further charges that Carey, in preparing or causing the letter to be prepared, and signing Wincapaw’s name toit, did so with the intent to prejudice and damage him, and with the intent to cause all persons who might read it to believe he had been forced to relinquish his position because of inefficiency and incompetency in disread+tharging his duties a ssuperintendent. For the “intent to injure, disgrace and defame Wineapaw in his reputation, occupation and position’ as mintendent, to plaintiff’s damage, $15,000.”" For ‘wilful, false and malicious acts’’ Wineapaw seeks another $10,000.

Chief of Police Garfield Robson . with the state highway officials reports that at a meeting ofSierra County Board of Supervisors and “state officials in Downieville Tuesday, it was decided to reroute the state highway through Downieville, continuing further up Main street and ‘crossing north fork of the North Fork. of Yuba over the site of the Jersey street’ ‘bridge, which was washed out in the flood. This rerouting of the state highway will call for widening Main side and the will greatly improve Downieville and give motor tourists a much better chance to see the city than the former state highway afforded. In passing through the residence district, the highway. will ‘be widened as well, and fortunately the lots, across the river from the business district, are very deep so that no’ one will be much damaged and the state highway will greatly improve frontage values. The Sierra supervisors tentatively decided to rebuild the bridge across to Durgen Flat, immediately in front of the Lusk garage, at a cost of $12,000. It is proposed to make this a one-way bridge -since the .traffic there never will be very heavy. Many of those who-had-the-rear foundations of ‘their homes swept away by the flood are repairing and remodeling much more substantially than originally was the case.

The fact that the hold up and murder of Christian Meyers took place one mile outside Nevada City’s limits instead of the four miles, that Gwendolyn Boates, his sweetheart reported, when she fled down the toad after the tragedy, delayed the sheriff’s office several hours in their hunt for the Newman brothers. It probably frustrated their immediate capture, but in the long run made the conviction of murder the more certain. For four days later the New~ mans had vanished, and Sheriff Tobiassen instituted a manhunt which included not only this country, but also Mexico and Canada. .The fact that they had fled the scene of their helped to fasten a. conviction guilt in the minds of the jury which rendered a verdict of murder in the first degree. Commenting on the career of the two murderers, Sheriff Tobiassen iold. their story from the time they were 16 years old. It is a story of. reformatories and jails for Merritt Newman, and of miraculous escapes justice on the part of Monte Newman.

Chief of Police Garfield Robson . with the state highway officials reports that at a meeting ofSierra County Board of Supervisors and “state officials in Downieville Tuesday, it was decided to reroute the state highway through Downieville, continuing further up Main street and ‘crossing north fork of the North Fork. of Yuba over the site of the Jersey street’ ‘bridge, which was washed out in the flood. This rerouting of the state highway will call for widening Main side and the will greatly improve Downieville and give motor tourists a much better chance to see the city than the former state highway afforded. In passing through the residence district, the highway. will ‘be widened as well, and fortunately the lots, across the river from the business district, are very deep so that no’ one will be much damaged and the state highway will greatly improve frontage values. The Sierra supervisors tentatively decided to rebuild the bridge across to Durgen Flat, immediately in front of the Lusk garage, at a cost of $12,000. It is proposed to make this a one-way bridge -since the .traffic there never will be very heavy. Many of those who-had-the-rear foundations of ‘their homes swept away by the flood are repairing and remodeling much more substantially than originally was the case.

The fact that the hold up and murder of Christian Meyers took place one mile outside Nevada City’s limits instead of the four miles, that Gwendolyn Boates, his sweetheart reported, when she fled down the toad after the tragedy, delayed the sheriff’s office several hours in their hunt for the Newman brothers. It probably frustrated their immediate capture, but in the long run made the conviction of murder the more certain. For four days later the New~ mans had vanished, and Sheriff Tobiassen instituted a manhunt which included not only this country, but also Mexico and Canada. .The fact that they had fled the scene of their helped to fasten a. conviction guilt in the minds of the jury which rendered a verdict of murder in the first degree.

It is a story of. reformatories and jails for Merritt Newman, and of miraculous escapes justice on the part of Monte Newman.
