It has been learned that Ivanich attended a political meeting and that after the meeting adjourned, it is said, told a number of friends he feared going home alone. He never reached his home. He was apparently waylaid and beaten into insensibility and then thrown into the bushes where he died. The motive apparently was not robbery. Some money and jewelry was found in his possession and there was no indication that his pockets had been rifled.
