FOUND OUT At LAST.
The Sin Which Followed a Murderer
TO Montana.

Three years ago Rudolph Zimmerman.
wealthy farmer living at Breitenberg,
Bavaria, was murdered and robbed of a
large sum Of money which he carried on
his person. The most careful investiga-
tion on the part of the police failed to
discover the perpetrators of the crime.
At last the secret of the crime has been
divulged by a well known leader of the
demi-monde in Berlin, This woman at
one time lived in Breitenberg, and by
her beauty and attractive manners won
the affection of the Catholic priest of
that parish. In an unguarded moment
he revealed to his mistress one of the
secrets Of the confessional, which was to
the effect that Ernest Snyder was the
murderer of Rudolph Zimmerman; that
he confessed the fact before leaving for
America. In the meantime Snyder had
come to America, and settled in Monta-
ma, embarking in railroad contracts and
succeeding in making a good deal of
money. About a year ago ne fell in with
two brothers of the murdered thinner.
man. and they formed copartnership
for carrying on the business of lumber
ing in the mountains near Bozeman.
About week ago the Zimmerman bro
theirs received letter from relative in
Germany, stating that they were on the
track of the murderer of their brother,
and hoped in their next letter to be able
to state who he was. This letter was
read to their partner, Snyder, who ap-
peared greatly excited and talked inco-
herently when discussing some business
matters, but they suspected nothing.
The next morning Snyder packed his
valise and said he was going out hunt
ing. They thought it strange that he
should dress up in his best clothes and
take satchel with him on a hunting
trip, but still suspected no deeper mo-
tive. After three days absence their
fears were aroused, search was instituted
and their comrade was tracked to a
precipice where broken bushes and
trampled snow indicated a death strug-
gle, and the disappearance over the cliff
Of some one. They took it for granted
that Snyder had lost his life in an en-
counter with bear, returned to Boze-
man, applied for letters of administration
on his property, which the Judge was
about to grant when telegram was re-
ceived from Germany stating that Snyder
was the murderer of their brother Ru-
dolpn. 1t was at once apparent that
Snyder had prepared the evidences of
his death for the purpose of misleading
his partners while he made his escape.
He leaves good sized note book account
and a large amount of other personal
property. The matter of his arrest is in
the hands of skilled detectives who will
spare no expense in hunting him down.

Crystal Wedding.
I. Q.

On Monday night large gathering of
the friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Coop
er made descent on their quiet home,
armed with sundry baskets containing
the good IL ings of this earth and many
handsome testimonials of the esteem in
which this couple was held, who have
lived in Bozeman 80 long The occasion
was the anniversary of their crystal
wedding The presents were numerous
and elegant. Mr. and Mrs. Cooper have
lived all their welded life in Bozeman
and at the same place and it ls safe to
say that no two people have helped more
to adorn the society of Bozeman. The
surprise was perfect and an evening Of
unalloyed pleasure was spent under the
hospltabe roof. We trust they may live
to witness all the wedding festivals in
the calandar and may the sitting splen-
dors of virtuous life gid their depart
ing moments with the gentle tints OF
hope and close their useful career in
peace and harmony.

Katie Putnam.

In fer presentation Of Elena, the Mad
Cap" at Maguire's Opera house on Fri
day night, large audience greeted the
little Montana favorite, and came away
delighted with the performance. Miss
Putnam's light and frivilous personation
of Lena, her quick, saucy replies, her
misunderstanding, and the occasional in
terspersion Of pathos, all were delight
fully entertaining and highly appreciat-
ed The travesty upon the ballroom,
with "Festus" lin female attireJ was kill
ingly clever, and left everybody in the
house sore with laughter. The singing
was fairly good, garnished by Miss Put
nam's gyratory frills and castanet per-
formance they pleased the house very
much Miss Katie is certainly the Sec
ond edition of Lotta, and in many re-
spects equal to Miss Crabtree. The name
Of Miss Putnam brings crowded house
in Bozeman every time, and her man
agement will have no reason to complain
of her reception here this time.

THINGS TERRITORIAL.

All towns in Montana, excepting Boze-
man are organizing clubs of sharpshoot-
ers this spring.
There are sixty-one cases on the Dill
lon docket for the spring term of court
and more are likely to be put on by the
grand Jury, whom the Tribune urges to
take notice of those living in open adul-
terry
Miss Nevada the great Americon song
ster, is sister to the wife of "Muggins"
Taylor, who was shot and killed by a
frenzied brute in Coulson three years
ago, while in the discharge of his duties
as deputy-sherif.
The Dillon Tribune calls the attention
of the Beaverhead grand jury to the
Bozeman indictments for adultery, and
says, DE you duty" which is suggestive
of an immoral condition of affairs at Dill
Ion. Dillon evidently needs the servi-
ces of sneh man as Prosecuting Attor-
ney Blake.
At recent meeting of the Helena
Typographical Union, Sam Leroy was
elected as delegate to the International
Typographical Union of North America,
which meets in New York June lst.
Look cut for wild, blood-curdling stories
in the New York paper about June lst.
The imaginative genius who presides
over the "Bozelnan specials" of the
Pioneer-Press has formulated and for
worded the following: varney & Farrell
of the Madison valley, have just made
shipment of 300 horses over the North
ern Pacific to Miles City. From there
they will be driven north through the
Judith country into the British posses
sions. Parties who are posted claim the
horses are to be used by Louis RiePs adj
herents. A band of 200 more will be
shipped tomorrow to the same destina-
ton.
Early Wednesday morning the people
of Anaconda were startled by a terrific
explosion which shook the entire city.
Scarcely had the sound died away ere
another explosion, much louder than the
first one brought all the people TO their
doors quaking with fear. 1t was thought
at first that the explosion had occurred
at the smelter, but it was soon learned
that China wash house had been blown
to atoms and the inmates horribly man
gled. Four of the six Cinnamon in tie
building are dead. The other two are
not seriously injured. The explosive
was probably giant powder. At the
west side of the building a hole had
been dug first underneath the logs and
pice of giant fuse was found there. The
house is complete wreck. Windows
in the vicinity were shattered and
stones weighing half pound have been
found upon the roofs of buildings two
blocks distant What the motive was
which prompted the distardly deed can
not be surmised, and there is not the
slightest clue to indicate who were the
perpetrators. The dead Cinnamon are
now lying at the restaurant awaiting the
inquest. The excitement about our town
is at fever heat, and should the perpet-
rators be discovered it is doubtful if they
will get trial.--Anacoda Review.

Judge Wade's Adventure.

We have not the slightest doubt, says
the Tranchant, that the instigatars ofthe
scare succeeded in making Judge Wade
and Col. Johnston believe that there was
danger to them IN crossing the range
but we still insist that there was not,
nor can anyone hereabouts be made to
believe it, We have been told that JEFF.
Edmunson and Warfeld were seen on
Beaver Creek about two weeks ago, and
a correspondent of the Inter Mountain
states that there IL a regularly orga nized
gang with Bill Davis lwhoever he may
bel as captain and JEFF Edmunson as
lieutenant. Now, if this is the case,
what are the officers of the law doing
that they make no attempt to capture
these men? 1t would surely be as easy
to find and round them up as it was to
ascertain the whereabouts Of Henry Ed
pnunson and his fellow prisoner, in the
same locality, after their escape from
Jail, especially as some people claim to
know all about their movements, what
they talk about and where they camp
We have been told that one person stat
ed in Helena, a day or two before the
court left there, that he had, with his
feld-glass, looked down into the outlaw
camp on Deep Creek the day before No
one on Deep Creek has seen any trace of
either the camp or its occupants. But,
If this party's story was believed in Hell
ens and the exact location so well
known, why, in the name of common
sense and law and order, was not the
sheriff notified to summon posse to
capture the camp and rid the territory
of the whole gang with one blow, when
such splendid opportunity presented
itself, instead of being summoned merely
to act as escort to the court, allowing the
outlaws to go as they pleased, to further
terrorize the court and pile up expenses
on the counties for future escorts? We
still believe the whole affair to have
beer ridiculous farce which the people
of Meagher county will be taxed to pay
for seeing. Ii the gang were on Beaver
Creek, how isit that Henry Edmunson,
who would know all their old haunts,
could not find them? We know for al
most certainty that Henry was making
for Miles City, where mis- father had one
of the fastest saddle horses in the county
waiting for him. We do not believe
Warfeld is in the Territory at the pre-
sent time, and we have pretty good
authority for the statement that JEFF.
Edmunson has not been, for four months
at least, within fifteen hundred miles of
the Deep Creek range.

The BOzeman Guards.

An attempt is being made to raise a
company OF home guards in Bozeman,
and it is possible that it will meet with
success. There are several young men
here who have belonged TO similar orga-
nlzations elsewhere, who are prime
movers and can instruct recruits in their
duties. Butte, Helena and other points
in the Territory have such companies,
and there is no reason why Bozeman
should not follow their example.
