longer paradox, but an easy possibility.

The Awful Record of Matt Zimmerman
the Cowboy Desperate.

CHEYENNE, Wyo, March 20.-"Matt"
Zimmerman, the cowboy desperate, who
was captured in Utah last Monday, has
been delivered to the Nebraska authorities
and is now awaiting Identification and the
execution of the death sentence thinner
man is young man but his record is a
startling one. Seven years ago. when but

county. Nebraska, in company with Court
ney Belmont, a young Mexican, and stole
big band of ponies. With these they
rode off toward the east and were soon
followed by Sheriff Jack Woods and a
motley posse of cowboys,
Near the hamlet of Minden, in Kearney
county, the stolen ponies were found at a
pasture on the prairie and while his men
were busy securing them Woods and one
deputy rode into town to look for the
thieves. They found them at supper at
the Prairie Home Woods, without much
thought of resistance, went to the door OF
the dining room, gun in hand, and sung
out for the desperadoes to surrender.
Quick as flash Belmont. who had his
and poor Woods fell dead. Zimmerman
made an equally quick shot, winged the
deputy and then both rushed for the door.
As they were leaving the room they fired
another volley as if to inUimidate any
one from following them and K.
3. Kelly, q guest who was trying
to get his wife slowed away out
of danger was killed. On the porch they
met John Collins, a mail carrier, who had
just driven up, and deliberately shooting
HIM down they rode off toward the Kansas
line. There was general turnout in pur-
suit, and even the state militia were or
dered to join in the hunt. A week later
Belmont was killed by farmer named
stopped. Zimmerman, who seemed to be
completely unnerved by his partners
death, was easily captured. He was taken
back to Minden, tried and sentenced to
death, but the supreme court reversed the
verdict on the ground that as Sheriff
Woods had no warrant Zimmerman and
Belmont were justified in resisting arrest.
A second trial was had and again cOnyic-
ton followed, and the death sentence was
imposed. Again the supreme court
reversed the findings. Back Zimmerman
went before the same judge, Gaslin, and
for the third time he was found guilty and
sentenced to be hanged. The usual ap-
peal to the supreme court was taken and
while it was pending the prisoners lawyer
hit upon a novel method of securing his
clients release. He succeeded in convinc-
ing United States commissioner that he
had the right pending the hearing to ad-
nit Zimmerman to bail He fixed the
bonds at $4,000 Straw bail was furnished
and Zimu erman levanted. This was four
years ago and nothing was heard OF Zlm-
norman until his recapJUre in Utah last
Monday. Meantime his case has been de-
cided against him and the chances or his
being hung are very strong.

MORE COMPLICATIONS.
West Virginia Republican Legislators
Refuse to Recognize Gov. Wilson.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, March 20-It is
reported here today that the Republican
members of the legislature have entered
into an agreement after thorough can
vass of the political situation to refuse TO
obey the call of Governor Wilson for an
extra session of that body on the ground
that he is not the lawful governor of the
state and is therefore without authority to
issue such cali. This determination has
reached the ears of the Democrats and has
kicked up an immense hubbub. While
the Democrats have one majority in the
house they are two in the minority in the
senate, and they are trying tonight TO ar
range to combat this new movement of the
opposition. 1t is likely should the Repub-
licans fail to respond the sergeant-at-arms
will be sent to arrest them at their homes
and this might easily precipitate trouble.
