Cowboy Zimmerman Reaches the End
OF His Tether After Years OF Crime.

lHENENNE, MarCh 70.
Matt Zimmeran, the COW boy desperate
captured in Utah last Monday has been de
hvered 10 the Nebraska authorities and i.
awaiting Identification and execution o; death
sentence. Seven years ago when but 10 be
rsided ranches in Hitchcock county, Nebras-
ks, in company with Courtney Belmont. a
Young Mexican and stole band of ponies.
With these they rode of toward the east, fol
lowed BY sheriff Woods and posse of cow
boys. Near Meriden, kesrney county. the
stolen ponies were found at pasture on the
prairie. While the men were securing them
the sheriff and deputy rode into town to look
for the thieves and found them al supper in
the Prairie house.
Sheriff Woods went to the door of the din
ing room with his gun in his hand and sang
out for the desperadoes TO surrender. Bel
mont, who had pistol lying on his lsp, made
a snap shot and Woods fell dead. thinner
man winged the deputy and both rushed for
the door As they were leaving the room
they fired another volley. K. b. Kelly, a
guest who was trying to get his wife ont of
danger, was killed. On the porch they met
ohm Collins. mail carrier, and deliberately
shooting him down rode off tossrd Kansas.
One week later Belmont was killed by
farmer named Foutz, at whose house the
thieves stopped. Zimmerman seemed com
pletely unnerved BY his partners death and
was easily captured, taken back TO Wlnden,
tried and sentenced TO death. The Supreme
Court reversed tie verdict on the ground as
Sheriff W ood had no warrant Zimmerman
and Belmont were justified in resisting arrest.
The second trial resulted in convictions
and again the Supreme Court reversed its
findings. Back Z,mm rmsn went before
the same Judge Gasla and a third tune
found guilty and sentenced to be hanged,
The usual appeal to the Supreme Court was
taken. While pending the prisoners lawyer
hit upon a novel method for securi x his
clients release. He succeeded in convinc-
ing the United States Commissioner that he
had the right pending a hearing, 10 admit
to bail. He fixed the bonds al
SIC 0uO and straw bail was furnished. Zim-
norman levanted. This was nearly four
years ago and nothing was heard of Zimmer-
man until his recapture in Utah last Monday
Meanwhile his case was decided against him
by the Supreme Court. The chance of his
being hanged is very strong.
