A DIVIDED VERDICT.
The Jury Find HeiIman Guilty and Sets
Powell Free.


Powell Free.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Philipsburg. Dec. 16.-The jury in the
case of the state against Ed Heilman
and Charles Powell, after being nut "A
hours, this afternoon returned ia YER
dict finding the defendant Powell not
guilty, and the defendant Heilman
guilty Of grand larceny. and fixing the
punishment at Imprisonment in the
state prison for one year. The defend
ants were charged with the larceny N
killing of a heifer belonging to Hiram
Thomas n Frank Carnegie. Accord
ing to the evidence II appears that
this particular heifer had been Of a
very wandering disposition and refus-
ed To stay on the range with the rest
of the herd. thus causing the owners
much trouble and thus enabling the
latter to identify the hide when they
saw IL. The stock detective testified
that he had been informed that on the
18th day of September last a heifer had
been killed on Heilman's ranch. hat
he proceeded to go there and listing
the place where the slaughtering was
done found a beef head bu could find
no hide. He then went to Heilman and
asked to be shown the hide and was
old that the hid had been placed on a
fence upon which it was customary to
place hides when any ~slaughtering was
done on the ranch. but upon proceeding
to that place no hide was found. He'll
man was placed under arrest and taken
10 New Chicago. The detective re-
turned to Heilman's ranch and found
Charles Powell to whom he said:
Your uncle has given the whole snap
away n wants you to show me the
hide"
Powell went to a barn and in the hay
loft. covered with chaff and hay, a
hide into which two large holes had
been cut on the right side and one on
the hip. was found. The hide also had
a waffle on the right shoulder. Powell
was also placed under arrest. Ii ap-
peared that Thomas and Carnegie
branded on the right side and on the
hip at o the places where the holes
in the hide We're, also the waffle on the
right shoulder. The defense Of Heilman
was that he also branded on the right
side and hip, also wattled on the right
shoulder. But il seems that he cropped
n ear and the hid found had not any
cropped ears. The defense also made IL
appear that Heilman was drunk at that
time and did not know anything about
the killing. The defendant himself tes-
titled that he cared more for n bottle
Of whiskey than he did for his house
and hat he had been drunk ever since.
He appeared drunk in the court room
and when the verdict was rendered he
was evidently too drunk to realize the
full meaning of ID.

 Lord Salisbury then alluded to the rapidity and uneXpectedness with which wars break out and said: If Great Britain ever permit her self-de- lenses to weaken her whole empire would come clattering to the ground. It is, therefore, impossible in the pres ent state and temper of the world to intermit our naval and military pre- cautions
 He concluded by repudiating "all suggestions that the present prepara- tions mean that the country is ami mated by the lust of conquest or a love of wars" declaring that Great Britain was only resolved to main tain the empire Britons have received from their forefathers and to support the peace which is the glory and sus- tenance of our empire"

SLAIN BY CHINESE
 ON HAWAII ISLAND
William Duguid Interferes to Stop a Fight and Receives a Fatal
 Blow on the Head.

HONOLULU, Nov. Civilian Duguid, a Scotchman, was murdered at Waikea plantation, Hawaii, on the evening of Oc- Iober 24. He was luna over a gang of Chinese here, and had been employed only a fortnight. His prolonged absence from the supper table caused alarm to his friends, and on their searching for him he was found in the cane field with his head battered in with a cane hoe. Two Chinese out of gang of twenty-seven have been arrested on suspicion.
 From the accounts so far received, Du- guid interfered in a duel between two Chinese and received the fatal wound. He was a very quiet. kindly and inoffensive man, and no motive can be assigned for the crime, as his money was not touched and he had never i'll treated his men dur ing the short time he had been with them.
