had wronged him by seducing his
daughter and whipping of his sons
until he became a cripple for life. At
no time did he express regret for the
deed, saying he was justified and ac-
tually forced into it by the refusal OF
the officers Of the law to afford him
protection against the continued at
tacks of Reider, who prosecuted him
in various ways, killing his stock and
insulting him every time they met.
Shortly before Zehetmeier killed

Game Warden Has Hard Time Arrest
ina italian Poachers.

Because Rosebud county is in the
anomalous position of having no JUS
tice of the peace, Deputy Game War
den Charles l.. Smith was compelled
to return from Forsyth last week with
out having been able to secure war
rants for a couple of men who had
been killing game Illegally. Temper
arily he had to acknowledge himself
beaten, but not defeated.
Last Monday when Judge Loud con
vened the district court here Mr..
Smith appealed to him for the neces-
sary warrants, Rosebud forming a
part of this judicial district. Upon
the presentations made to the court
the warrants were issued and the
warden left Tuesday morning for Gar
ryowen, a station on the Burlington
in Rosebud county, near where the de-
PENDANTS were employed as section
hands. Mr.. Smith found his men and
boarded a northbound train and re-
turned with his prisoners the same
day. The next morning he took them
to Forsyth and turned them over to
the authorities of Rosebud county.
The prisoners gave their names as
Paica MARCEL and l.. Daulaca. They
had $3.50 between them and offered to
deposit the amount as security for
their appearance, but the sheriff was
not authorized to accept the bond.
Tomorrow is the day fixed for the
arrangement of the men, as the judge
will then be at Forsyth to open the
district court for that county.
No provision being made by which
the warden could get the necessary
money for paying the fares Of the pris-
oners, he was obliged to go into his
own pocket and buy tickets for himself
and the men, and trust to the commits
sioners of Rosebud county for reim-
bursement.
The person who made complaint to
Mr.. Smith declares that the Italians
killed an entire coyey Of ducks several
days before their shooting was law
full and also AYERS that they repeatedly
shot prairie chickens out of season.

ACQUITTED BY JURY.
William Lockridge Not Guilty Of Re.
nnnAinr nuaranfino Chonn

William Lockridge Not Guilty of Re-
moving Guaranteed Sheep.
After a trial lasting all day and
part of last night, William Lockridge,
who was arrested on a warrant issued
at the instance Of Doctor Knowles,
state veterinarian, charging him with
removing quarantined sheep, was ac-
quilted by a jury.
The trial took place before Justice
Mann on a change of venue issued by
Justice Fraser, before whom the ac-
ton was instituted.
Lockridge testified that he had been
given permission by Deputy Sheep In
spector Smith to make the removal.
This was denied by that official, while
Doctor Knowles also said that no per-
mission had been granted and that
the sheep had been removed in direct
violation of the law and regulations
Of his department.
The six men who were ~empanelled
as a jury to try the cause seemed to
place more confidence in the state
ments of the defense than in those OF
the prosecution and acquitted Lock
ridge.
County Attorney Harris and Judge
Goss appeared for the state, and F. H.
Hathhorn for the defense.
The alleged offense was. said to have
been committed on or about July 20,
when Lockridge is said to have re-
moved about 5000 sheep from a sec
ton described in the complaint as
situated between the eastern boundary
line of Yellowstone county and the
mouth of Buffalo creek on the west
and a straight line north to the Mus
selshell river, which at that time was
under quarantine.

Pr Use NEW CHURCH
AT MONTE RIO PARK
Episcopalians Plan to Erect Sacred
Edifce and Strong Support
Has Been Given.

The Episcopalians are planning to erect
a house Of worship at the new cottage vii
lage of Monte Rio Park on the Russian
River in the mountains of the western
part of Sonoma County. The Rev. o.
Parker, archdeacon of Sacramento. was
a visitor In San Francisco yesterday in
the interests of the new project He in
terviewed the officials of the North Shore
Railroad and land companies, where he
received every announcement.
The land company offered a site for the
proposed church edifice at the corner of
Middle way and Myrtle lane, while one
Of the officials who owns a cottage at
Monte Rio rendered q cash donation TO
the building fund 1t is expected that
many of the cottagers will also contrib
ute to the fund. Charles F. Carr, propri-
etor of the Hotel Monte Rio, recently en-
tertained Rev. Mr.. Parker and other
ministers OF the church, who visited
Monte Rio and offered them q substantial
cash donation
II is expected that the Duncans Mill
Lumber Company will donate part of the
lumber to be used in construction. The
Rev. Mr. Parker has already received
some financial aid from Episcopalians of
the Northern Diocese of California, who
/ have no special interest in Monte Rio,
/ but who favor the extension of the church
] influence, and it is believed other lay
members will lend their aid when the
project becomes known.
1t is proposed to raise $1,000 for the
church edifice and later on to erect a neat
parsonage. The services will be conduct
/ ed by a missionary of the diocese of
which the Right Rev. William H. More

Facts.
New Features Are Apparent
in Bowers Murder
Mystery.

John Cunningham, a waiter in the
Oberon music hall. has suddenly become
one OF the most prominent figures in the
sensational Bowers murder mystery. His
Misrepresentation of his position in the
horrible affair in his statements TO the
police authorities have become known.
Last night the officers were debating the
advisability OF taking him into custody.
He Will be subpenaed at any rate and
kept under the order of the court. He
is openly accused by the police of know
ing more than he has told.
Mrs. Bowers stated 10 the Chief Of Po-
: lice Immediately after her arrest that
! the persons who gave food TO the pois-
oned bridR builder were herself, Harry
John Cunningham. All of them were sub
jected TO a severe examination and their
stories were kept for record.
John Cunningham asserted that he had
been a lifelong friend of Martin Bowers,
! that he had but little acquaintance with
the women and that his frequent visits
10 $40 Clementina street were for the pur-
pose of nursing the sick man. He said
/ that he had visited the grocery
where the ham was bought for the pur-
pose of discovering if there was anything
the matter with the rest Of the meat on
the same bone. He visited the house
practically every day and did all be could
to help.
1t is now learned that he has been liv-
ing in Mrs. Sutton's apartments for more
than year and is said by fellow
habitues of the tenderloin to be her con-
sort The people who live near the Bow
ers house on Clementina street say that
Cunningham never visited the place until
the bridge builder was on his death bed
and then in company with Mrs. Sutton.
He gave much assistance in the care of
Bowers. When the latter was dead Gun
ningham, in the role of the grief-stricken
friend, took the murdered mans $40 gold
