JURY FINDS
HIM GUILTY
Murder in the First Degree is the
Verdict Of the Jury in the zid.
mair Case.
HE KILLED GEORGE ReIoER
Claimed That Act Was Done in Self.
Defense-Sentenee Will be Pass
ed April 9th.

Livingston, April 16.-Martin lid
mair was found guilty tonight of muir.
der in the first degree for the killing
of George Reider on April 10, 1900, at
Trail creek.
The crime for which Zidmair will
suffer the death penalty unless the
higher court or the governor inter-
feres, was most atrocious one. Ac-
cording to the story told by witnesses
Relder and Zidmair had been friends.
They quarreled and Zidmair shot Reid
er as the latter was driving along In
sleigh. After the shooting Zidmair
left the scene OF the tragedy with the
intention, he claimed, of surrendering
TO the authorities. He never reached
Livingston, however. He stopped at
the ranch of his brother and told
about the killing. His brother, it was
said. advised him to bury the body
and say nothing about the matter.
This conversation was overheard by
a man named Weidenbauer, who was
concealed in an outhouse near where
the conversation took place. When
"tiutHbdutl itNtdltu lib pISocnco
Zidmair threatened TO kill him II he
ever told Of what he had heard.
Zidmair and a man named John
Held went to the scene of the mur.
der. Reider was not yet dead, so the
story runs, and Zidmair fired another
shot into the body of the PROSTATE
man. He then buried the body In a
pile Of sawdust. Later 1t was removed
to another place.
Recently, according to the story
told by Weidenbauer. Zidmair threat.
ened to kill him (Weidenbauer). In
order that he might be sure that he
would not bear witness against him.
determined to tell the officers what
he knew. With this intention Weld
enbauer came to Livingston two or
three weeks ago and related the story.
The story of Zidmair and Held fol-
lowed. The latter Is charged as an
accessory.
Zidmair admitted the killing. but
said that he was driven to desperation
by Reider. who bounded him night and
day threatening his life and the lives
of the members of his family. He ac-
cused Reider of running his tAid.
mairsD daughter. He also asserted
that at the time of the shooting Reid
er came toward him with an axe In
his hand. threatening to kill him. and
that he shot in self-defense.
The court will pass sentence on
Zidmair on April 27. The prisoner
displayed no emotion when the ver-
dict was returned.

the Republicans went to work to get
up large meeting, and they succeed

The speech was rouser. When
the colonel had spoken an hour and

ing his terms in the senate when he
has not demonstrated his intellectual
strength, and his moral courage is
unquestioned by those who know him
best.
In a city where Colonel Spooner
went to attend court there lived a
bully who was deemed a dangerous
character when in his cups, and he
was sure to be drunk on all unusual
occasions. such as a term of the cir
cult court. While on their way to the
court house one day Spooner and two
or three other lawyers were advised
by native of the town to take an
other street. "Bruiser Bill" would
soon meet them, and, as he was blind
drunk, there would likely be trouble.
Thank you," said Colonel Spoon
er, "but we will stick to this street" "
"Bruiser Bill" was talking to a
woman when the lawyers came along.
As they passed the bully they heard
him make an insulting remark to her.
Spooner instantly wheeled around,
threw off his coat and faced the in
sulter.
His companions hastily endeavor.
ed to pull him away.
Come on, colonel" they pleaded; !;
that fellow will chew you up in min
ute"

reply.
And he made good his words. The
bully had an opportunity to make on.
ly one pass at his opponent. After
that the lawyers good right fist hit
him in the right spot. "Bruiser BiIl'
fell like a shot bullock, and he didn't
need hitting again that or any other
day. The lesson made a sober, de.

Largest Ship In the World Launched
In New London, Conn.

Largest Ship In the World Launched
In New London, Conn.
New London, Conn, April l6.-In
the presence of thousands of specta.
tors, including many visitors from
New York, Boston and other cities,
the steamer Minnesota, the largest
vessel ever built in this country and
the greatest cargo carrier in the world.
was launched today at the yards of
the Eastern Shipbuilding company at
Croton. The sponsor of the nam
moth ship was Miss Hill, daughter Of
]. ]. Hill. president of the Great Nor.
thern Railway company, for whom
the vessel was built, to become a part
of the company's Pacific and oriental
carrying service.
AS the restraining rope that held
the ship to its place on the ways was
severed Miss Hill broke a bottle Of
wine over the steel bow and named
the vessel the Minnesota.
After the launching luncheon was
served to the guests of the shipbuild-
ers company in the mold loft Of the
yard.
The steel cargo and passenger ship
Minnesota is not only the largest yes.
sci of any kind constructed in Amer.
lea, but it is the largest cargo carrier
in the world.
The Cedric, which is registered at
the same tonnage and exceeds the
Minnesota In length, has less dead
weight carrying capacity by more than
5000 tols. The dad weight carrying
capacity of the Cedric is 1S.4OO tons,
while that of the Minnesota is $4,000.
The Minnesota and her sister YES
sci, the Dakota, which Is to be launch
ed in about ten weeks. will carry 49,.
900 long tons of coal and 100000 bar
rels of -four This is fifty per cent
more than the dead weight carrying
capacity of the two giant carriers OF
the White Star Line, the Cedric and
the Celtic.
AS compared with the largest steam,
ships built at American shipyards,
the Minnesota and Dakota have very
nearly double the tonnage displace
ment and fully double the net dead
weight carrying capacity. The new
cargo and passenger carriers, the Fin
land and Kroonland, of the Red StaI
line, have a tonnage OF 10000. Ths
Korea and Syberia, of the Pacific Mai
company, have a registered tonnage
OF 11,300. The Minnekakda and Min
nedora, of the Atlantic Transport
company, have l3,400 gross tonnage
The st. Louis and st. Paul Of the
American line have 10,500 tonnage
The Minnesota and Dakota, on the
usual basis of 40 cubic feet to the
cargo ton. have cargo space for 81
652 long tons. while the actual dead
weight carrying capacity is $4,000 ant
their tonnage displacement $4,000.
The North German Lloyd steamer
Kaiser Wilhelm H.. now building In
Germany, is somewhat longer thar
the Minnesota, but has less breadth
and has a nodded depth of A feet as
compared with nearly 56 for the Min
nesota. The tonnage displacement o
the big German vessel Is over one
third less than that OF the Minnesota
and Dakota.
