NEW TRIAL GRANTED.
Martin Zidmair Will Have Another
Chance to Prove His Innocence

SHdUCc u FTONc IT'S innoCencc.
Livingston. May 10.-Martin lid
mair, who was convicted of murder
In the first degree at this term of
court, was yesterday granted a new
trial by Judge Henry. The matter of
granting a new trial was argued at
length last Wednesday, when it was
taken under advisement until today.
The defendants attorney, John T.
Smith, took exception to the charge
given the jury and contended that er-
rOr had been made in instruction
No. 10, which presumed to define muir
der in the second degree, and is as
follows:
IF you find from the evidence a
reasonable doubt that the defendant
on the 10th day of April, 1901, or at
any time prior to the filing of the in
formation in this case, at the county
of Park. and state of Montana, did
unlawfully kill and murder the said
George Rider in the manner and form
charged in the information with mall
ice aforethought, but that the kill
ing was done by the defendant with
out any willful intent. premeditation
or deliberation, then you should find
the defendant guilty Of murder in the
second degree"
The contention OF the defense was
that this instruction practically made
1t impossible for the jury to find lid
mair guilty of murder in the second
degree IL they believed that the evil
dence to show that he committed the
crime with "willful intention" which,
while always an essential element of
murder in the first degree, might also
be an element of murder in the sec
ond degree. The defense insisted that
there was no other kind of intent but
"willful" intent.
In granting the new trial Judge
Henry stated that all other objections
made by the defense to the charge
excepting instruction 10 were with
out weight, but there was sufficient
doubt in his mind that the language
in this instruction might have been
misinterpreted by the jury. Then ew
trial was set for July 18th.

in the Third Round.

in the Third Round.
Butte, May 8.-Aurelio Herrera. OF
Bakersfield. Cal, tonight before 1900
people in the Broadway theater,
knocked out Kid Fredericks. OF Buffa.
10, in the third round of what was
scheduled to be a 20-round contest.
Fredericks' blows fell harmlessly
upon the impregnable guard Of the
dark skinned fighter and not once
during the entire fight did II appear
that the Buffalo man had a chance.
Fredericks grew almost frantic in his
futile attempt To batter down the
Mexican's guard. and he would rain
blows to be blocked by Herreras arms
and shoulders.
Throughout the first two rounds
Fredericks was the aggressor. with
Herrera, his head buried under his
arms like a turtle. smiling at the ex.
cited efforts OF the Buffalo man to get
at him.
Herrera did not expend himself to
any extent during the early rounds
and effectively protected by that pc
culiar guard, allowed Fredericks to
hammer away at him until favorable
opportunity for a telling blow pre-.
sented itself.
Fredericks received his quietus
shortly after the gong had sounded for
the third round. Fredericks grew
wild in his desperate attempts TO get
at Herrera and during a mix-up the
Mexican caught the Buffalo lad with
short left srm and a right to the
Jaw, sending Fredericks down for the
count. When Fredericks regained
his feet Herrera right uppercut him.
sending him TO the floor again. Fred.
ericks came up this time very grog-
Ky and under right. followed by left
and right blows again on the jaw
went down and out. Fredericks had

Entire Postal Department Being Sub.
jected to the Minutest Inves.
tigation by Payne.

Washington. May S.-Investigation
OF the affairs OF the affairs Of the post.
Office department, which has been
dragging along for two months, took
sensational turn late this after
noon. when. by the order of Postmas-
ter General Payne, August w. Ma.
chen, general superintendent of the
free delivery system and one OF the
most widely known government Off
cials in the United States. was re.
lieved from his duties and postoffice
inspector w. c. Fosnes was designat-
ed to take charge of that service.
The change will take effect tomor-
row morning. when Fosnes will as
sumo charge of the free delivery ser.
vice and at the same time that ser
vice will pass under control of the
Office of the fourth assistant postmas-
ter general. Heretofore II has been
under the jurisdiction of the first as
sistant. The action OF the postmaster
general was taken on the written
recommendation of Fourth Assistant
Bristow. who is directing the investi.
CATION OF the affairs of the department
that the transfer OF Machen's bureau
to his jurisdiction and its administra-
ton by postoffice inspector would
expedite the investigation.
In ordering the change recommend
ed the postmaster general gave Ma.
chen leave of absence until the in
vestigation is concluded Machen
promptly acquiesced in the decision of
the postmaster general. taking the oc.
casion TO say in doing so that he
courted the fullest investigation of
his official conduct. Machen has been
under fire ever since the investigation
began. Charges of various kinds
have been preferred against the ad-
ministration OF the free delivery
branch Of the postal. These include
all allegations OF collusion with letter
box manufacturers in furnishing of
boxes, to postoffice patrons, particu.
larly on rural mail routes, and the
appointment OF carriers, etc. There
also has been a conflict between Ma
II Nh'h anu bt hnoibtdht
General Wynne ever since the latter
assumed Office. Wynne charges Ma.
chen with insubordination. Strained
relations between the head of the free
delivery service and other officials
resulted in an embarrassing state of
affairs, and for several months cor
respondence between the general su-
perintendent of the free delivery SER
vice and his immediate superior, the
first assistant postmaster general, has
been conducted on the part OF the
former through one Of his subordi-
mates.
Bristow all along has been of the
opinion that the best interests of the
service would be subserved by the
relief OF Machen and has pointed out
to the postmaster general that the
action was imperatively necessary for
the successful conduct of the investi-

to return to town.
The following morning as Mrs. Sar

manded an explanation as to why he
was not employed to work. Something

STORES WILL
CLOSE EARLY
The Business Men Of the City at Their
Regular Meeting Decide on 7
O'clock Closing.
WILL MAKE THE EAGLE SCREAM
The Glorious Fourth Will be ceiebrat-
ed In a Fitting Manner-sen.
tlment Unanimous.

A meeting of the Business Mems
association was held In the city hall
last night and much business of i'm
portance was transacted.
One of the most important things
taken up was the early closing move
ment. For some time past there has
been a quiet agitation for the early
closing of stores, the movement being
backed not more by the clerks OF the
city than the business men. The
question was discussed IN full at the
meeting last night and the members
of the association unanimously de-
cided to close their stores at o'clock,
beginning June 1st. This is long
step in the right direction, as is prov
en- by the results in other places.
People will soon become accustomed
to the change and will do their pur-
chasing before the closing hour. 1t
will give the clerks an opportunity to
get out for some recreation before
the time to retire. In order to make
the step of much advantage to the
clerks it is necessary that purchasers
be at the store in time to get their
buying done by o'clock. Going in
two minutes before the closing hour
and compelling the clerks to remain
until 1880 or later is doing them an
injustice and defeating the good in
tentions of the business men.
The matter of celebrating the 4th
of July was then taken up and dis
cussed in full. All were unanimously
in favor of doing the proper thing
by the nations birthday. and the fol.
lowing committee was appointed to
outline a program for that day:
H. r. Watson, chairman; F. e. Wright,
]. T. Andrus, Walter Smith and A. B.
Lehman.
As soon as they get together and
make a provisional program other
committees will be appointed to ar
range and manage the different parts
of the celebration.
An Argus representative personally
interviewed a large number OF the
business men Of the city, many OF
whom are not members Of the associ-
alton, and all are unanimously in IA
vor of the celebration, and with such
a unanimity of spirit the day is bound
to be adequately observed in this
city. II will be widely advertised
and with anything like a favorable day
one of the largest crowds ever seen
in this city may be looked for on
the Fourth.
Street sprinkling, the railroad, wool
shipments and other matters pertain
ing to the welfare and prosperity of
the city were discussed, but nothing
else formally acted upon.
The attendance at the meeting was
good and everything passed of In
most harmonious manner.

CURE SPOTTED FEVER.
Physicians In Missoula Hospital Have
Successful Treatment.

Missoula, May 6.-Recent develop
ments in the treatment of spotted
fever patients. who have come to
Missoula for medical attendance. have
proved that the much-feared disease
is not at all dangerous when treat.
ed in its early stages.
Robert Peete. of Lo Lo, who came
to the Sisters hospital here last Mon
day after being bitten several times
by woodticks, left for his home today.
His case was watched from the start
and the treatment began at once.
When spotted fever developed 1t
was in a mild form, the doctors hav-
ing an opportunity to combat 1t before
1t came virulent. At no time was
the patient seriously sick. The fever
was expected and when II appeared
II was overcome. One week from
the day the patient entered the hos
pital, he was pronounced well.
b. Matson, OF Florence, is now a
patient. In his case the disease is
somewhat more developed than the
case OF Peete, but not sufficiently TO
endanger life.
