The Livingston enterprise. [volume] (Livingston, Mont.) 1883-1914, 1890-08-09

Real estate has doubled in value and il
still on the rise. Thirty saloons ar.
already supplying the thirsty and j,
variety theatre will soon be ready tx
furnish amusement. The water supply
is being strengthened and every pre-
caution is being taken for the city's
future safety. The fire may prove
blessing in disguise and, like the one al
| Spokane Falls, be the making of gooc
town. There is no reason why this il
not the making of good place, as it is
the natural mining center Of the Ceul
d'Alenes
Kemmler Electrocuted.
An Auburn, New York, dispatch gives
the following particulars of the death
by electricity of William Kemmler, on
the 9th inst: The trial Of new
means of taking human life while de-
vised by humane motives has resolved in
to the sickening spectacle presented by
pinioned wretch at whose vital center
was kept pouring for several moments
an alternating current of electricity,
which, though it ultimately destroyed
his life subjected the criminal to tor
ture of which no living being has knowl-
edge and none can describe. Imperfect
registry of the currents pressure or
faulty contact of the electrodes prevent
ed instantaneous death. That laymen
may gain some conception of the pro-
cess of this killing, the statement is
made that person whose bloody shoes
and body should be shaken into frag-
ments could not have suffered such pain
as did Kemm ler whose nerve cells and
tissues were disintigrated, not in flash,
as designed, but by the relatively slow
strokes of the electric ham rers upon
them. Whether the blood retains it's
normal consistency or whether it is par
TALLY or wholly fuidized by divorce Of
oxygen from the blood corpuscles, can
only be determined by the autopsy
which is about to be commenced. Only
deliberate pen can adequately describe
the scenes. Kemmeler's nerve was
something wonderful, and he never fal-
tered. He directed tle adjust tne1t of
himself in the chair and cou,seled the
warden to moderation to secure perfect
safety. The shock was given at 6:4315
and was continued about eighteen Sec
onds. Two minutes after the current
was cut off there was respiration. AS
soon as possible the current was return
ed, then cut off again and respiration
was evident. After few moments,
saliva came from the mouth, the chest
heaved, there was wheeling in the
throat, and the shock was again put to
the prisoner, who, the doctor remarked
was unconscious from the moment of
the first shock. In short time smoke
in the face and the flesh was
burned. The spectacle was most trying.
The man, the doctors said, suffered no
pain, however. The warden says the
voltage at the first shock was at 1900
volts, which run down to a point not
named. After the third contact of four
minutes the man was declared dead.
The warden's certificate of death was
signed by all present, and the party
broke up at 7:4O.
