Salt Lake. July lon Wednesday
afternoon little Tommy Davis. who re-
sides with his parents at 161 East
Third street south. found in the street
opposite his house n human hand. The
hand was laying on the surface OF the
ground and was in an advanced state
OF decomposition.
The lad took 1t to his mother and she
kept II in the house until yesterday.
when the police were notified and the
member turned over TO them.
City Physician Dalby examined 1t
and expressed 1t as his opinion that
the hand was probably that of lady.
the tendons and muscles indicated that
II had not done hard work and its
general appearance was such as to
warrant the conclusion that II had
probably lain in the earth for three OF
| four months. The nails and flesh up IA
the first joints Of the fingers are gone
| and the thumb Is also missing; other
wise the member up to the wrist joint
| is almost perfect.
The mystery is 20 whose body does
the hand belong. how did il come there
and was there foul play?
Mrs. Davis and others. who reside
in the neighborhood Of the place where
the hand was found, told a Herald re-
porter that there Is at times fou
odor around. from which they are in
clined to believe that the rest Of ths
body may be concealed not far away
There is evidently mystery which
needs to be explained. and the sleuth:

to move or buy. The prices Of lots were
crowded up To the boom limit IL was
impossible for the whole town 10 move
down the valley within tho time specl-
fed AZ the expiration of the 2O-day
ejectment notices were served and the

DEATH BY VOLTS.
Wife Murderer Buchanan Electrocuted--
Ills wife's Appeal.

Sing Sing. n. Y, JULY with two
electric contacts, consuming not more
than n minute. DR.. Buchanan was put
to death In Sing Sing prison to-day
just before noon. Like all the others
who have preceded him. he went to
death calmly and did not say a word
in the death chamber. The only ap-
pearance OF fright or weakness WAS the
fact that he closed his eyes When lie
entered and did not open them again.
The contacts were made, but all ply
sicians and electricians claim that the
second contact was merely precau;iou-
AIRY and that the victim died instantly.
There were no burns and no unpleasant
features, and every physician present
declared the execution a success. The
body was claimed by friends and the
case will go down into history as 4 case
celcbre.
The following dispatch was received
at the prison from New York: To
Warden Sage. Sing Sing Prison. New
York: The opinion OF the attorney Sen-
cral is misleading and misstates facts
as to the appeal. The Buchanan case
is in the United States supreme court.
and by the laws OF the United States
your authority Is stayed You must
choose between supposed duty to state
and obedience 10 the supreme laws of
your country" The Telegram was
signed by Arthur c. Butts and George
W. Gibbons.
Mrs. Buchanan arrived On the train
that reached here at 1880 and was
taken to the residence OF the pls:)r Of
the Presbyterian church. Warden Sage
sent her word that she could hot see
the prisoner When she arrived the
prison officials were already preparing
him for the electric chair.
AT ll:lj the witnesses were called to
the execution chamber. Elc,,ric.ln Da-
Wis was AT the switchboard, In a

chanan, lie walked in without u wcrd
and took his seat. In ab1ut % seconds
he was strapped and in ~ he was pro-
