This afternoon men were searching

Ever since the Rio Grande road an

Goulds motives in this matter. In lieu

that the deal was for commercial pur-
poses and the possibility of connec-

happened since which indicate the fu-

Wyoming Murderer Hanged.

Lander, Wyo., Sept. 26.-James ].
Keffer. who was convicted of the muir
der of A. c. Warren, an old man who
kept a relay station on the Rawlins-
Lander stage line. was hanged here at
10:30 o'clock yesterday morning An
autopsy was held and the brain of the
murderer was carefully examined. The
physicians pronounced 1t perfectly
normal, and say that the injury TO his
head, which Keffer said made him in
sane at times. had not affected the
brain, so far as any outward evidence
could show. The report OF the pbysi-
clans quleted stories that Keffer was
insane at the time of his execution
and strengthened the general belief
that he was sane when he killed War
rem.
On the gallows Keffer made speech
while Sheriff Charles Slough was ad-
tusting the moose and black cap. He
said that he had no grudge against any
one In Lander. and addressing some
OF the jurors who were present told
them that they were taking the life OF
an innocent man and that they would
live to regret their action.
The drop broke Keffer's neck and
death came quickly and without a
struggle.

completed for the use of the company.
The train left at 10 O'clock in the
morning and the party returned to
Denver in the afternoon at 1880 o'clock.
The trip was one of inspection and the
roadbed was pronounced by several OF
the party who made the trip as the
very best. Considerable time was spent
Mt the end of the run in the inspection
of the steam shovel and the cut where
the line now ends.
