THE MURDER
OF KAUFMAN
CoRoNER'S JURY COMPLETES ITS
INVESTIGATIONS AND FINDS
THAT HE WAS KILLED.
At Least Six Blows Fell Upon the
Head of the Unfortunate Man, one
Was Delivered from Behind-No
Clews as To His AssaIlant.

The coroner's jury to investigate the
cause of death of Jay Kaufman, whose
body was found in a box car near How
ell last Monday, last night completed
its labors, returning the following YER
dict:
I'VE find that Kaufman came to his
death as the result of a blow or blows
on the head, delivered by some person
or persons unknown to this jury; that
some heavy blunt instrument was used
with intent to commit murder. and that
robbery of valuables from the person
of said Kaufman followed the assault"
Six Wounds On Head.
Among the last witnesses examined
were DR.. A. B. Hamilton, the county
physician, and ]. ]. Storey, the con-
ductor in charge of the train on which
Kauffman's body was found. DR.. Ham
ilton told of the autopsy held Oh the re-
mains and of the finding of not less
than six wounds on the head. He gave
it as his opinion that death ensued not
to exceed an hour before the finding Of
the body of the young man at Howell
station, and that the assault had oc-
Cured certainly within tw%enty-four
hours of the time of the finding.
Not Murdered at Omaha.
This disproves the theory of the faith
err of the young man that the boy was
murdered at Omaha and his body
placed in the w~est-bound car. DR..
Hamilton was also of the opinion that
at least one of the severest blows was
struck while Kaufman was sitting up.
The skull was fractured clear across
the top and in both directions from
points about the ears, and there was a
clot of blood covering practically the
whole surface of the brain. 1t was pos
sible for the man to have lived some
time after the blows were struck, but
the doctor could not give the time.
Storey Examined.
Mr.. Storey, the conductor, told of the
finding of the body of the young man
by one of his brakemen, and believed 1t
was impossible for the assailant to
have left the train after he assumed
control in the yards here. He thought
the man had been dead several hours
when the discovery of his body was
made at Howell.
Full Description of Kaufman.
County Attorney Downey has a full
description of Kaufman in the record
of the inquest and will use this in his
efforts to apprehend the assailant. He
believes, at least, that the man died in
this county-that death occurred not
far from the time of the arrival of the
train here, n that the assault had
taken place not many hours before the
body was found. He has the bloody
coat and hat to work on, although it is
believed the hat belonged to Kaufman

TO IMPROVE
THE SHEEP
EXPERIMENT STATION WILL USE
ADAMS BILL FUND FOR BEN
Eft OF WOOL INDUSTRY.
Ten or Eleven Breeds of Sheep to Be
Purchased, Some to Be Imported,
for the Benefit of the Investigation
Lambs To Be Fed for the Inter
national Show In Chicago.

The agricultural committee of the ex.
pertinent station here will eXpend 81
$50 of the $4,000 received through the
Adams bill in experimenting with sheep
for both wool and mutton, the effort of
the station being to determine the best
breeds for the west. For this purpose
the committee will purchase a number
of specimens of the leading breeds,
three or four each, the best of their re-
spective classes, and they will be
treated as sheep are ordinarily treated
in the west. The following selections
have been made, the animals in each
case to be imported from Canada or
purchased where the best a be had:
Breeds Selected.
Mutton breeds-Southdowns, Shrop
shires, Hampshires, Oxfords, Cots
wolds, Lincolns and Cheviots.
Wool observation-disclosures, Mo
rinos and Delaines.
An effort will be made to secure spe.
ciments of the Persian fiat tails, but it
is possible these will have to be
brought from Persia to get the pure
bred and perfect specimens. A buck
and ewes will be purchased, the direct.
or, Prof. Buffum, having been directed
to order the collection of the sheep.
Fat Lambs for Show.
In addition to the breeding and feed
ing of sheep to determine the best
strains and crosses for the west, the
station will feed 100 or more lambs for
exhibition at the International fat
stock show at Chicago next December.
These lambs will be selected for this
purpose exclusively.
Much Needed Funds.
The station has been fortunate in Sc
curing the funds under the new law,
as it will enable that department to
proceed with Investigations hardly pos.
sible without this additional sum-. Next
year there will be 1000 additional, and
it will be used to further these and 9th
er experiments for the benefit of the
sheep breeders and wool growers of
the state and the west.
