DYNAMITERS DEMAND $50,000 FROM NORTHERN PACIFIC. Declare That a Refusal to Py Down This Sum Will Result In Whole-sal- e Destruction of Property. It has developed that the recent attempts to dynamite the bridges and track on the line of the Northern Pacific between Livingston and Missoula are In furtherance of a plot to force the railway company to pay $50,000 for immunity from the outrages. In August last the company re ceived a letter demanding $25,000, and it was threatened If the terms proposed were not agreed to, dynamite would be used on the line. No' attention was paid . to the demand and shortly after the railroad bridge at Livingston was partially wrecked by dynamite, and a few nights later another stick of dynamite was exploded near Bozeman under a passing train. Other letters followed, and the dynamiters proposed that the company pay $50,000, and If it acceded to the demand It was to carry a white flag on engines hauling trains, and Sept. 22 was to run a light engine from Butte to Missoula and at a point on the road It was to stop on a signal and an agent of the company was to pay over the money. The company, hoping to catch the men, put out the white flags and on the night agreed upon ran the light engine. Behind it followed another engine, pulling two cars. One was filled with armed sheriffs and deputies, and the other contained horses and bloodhounds. The run was made from Butte to Missoula, but there was no signal, and It was thought the men had been scared off. Shortly after the letters began to arrive again from the dynamiters, making the same demand and telling he railroad if it agreed to the terms to put the flags on the engines. This the railroad company has not done, and In the past two weeks there have been four attempts to damage the line by the use of dynamite. SAVED BY PLAYMATES.

James Keffer was hanged In the court house yard. at Lander, Wyo. Friday morning. The trap was sprung at 10:15 and Keffer's neck was broken. Hts body was cut down eight minutes later and an autopsy held. The brain of the murderer was found to be perfectly normal, thus disproving the claim of Keffer and his friends that he was insane. Keffer had been on the verge of collapse for several days, but he braced up the night before the execu tion. He slept well and ate a hearty breakfast. He bade his fellow pris oners farewell and while Sheriff Stough was preparing him fqr the execution Keffer told Stough to not get excited. Keffer walked calmly to the gallows and while the black cap and noose were being adjusted he made a short speech in which he said the jury that, convicted him had made mistake and would realize It some ATTEMPTED TO LOOT A TRAIN ON O.
