Yesterday morning at 1920, when
freight train No. %, in charge of Con
ductor Adam Schilling left here, among
the brakemen of the crew was a young
nan named NJ. Benner, who came here
from the Fast about a month ago. When
the train entered snow shed No. :, a short
distance west of Sherman, Benner was
standing on top of a box car with his
back toward the entrance Of the shed, and
he was struck on the back of the head,
knocked of and instantly killed. The
body was picked up and taken to Lara
mic, and his parents were telegaphed to
as to what the disposal of the remains
shall be. Having been but a short time
here Benner was but little known in
Cheyenne, but those who know anything
of him say he was a steady, happy
hearted young man, apparently well bred
aud certainly well liked.

him of a fit person for this position.
The salaries CT all teachers remain as
before, but the salary Of the city superin-

Prof, w. NJ. Friesner, the newly
elected city superintendent of schools, is a
native of Ohio, having been born "a

OF that state. He was educated at the
Wesleyan university. Delaware, O., and
taught country schools during the college
vacations. After graduating, he became
principal of the high school at Ports
mouth, o., and held that position four
years, when he was elected city superin-
tendent of schools in the same place. He
re~linquisbed that position to become city

ids, Ia, and has been in that place four
years, and still holds the position, which
he will relinquish TO come to Cheyenne.
Prof. Fricsner is a tall, pleasant and in

came ahead of him, and from very ex-
allied sources and of the highest character,
and he was the unanimous choice of the
school board last night.

Fire at Ferry Village.

The double tenement house in Kincaid's court
at Ferry Village, owned by A. w. Smart was to-
tally destroyed by fire last night. The house was
occupied by Harmon Littlejohn and John l..
Richardson. At about o'clock Mr.. Littej0hn
detected the smell of smoke and upon examina-
ton found that there was blaze in a closet in
Richardson's half Of the house. An alarm of fire
was raised and the neighbors gathered and did
what they could to stay the progress Of the flames.
The house burned rapidly and at one time it
looked as if the adjoining house would burn, but
by wettng it thoroughly this house was saved, al
though the occupants moved out. The steamer
Mary W. Libby threw stream toward the burn
ing house, but the water did not reach the build
ing. The fire is supposed to have been caused by
adefect in the chimney near which the closet was
located where the flames were first discovered.
Mr.. Littejohn stated that he thought the great
er part of his furniture was saved, although he
could not tell his exact loss. Mr.. Richardson's
furniture was mostly saved. Neither of the &C.
cupants had any insurance. The house, which
was worth about $1,000 was insured for $500.

the BROWN ESTATE.
The Accounts Of Mr.. John Rand, the
Late Trustee.

On satnrdaya brief hearing was had before Judge
Haskell upon the petition of Philip Henry Brown,
Iohn Marshall Brown and George E. b. jackson.
trustees of the estate Of the late J. B. Brown, for
fine closing up of the accounts of Mr.. John Rand
who was last spring removed from office as one
the trustees of the estate by a decree of the
court.
The compainants allege that Mr.. Rand has not
surrendered to the trustees all the trust assets in
his hands; that he has retained a certain sum re-
ceiyed from H. N. Jose upon the conveyance OF
certain lands to him, and also certain other sums,
the details of which, the compliments say, are
not fully known to them. The compliments also
say that they do not understand that by the terms
of the decree, the Probate Court has jurisdiction to
determine what is due MI. Rand for services and
charges or to settle his accounts, but claim that
the accounts are subject to the exclusive Jurls-
diction of the Supreme Court. The compliments
therefore object to the allowance by the Probate
Court of any accounts in behalf of Mr.. Rand re-
lating to the trust, and request payment to them
of all sums remaining in his hands.
In answer, the respondent says that ever
since the entry of the decree in the cause he has
acquiesced in the same, and has desired and en-
deaVored to clear himself entirely from the es-
tate devised and bequeathed to him by the late
j. B. Brown; that in conformity with what he
understands to be the provisions of chap. eS of
the revised statutes he has filed with the Probate
Court the account of the trustees for the year
1884 (the accounts of all previous years having
been settled in that court and exhibited to that
court the vouchers therefor, and made oath to the
same; and that he has also filed in that court the
account of the trustees for the remainder of his
term of office upon which an order of notice for
its settlement at the next term of the court has
been duly passed. The respondent claims that
the Probate Court has exclusive jurisdiction of
the trust accounts, and that a settlement of the
probate accounts is necessary for the determine
ton of the amount due to, or from the trustees,
either jointly severally and asserts that to the
best Of his knowledge and belief, he has not in
his possession or under his control any money or
property belonging to the estate but says that, it,
upon the settlement of the accounts, any money
or property belonging to the trust shall be found
in his hands or possession, the same shall be inn
mediately delivered to the said trust.
The complainants offered the testimony of sew
eral witnesses relative to certain payments to
Rand, and as to certain items in the accounts of
Mr.. Rand filed in the Probate Court. The
hearing was then adjourned until Wednesday
next at 10 o'clock,
Hon. w. L. Putnam appeared for the complain
ants, and E. nj. Rand Esq, for the respondent

Something more than dozen years ago, Hales
Honey of Horehound and Tar was introduced gen.
orally throughout New England as remedy for
coughs, colds and pulmonary complaints. 1t had
formerly been the prescription of an eminent
physician, and was used only in his private prac-
tice. Since its Introduction it has constantly won
its way into public favor until now there is scarce
ly town in New England where its benefcent
effect has not been proved Indeed it is a pro-
verbal remark that Hale's Honey of Horehound
and Tar is undoubtedly, the best cough remedy,
and at the same time the most simple and palata-
BILE. Its action is different from the great number
of cough medicines in use, inasmuch as it cures a
cough by assisting expectoration, and aiding the
lungs and throat to dtroW of phlegm and mucus
1t almost instantly soothes the infiamed parts and
enables the respiratory organs TO resist the inf-
ences and encroachments of this changeable and
severe climate 1t is put up in three sizes, the
trial size being only 25 cents per bottle which
places it within the reach of everyone.-Boston
Courier, Feb. s, 1885.
