Want the Coroner ArnIn.

Coroner Chafin last evening received a
telegram from Fort Laramie requesting
his immediate presence there. He is
wanted to hold an inquest over the re-
mains of Timothy O'Leary, a ~ranchman
whose place is about eight miles northeast
of the post. The dispatch states that
O'Leary was instantly killed by a fall
from a wagon yesterday morning. Just
why an inquest is necessary in a case of
that sort is o apparent, but the coroner
will answer the and leave on the
Cheyenne & Northern this morning.
At a late hour last night a special tele-
gram to THE LEADER retold the story as
stated above and added that further par
ticulars were understandable.

Three little children, one of whom is
deaf and dumb, arrived in this city last
evening consigned to ''the overseer of the
poor" They are children of the Richie
brothers, INT of whom died recently under
horrible circumstances at Douglas. A
note accompanied the children. 1t was
written by a 2x4 Douglas squire named
W. E. Mecum, who says the unfortunate
little ones are sent to Cheyenne by the
"overseer of the poor of Albany county.
This is no doubt intended as a specimen
of humor, for perpetrating which Squire
Mecum should get about ninety days on
bread and water. One of the Rltchies
and his mother are still in Douglas. The
children will be temporarily placed in the
hospital.

A Narrow ESCAPE.

The Hunton residence, on East Six
tenth street, now occupied by R. S.
VanTassell, narrowly escaped destruction
by fire last evening. In some way a por-
there used in lieu of sliding doors on the
first floor caught fire. The aperture or
groove formed a perfect iume, and the
flames were soon communicated to the
timbers beneath the second floor. An
alarm was turned in and the fire compa-
mics were soon on the scene, but wisely
refrained from entering the house with
streams of water. The flames were ex-
tinguished with the garden hose and a
great loss of property averted. The
damage will foot up several hundred dol
lars, but is covered by insurance. Smoke
and water injured considerable furniture.

A Washington dispatch says hat the
will of Mrs. Weltha a. Emmons was
yesterday filed with a petition asking for
probate. The will, it is expected, will be
contested, and the question of the sanity
of Mrs. Emmons again disputed. AN
examination of Mrs. Emmons' brain,"
says the Star, was made by the direc-
ton of Prof. Emmons while his wife's
body was lying at the house where she
died."
In case the will is set aside, all of Mrs.
Emmons' property, valued by her lawyer
at $45, 900, will go to Prof. Emmons, as it
is not known that she has any relatives
who could claim the property.
