 Yardmaster Lyman N.

Fem retained consciousness to the last and when death came his wife and another lady were present,
 Immediately after death Medical Ex- aminer White was notified and made careful post mortem examination. He sent his report to Coroner Mix. in which he stated that Fenn's death was due to wound caused by ball from revolver.
 Later in the day Coroner Mix held an inquest and exmned a number of witnesses in reference to the case. His finding will undoubtedly be that Ly- man M. Fenn came to his death in consequence of injuries received April 6 from a revolver in the hands of Daniel F. Early The inquest is not yet com pleted and will be resumed this morn ing.
 After the post mortem examination Fenn's body was removed to his late residence, 9S7 George street. The ar engagements for the funeral have not yet been completed, but it will probably take place on Sunday
 The bullet was found lodged at the left side of the spinal canal and press ing against the spinal cord. His in- juries were exactly like those from which the late President James A. Gar field died in consequence of the bullet from the pistol of Assassin Guiteau,
 Fenn was well known and univer- sally liked by all with whom he came in contact. He was a prominent mem Der of the Independent Order Of Rail- road Engineers and also of Israel Put nam lodge, A. o. U. w. The latter or ganization he joined in February of this year and from it his wife will re- ceive a benefit of 5000. He had been in the employ of the railroad about twenty years, first as assistant yard master and then yardmaster.
 The shooting, which resulted in Fenn's death, took place at 12:O3 o'clock last Saturday morning. Tenn was in his office at the telephone when Early came up to the door and fired three shots at him. Only one took effect, but that one bullet passed through his liver, struck the base of the spinal column, splintering it and thence into the right kidney, causing internal hem orrhages.
 Early is at present in jail in default of S2,500 bonds, charged with assault with intent to kill. He will be arraigned in the city court this morning, charged with murder in the first degree and probably bound over to the July term of the superior court without bonds.
 The members of Israel Putnam lodge A. o. U. w., are notified to meet at the lodge room at 10 o'clock tomorrow (Sunday) for the purpose of attending the funeral of the late Brother Lyman M. F'enn.
