inquest will be held late this after

having trouble. This was about sup
per time. Upon returning to Eis

man and won. and afterwards drank
some beer which he claimed was dop-
ed
II developed this morning that Sui
Ivan visited one of the sporting
houses between 10 and IL o'clock,
which accounted for his absence. and
1t Is also believed there is something
and for this reason an inquest will
i:hcly be held.
Sullivan has been running on the
fourth division as fireman for some
years. Until the 26th Of last month
he was firing for Engineer Murphy
on the Passenger train between Du-
rango and Chama. At that time he
took a lay-off. spending portion OF
he time In Denver and the rest in
Durango. He always stopped at the
Palace hotel.
Sullivan leaves a wife and two chill
dren residing in st. Louis at the
present time. They lived with him
ut Chama up to year ago. 1t was
! supposed they were happy. and 1t is
| known that he was In communication
with his wife. A telegram sent Mrs,
| Sullivan this morning up to o'clock
| has not been answered.
| At 2.30 this afternoon an inquest
| was deemed advisable and is being
held as we go to press. Coroner
] Brewer and Vic Coulsen have been
| trying to unraveI the mystery. but
30 far have been unsuccessful. 1t is
believed the women of the sporting
houses visited can throw some light
on the affair. and hence the Inquest.
By some 1t Is believed Sullivan was
suffering from temporary insanity.
