New York, Oct. 19.—It is whispered in
egal circles that the executors of the late
ex-Senator Roscoe Coupling have had a
: emu mi made upon them by representa
tives of Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague which
may lead to one of the most sensational
historical lawsuits that the country has
ever known. The story, as it comes 11 me
started in to “clean out the saloons.” He
began tiring a revolver at the lamps in the
saloon of R. J. Wiuscott, which he soon
had in his posession. Walking out on the
street, he was arrested; but he was re
leased in a little while, when he again
returned to the saloon and began
his assault. He was met there by Wm.
Winscott, a sou of the proprietors, who
asked him to desist. Burrell then com
menced firing on Winscott, who soon fell,
pierced in the left breast by a wound
which is necessarily fatal. In the excite
ment Burrell escaped, and he has not yet
been arrested. The trouble grew out of au
old feud, and it is feared that more blood
will be shed. Burrell killed a man a few
