While returning from a fraternity dance at Laramie late Friday night, two Cheyenne high school youths were killed and another seriously injured when their automobile slipped from the road and tumbled down a steep embankment, pinning the young persons beneath. The dead are Miss Emily Nimmo and Rex Nimmo, members of prominent Cheyenne families. Miss Elizabeth Artist was at first reported to be fatally injured but it now believed she will recover. Miss Ethal Nimmo escaped with slight injuries. The car in which the ill fated quartette was riding was a one-seated coupe.
Inquest into the deaths is being withheld until Miss Artist can testify. It is said that university officials will take action to prohibit invitations to fraternity functions being issued to out-of-town high school sutdents in the future with the view of curtailing long auto drives at night which are deemed dangerous.
