Beske, 85, of Fox Lake( died Friday at the Continental Nursing Center i Randolph following a lingering illness. Before residing at the center, Lincoln had Confederate $5 bill with him when shot (By tin Associated Press) LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) Nigerian chief of state Murtala Muhammed was assassinated in Friday's abortive coup and replaced by Lt. Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo, army chief of staff and former No. 2 man in Mu-hammed's government, the Supreme Military Council announced today.

The 21-member council said in a statement broadcast by Radio Lagos that the uprising was led by Lt. Col. Musa Dim-ka, head of a group of dissident army officers calling themselves "young revolutionaries," and that the ringleaders had been arrested. The broadcast said Muhammed was buried early to day near his birthplace in Kano in northern Nigeria and that the Council decreed seven days of official mourning throughout he country. Earlier, both the Manchester Guardian and London's Daily Express said in reports from Lagos that Muhammed's car had been riddled with bullets in a roadside ambush early Friday morning.

uavid Gray, the Guardian's correspondent in Lagos, said, the general was dnvine from his home at Ikoyi to his office at the army headquarters in he uodan Barracks. According to an eyewitness, the car, which was followed by two mil itary vehicles, stopped in a long line of traffic. Fires Into car A man in civilian clothes stepped from Mother car fur ther back in the queue and fired a whole magazine of bullets into the general's car. Then it seems that he returned to his car, reloaded the gun, and fired again into the general's black Mercedes, Gray said. The Express, quoting wit nesses, gave a similar account.

The reports could not be veri fied. Government broadcasts late Friday said the situation had returned to normal, announced a dawn-to-dusk curfew and urged Nigerians to remain calm, said a man who answered the telephone at the U.S. Embassy in Lagos and identified himself as the dutv officer. There's been reports of shooting, scattered shooting during the day, but they are only reports," he said. "I didn't hear any mvself.

Certainly there wasn't much. All Americans are O.K. as far as we know." Military rebels led bv a Lt. Col. Dimka seized control of the state radio and claimed in Friday mornin? broadcast that hey had taken over because of unexplained "diffi culties" with Muhammed's re-l gime.

Gunfire reported Dimka, known onlv as the! former head of the armv'si physical training program, saidi the government had been dissolved, travel was forbidden and a curfew would be enforced from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Reports were received of spo-! radic gunfire at the Dodan Bar-i racks and witnesses said sev eral bodies were lying on the streets outside. The barracks and the Defense Ministry were sealed off, and guards were reported at other Key buildings. The head of the government overthrown by Muhammed last July 28.

Gen. Yakubu Gowon, said be played no part in Fri day's attempted takeover. Go-won fled to Britain, where he is now studying at Warwick Uni versity in the Midlands. The coup attempt followed aj major anticorruption drive bvi Muhammed and a sharp move to the left in foreign policy. Either could have sparked the overthrow try, although foreign af'airs have rarely played a significant role in Nigeria's domestic politics.
