Fargo Argus, 4sh: 1t was not gener-
ally known that J I'm b. Raymond was

death came with q shock, when Il
yesterday afternoon. He died
at 4:3O .. M. at the residence OF d. +.
Polk on Thirteenth street, OF typhoid
after five days illness,
Doctor Galloway was the attending
physicians. His son Warren Is the only
relative III thu city; the two little daugh-
tiers are with Senator and Mrs. Sabln in
Washingtop. Mr.. Raymond last Tues
day went over from Mr.. Folks to MIR.
| Eolsom's about plns o'clock III the eve
Mug to phone to his farm. While
warming himself by the stove he re-
marked to MIR. e., Il have o severe
pam IN my left shoulder that l do not
understand" He started for
home and fell by Mr.. Folks door, where
he was found and taken in and cared for
promptly. Ply sicians were called and
pronounced mm very SICK, but until Fri
day the case Was not regarded as dan
geroas. Saturday night the symptoms
grew alarming, and friends IN the city

Yesterday morning some OF MIR. Kay
mond's more intimate friends in Fargo
requested d consultation of physicians

his lite, and DR.. Galloway, who had re-
NAMED with him from the first, night
and day, called in Drs. barrow, Cape
Tart, Wear, Buckley and Rolph, hui il
was of no avail, although everything
possible was lone to save his life.
The brothers of the deceased at Coun
ell Bluffs have been notified OF hit
death, and no arrangements will b,
made for the funeral until they are heart
from. 1t is probable, however, the re
mains will be Inferred at Washington be
a sides, those of Mrs. Raymond, who dies
j, about a = year ago. The congresslona
directory of the forty-eighth session
says:
John Baldwin Raymond, of Fargo
was born at Lockport, Niagara county
New York, Dec. s, 1874; removed witt
his parents to Tazewell county, Illinois
J IN 1858; Unlisted from that county as
private in the thirty-first Illinois lnfan
rsry, under Col. John A. Lc
gan, in 1861; was promoted to be captal
e of company e, of that regiment afte
: the siege of Vicksburg in 1868; serve
q through the war and remained in Missit
sippi after the muster out; published til
' Mississippi Pilot at jackson, Mississippi
during the reconstruction OF that state
0 and until 1877 when he was ap
pointed United States marshal for DE-
kota. AT the expiration of that term h
-" declined a reappointment, and was cleo
! ed to the forty-eighth congress as reput
llcan, receiving $4,000 votes againt S,6C
votes for Judge W. w. Bookings, demo
erat.
t Captain Ray mond was on the staff
General Leggett, and was delivering
message to General Mcpherson on I'll
day the latter was killed-July 22-s
Kennesaw. Captain Raymond was n
ceiving the general reply, az the fats
. shot was fired, and was the last offic,
. spoken to by General Mcpherson, b
pissed away in the prime of life, believe
J by his friends and mourned by a lare
g number of people. Those with who,
he may have differed should forget tt
past, and remember that john i. RIA,
l. mond was o man of generous impulse
q and one who would always rather do
clever thing than a mean one. To h
family and admirers the sympathy
+, all is extended.
