schwab Admits the Contract.

Charles M. Schwab Of New York,
who is on his way from st. Peters
burg to Luxembourg to visit the iron
works and who thence will return
home, stopped over in Berlin for q
day. In an interview, Mr.. Schwab said

lily and Was Arrested-Point Was
Shot Twice in the Legs.

Salt Lake, May captain w. A.
Raibourn, Twenty-ninth infantry, U. 8.
A., committed suicide at Fort Douglas
early Sunday after making a murder
GUS assault on Lieutenant William H.
Point, also of the Twenty-ninth infan-
try. Point was shot twice by his SUI
perior officer, one bullet penetrating
his left thigh and another INJECTING q
deep flesh wound in his right leg. After
Lieutenant Point had fallen, Captain
Raibourn turned his revolver upon
himself. sending bullet into his head
about three inches behind his right
ear. He died almost instantly.
Captain Raibourn had been drinking
heavily and the tragedy was an out
growth of his arrest on Tuesday last
on a charge of drunkenness.
On Tuesday Of last week Captain
Raibourn was appointed officer of the
day at Fort Douglas, but failed to re-
port for duty and was absent in the
city for "a hours without leave. He
was arrested the following day, but
was given the privileges Of the fort,
under orders not to leave the grounds.
On Saturday evening Captain Raibourn
broke the parole and came to the city.
Lieutenant Point, who was sent after
him with an ambulance, found him in
Main street saloon and he was re-
turned to Fort Douglas under arrest.
He was ordered to remain in his quar-
ters..
Lieutenant Points quarters are but
two doors from those which Captain
RaibOurn occupied. The lieutenant had
just stepped out of doors early Sunday,
when Captain Raibourn appeared, car
rying heavy 38 caliber revolver. HIS
manner was threatening and Point
said, Nov, captain, don't do anything
foolish" Raibourn made no reply, but
Immediately began shooting.
When other officers and soldiers ran
out, after hearing the shots, Captain
Raibourn lay dead and Lieutenant
Point lay in front of his quarters. Lieu
tenant Point was taken to his quar-
tiers. He is said to be resting well.
Raibourn's body was embalmed and
Will be shipped to Oakland City, Ind,
where his mother and two sisters re-
side. He has brother in Chicago.
Captain kaibourn had sought to
avoid courtmartial and had forward
ed to Washington his resignation from
the army. 1t had not been accepted
and it was supposed that trial by court
martial awaited him. Worry over the
probability of dishonorable discharge
from the army ana dissipation are be-
lieved to have unbalanced his mind.
Captain Raibourn, who was IS years
of age, and unmarried, enlisted in the
army in 1891, as private, and had
worked his way up from the ranks.
Captain Raibourn and Lieutenant
Point had served together in the
Philippines and were firm friends.
Lieutenant Point entered the army
as captain of the Fifty-frst Iowa vol
unteers, and later was appointed to
the regular service. He has passed
the examination ana qualified for pro-
motion to captaincy.
Captain Raibourn formerly was re-
garded as an efficient officer, but re-
Gently he had been drinking hard and
could not be relied on for duty.
