w. H. Point and Kills Himself.
Was Under Arrest at the Time For
Breach of Discipline and Feared
Dismissal From Service.

Salt Lake, Utah.-Captain ". A. Raj
bourn, Of the Twenty-ninth Infantry.
committed suicide at Fort Douglas at
ter making & murderous assault on
Lieutenant William H.jPoint, of the
same regiment. The lieutenant was
shot twice by his superior officer, one
bullet penetrating the left thigh and
another inficting a deep flesh wound in
the right leg.
After Lieutenant Point had fallen
Captain Raibourn turned his revolver
on himself, sending a bullet into his
head three inches behind the right
ear. He died in q moment.
Captain Raibourn had been drinking
heavily, and the tragedy was an out
growth of his arrest on the charge Of
intoXication.
Captain Raibourn was appointed Of
fcer Of the day at Fort Douglas a few
days ago, but failed to report for duty
and was absent t~wenty-four hours
without leave. he was arrested TIE
following day, but was given the privi-
leges of the fort under orders not to
leave the grounds.
Captain Raibourn broke his parole in
the evening and came to Salt Lake.
Lieutenant Point, who was sent after
him with an ambulance, found him in a
Main street saloon, and the Captain
was returned to Fort Douglas under
arrest. He was ordered to remain in
his quarters.
Lieutenant Points quarters were only
two doors from those which Captain
Raibourn occupied. The Lieutenant
had just stepped out of doors early in
the day when Captain Raibourn ap-
peared carrying a revolver. His man
ner was threatening, and Point ex-
claimed: "Now, Captain, don't do any
thing foolish" Raiboprn made no re-
ply, but Immediately began to shoot.
When other officers and soldiers ran
out, after hearing the shots, Captain
Raibourn was lying dead and Lieuten-
ant Point was lying in front Of his

Captain Raibourn's body was en-
balmed in the post hospital and later

Captain Raibourn had sought to
avoid a court martial and had forward
ed to Washington, D. c., his resigna-
ton. 1t had not been accepted, and it
supposed that a trial by court
martial awaited him. Worry over the
the probability of a dishonorable dis
charge from the army is believed to
have unbalanced his mind.
Captain Raibourn, who was thirty
three years old and unmarried, enlist
ed in the army in 1891 as a private.
He and Lieutenant Point had served to-
in the Philippines and had been
firm friends.
Lieutenant Point entered the army as
Captain of the Fifty-irst Iowa Volun-

SADDENS THE CITY
Irwin's Death Casts Pail Of Sorrow
Over the City of keokuk Where He
Has Been a Leading Citizen-His
al to 1'imes,.Republican.

Special to Times-Republican.
Keokuk, Dec. 23.--The death of John
n. Irwin. which was announced in the
T.-R of yesterday has cast a pail of
sadness over this entire city, where
Mr.. Irwin has long been one of the most
prominent men of business, a politi-
cal leader and leading capitalist.
Though only SIS years of age Mr.. Irwin
had been in poor health for years, his
strenuous business life having under
mined his system. He was born in
1S47 in Ohio and was educated in the
Miami university. In 1867 he gradu-
ated at Dartmouth and since that time
he has been one of the staunchest
western supporters of that school.
Mr.. Irwin has been known chiefly as
a business man the past few years. His
last conspicuous appearance in politics
was in Des Moines when he was chosen
as temporary chairman Of the republic
can state convention which named del
egates to the republican national con-
nominated. Notwithstanding the fact
that he has not been conspicuous in
state politics of late, he was several
years ago very prominent figure. Mr..
Irwin was appointed a governor of Ida
no in 1883 by President Arthur. When
he returned after the Arthur admins
tration to Keokuk he was elected may
or by big vote. In 1890 President
Harrison appointed Mr.. Irwin governor
of the territory Of Arizona. In 1899
President Mckinley. rendered to Mr..
Irwin the position of minister to Portu-
gal and he accepted the office but re-
manned only one year. He has since
resided in Keol1uk where he is a con-
spicuous figure. The Irwin dry goods
house at Keokuk has had very large
business through Iowa, Missouri and
Illinois. Repeated efforts have been
made to get the concern moved to Des
Moines or st. Louis but the Twins have
steadfastly refused to leave Keokuk
where associations for them have been
most pleasant.
Irwin had an enviable war record. He
enlisted at the age of IL years.
