.METZGER WILL

MURDERER OF HOMER WARD
HAS BUT A FEW HOURS
TO LIVE.

White Sulphur Springs, May q
Herbert H. Metzger, the murderer of
Homer Ward, will be hanged here
next Friday, probably during the af-
ternoon, and before 5 o'clock. A re.
porter for the Meagher County Repub-
lican recently asked Metzger why he
permitted Balchsto, a stranger, to
take his hat back to the cabin, know.
ing that it might later cast suspicion
upon an innocent man.
WELL" said Metzger, that fellow
Balchsto was none other than the
man who testified against me at the
trial. I mean-Alex. Oriet. Oriet
was the man who took my hat back
to the cabin. He was the man who
brought the stuff and helped me pack
1t on the horses. I knew that he had
gone to rob the cabin, but l did not
know that he had committed MUIR

II was afraid I might get life
sentence, and I would prefer to he
hung rather than spend the rest of
my life in prison."
Metzger has many callers these
days, but few to sympathize, how.
ever. The object of most people who
go to see him is merely to crafty
their curiosity. Metzger spends his
| time smoking and reading, or chat
| ting pleasantly with his death watch.
He thinks good deal of George Will
liams, and, at times, with him, be-
comes even jocular in discussing his
approaching death. One day the un.
dersheriff related an instance of a
man whose head slipped through the
moose when the trap was sprung.
Metzger laughed heartily at that, as
though it were good joke. Wed.

made by the men building the fence

or rather crying, but whether from
fear of death or from remorse be-
cause of a misspent life, it would be
difficult to determine. what are you
crying about?" II am thinking Of
the folks at home" was the answer
that came from the cell. If that an
swer contained the truth, and there is
reason to believe it did from state
ments formerly regarding his early
life, it tends to show at least thai
"down in the human heart feelings
lie buried" which are not altogether
base. But the memory of that bru

CAL LIFE.
How they cheered!

How they cheered!
MORA Croysdale forgot she had ever
left the stage. Her breath came in
quick little gasps for few seconds;
this, after all, was life-the old life
which brought new excitement with
every moment, set the nerves ting
ling with the consciousness of youth
and beauty, and made the world bright
with the joy of living.
It was something to be queen of
musical comedy and return to such a
triumph as this! Her powers of con-
quest had not waned, and, like true
woman, she felt gratified. Then her
heart went out to the thousands who
were cheering themselves hoarse, and
the tears almost came to her eyes.
Who said the public were tickle!
She loved them every one. They
never forgot their old favorites.
Mora reflected as she bowed hel
acknowledgements that she was moi
old as years go-neither had she lost
her good looks-but they would have
cheered her just the same if she had
been old. and-yes, ugly. She was
sure of it.
After all. she had only been absent
from the boards a matter of two OF
three years. She remembered hel
friends told her she would soon tire
of married life and wish to return t.
the stage.
Well, they were partly right. Sh'
wasn't really tired of Dick-only JUS

stage fever that had seized her, ant

She wanted to compel the admire

old davs. to r~nvo',o their laughte
and their tears; to win smiles an
applause. How could Dick undel
stand what all this meant to a woma
an actress?

BLOODY DEED
OF A CAPTAIN
Army Officer at Salt Lake City Shoots
Lieutenant and Then Takes HE
Own Life.
DRINK THE CAUSE OF IT ALL
Captain Raibourn Breaks His Parole
After Being placed Under Arrest
Lieutenant Point Wounded.

Salt Lake City, April 3O.-Captain
w. A. Raiburn, Twenty.ninth infan-
try, U. s. A., committed suicide at
Fort Douglas early today, after max
ing a murderous assault on Lieutenant
William H. Point, also of the Twenty
ninth infantry. Point was shot twice
by his superior officer, one bullet PEN
etrating his left thigh and another In.
f1icting a deep flesh wound in his right
leg. After Lieutenant Point had fall
len Captain Raiburn turned his re-
volver upon himself, sending bullet
into his head about three inches be-
hind his right ear. He died almost
instantly.
Captain Raiburn had been drinking
heavily and the tragedy was an out
growth of his arrest on Tuesday last
on charge of drunkenness.
Breaks His Parole.
On Tuesday of last week Captain
Raiburn 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 Raiburn
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
returned to Fort Douglas under ar
rest. He was ordered to remain in
his quarters.
Lieutenant Points quarters are but
two doors from those which Captain
Raiburn occupied. The lieutenant had
just stepepd out of doors early today
when Captain Raiburn appeared, car
rying heavy 38-caliber revolver. His
manner was threatening and Point
said: Nov, captain, don't do any
thing foolish Raiburn made no re
ply but Immediately began shooting
Lieutenant Rests Well.
When other officers and soldiers
ran out after hearing the shots Cap
tain Raiburn lay dead and Lieutenant
Point was taken to his quarters. He
is said to be resting well. Raiburn's
body was embalmed at the post hOspi
tai and tomorrow it will be shipped
to Oakland City, Ind, where his moth
er and two sisters reside. He has {
brother in Chicago.
Captain Raiburn had sought to avoit
a court martial and had forwarded tt
Washington his resignation from thu
army. It had not been accepted ant
it was supposed that trial by cour
martial awaited him. Worry over tn
probability of dishonOrable discharg
from the army and dissipation ar
supposed to have unbalanced his mind
Captain Raiburn, who was IS year
of age and unmarried, enlisted in tn
army in 1891 as a private and ha'
worked his way up from the ranks
He and Lieutenant Point had serve
together in the Philippines and wer
firm friends.
Could Not be Relied on.
Lieutenant Point entered the arm
as captain of the Fifty-first Iowa vo
unteers, and later was appointed t
the regular service. He has passe
the examination and qualified for prt
motion to captaincy.
Captain Raiburn formerly was r.
garded as an efficient officer, but n
Gently he had been drinking hard an
could not be relied on for duty.
