TRAGEDY AT FORT DOUGLAS
Captain V. A. Ha i bo urn, Twcnly
- jKinth Infantry, M'as Under Ar-
rest Xor Neglect of Duty
and Breaking Parole.
SALT LAKE CITY. April 30. Captain
Vf. A. Haibourn, Twenty-ninth Infantry,
17. S. A., committed suicide at Fort Doug
las early today, after making a murderous
assault on Lieutenant "William H. Point,
also or the Twenty-ninth Infantry. Point
yvas shot twice by his superior officer,
one bullet penetrating his left thigh and
another inflicting a deep flesh wound in
is right leg.
After Lieutenant Point had fallen Cap
tain Raibourn turned his revolver upon
himself, sending a bullet into his head
about three inches behind his right ear.
He died almost instantly. Captain Bal
bourn had been drinking heavily, and the
tragedy -was an outgrowth 6t his arrest
on Tuesday last on a charge of drunken
ness. Tuesday of last week Captain Raibourn
:was appointed officer of the day at Fort
Douglas, but failed to report for duty, and
vas absent in the city 24 hours -without
leave. He was arrested the following day,
but was given the privileges of the fort,
under orders not to icave the grounds.
Captain Breaks His Parole.
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 a Maln
etreet saloon, and he was returned to
Fort Douglas under arrest. He was or
dered to remain in his quarters.
Lieutenant Point's quarters are but two
doors from those which Captain Raibourn
occupied. The Lieutenant had just stepped
out of doors early today, when Captain
Raibourn appeared, carrying a heavy SS
callber revolver. His manner was threat
ening, and Point said:
"Now,. Captain, don't do anything fool
ish." Raibourn made no reply, but imme
diately 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. Lieutenant Point
was taken to his quarters. He is said to
be resting well. Ralbourn's body was
embalmed at the post hospital, and to
morrow will be shipped to Oakland City,
2nd., where his mother and two sisters
reside. He has a brother In Chicago.
Tried to Itcslgn From Service.
Captain Raibourn had sought to avoid
a court-martial; and had forwarded to
"Washington his resignation from the
Army. It had not been accepted, and it
was supposed that a trial by court-martial
awaited him. Worry over the proba
bility of a dishonorable discharge from
the Army and dissipation arc believed to
have unbalanced his mind.
Captain Raibourn. who was 35 years old
and unmarried, enlisted In the Army in
1831 as a 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-first Iowa Volunteers,
and later was appointed to the regular
ecrvice. He has passed the examination
and qualified for promotion to a Cap
taincy. Captain Raibourn formerly was regarded
as an efficient officer, but recently he had
been drinking hard and could not be re
lied on for duty.
ROUT TO TIE PASS.
Trader Tells or Mad Hush of the
JIussian Army.
NIUCHWANG. March 25. (Corres
pondence of the Associated Press.)
The following; story of the retreat
from Mukden was given to the Asso
ciated Press by a trader:
"1 went with the retreat lo Tie Pass.
I saw it all. I don't want any more. I
knew that the retreat was coming. I've
seen Jem before. I saw the Boers clear
out of Pretoria. I know the signs. The
Russian officers jeered when I sug
gested such a thing. They were packing
their stores, getting their papers to
gether in the various offices. Trunks,
boxes, vallEes of all sorts, were ready
to be sent off at a moment's notice.
They tried to keep up their bluff until
the very last.
Cherchoff. the head of the gendar
merie, was a bad one. We had to get
our passes from him. We left our pass
ports in his office and he gave us per
mission to stay a week, ten "days, two
jweeks. as the case might be, until we
sold our milk or brandy or whatever it
jvas. Sometimes we had to pay, some
times not.
"It Cherchoff sized us up as easy, it
went badly with us. otherwise we got
off with only a small squeeze. Just the
ilay before the evacuation commenced
Cherchoff charged two Greeks 5500
apiece for a two weeks' pormit and
then cleared out at midnight, leaving
the men without their passes.
Boast of Drunken Man.
"There was another fellow in the
commissary office who gave a dinner
one night. We have been successful,
he boasted In his after-dinner spfsech.
The Japanese are in retreat. Maybe
they will .make a stand at Llao Yang,
.maybe nob I do not think they will. I
say- they are demoralized. Lonjr live
the Czar. Tou see, you said we should
retreat. Look at me. I was frightened
too. I sent my things to the station.
To-day I have brought them all back.
nd ho pointed to his trunks and boxes.
He was very, drunk but he left that
night for the North. It was for that
very purpose he had packed up his
boxes.
"All Suring the week's fighting from
the time the Russians Jlrst heard the
Japanese guns to the west of Mukden
their preparations for flight had been
geing on. Commissary trains trundled
siortfc. Files of men moved slowly oui. of
the cjty, gun teams Uragged the can

restaurants, an 'drank themselves stu
pid. Chinese servants threw their mas
ters Into tnelr carts, lfke so much wood
and started them on their journey
north. Officers and men, senseless with
vodka, were plied In the waiting
trains, when the news came that the
railway had been cut the retreat began
In good earnest. The Russian army was
working north in five columns, the great
mass of Infantry In the center, the men
struggling along the best they could.
Rear Was Demoralized.
"The advance was under fairly good
control, but the men were more and more
demoralized toward the rear. We went
with them, for we still had some goods
in Tic Pass, champagne and brandy and
sugar and i.reserved fruits. The Rus
sians went to the east of the railway
through a hilly country. On cither side
oi tne center column came the comrals
sary wagons laden with all sorts of sup
plies. Outside again were the lines of
guns and ammunition wagons.
"The hospital train was hopelessly
mired with the hurrying, panic-stricken
infantry. On the flanks squadrons of
cavalry were scouting the country, watch
ing for the Japanese.
"Wo had started in the afternoon with
a cart. All about us were men jostling
and pushing In their hurry. Many did
not seem to care at all. They were quite
content to be leaving Mukden to Its
fate. Others were stupid, dazed, deafened
by the roar of battle, grimy with smoke,
yellow with dust. Their eyes were fixed
and staring. Some cursed Kuropatkln.
Among the officers there was crumbling,
Why should they go back? Why should
t.ney oe ordered -to retreat? They wanted
to fight, to fight till the end. But mostly
they did not care, just slouched along the
roaa.
Shelled by the Japanese.
"The Japanese were away off to the
west and shelled us as we went along. If
tney Jiad wished to do so they could have
cut oft the whole army. Why they did
not do It I cannot understand. It only
needed a sudden dash to throw the Rus
sians Into hopeless confusion.
It was very bad as it was. The men
threw away their boots, their heavy over
coats, their mess kettles. The roadside
was littered with discarded equipment of
an sorts. As the columns fled across the
open they spread out In their hurrv.
When they had to pass through a valley
me crowa crushed together, fighting Its
way through the defile, streaming
ini-ougn tne sack alleys of the little vll
lages and along the hillsides.
"Strong men helped their wounded com
panions. Many dropped from fatigue.
There was no room for them In the hos
pital trains. Their comrades had no lit
ters on which to carry them. Thev were
left in the deserted Chinese houses. Most
of the country folk had fled, and only a
iew larracrs stood gaping, watching us
go oy.
As we went farther north It was
more and more every man for himself.
The commissary wagons had been
throwing away cases of soun. tins.
great bags of. bread, provisions of all
sorts, that they might .make greater
nasie. xney lightened their loads to
save the carts. They had no time to
stop and supply the men. The men
would not waste time in going to look
for supplies. They nibbled at the re
mains of what had been issued some
days before or went without anything.
going on hopelessly, doggedly.
3fany Guns Are Abandoned.
Jhe artillerymen abandoned gun
after gun. The Ice was already weak
ened In the smaller streams and the
heavy carriages crashed through as
they slid and bumped across. No one
thought of trying to drag them out
again. The gun teams were hurried on
aim nucnea up somewnere else, or
seized by the men who had been riding
me caissons. Tney rode off leaving
everytning to the enemy, oft'tlmes two
on a horse. Sometimes the rider would
give his mount to a couple of wounded
and lead the beast himself. Many field
pieces were rolled Into the caliches
others tumbled through holes in the
ice.
"It was bitterly cold that nlchL Be
hind us was the glare of the burning
stores ana station. The skv was red
with the flaming. The noise of battle
rolled off to the West and South. We
could see the searchlights flashing to

through the willowed brush, bounding
over and grinding through the low
mud walls, tearing the stockades of
Chinese corn about the farmhouses.
Met by Icy "Wind.
"Dawn came chill and gray. Still we
kept on. The wind blew down on us
from the northwest. When the sun
rose it was orange through the dust
haze. As the day wore on, the wind
came stronger and stronger, buffeting
us as we lowered our heads and tried
to face the blast. Mon fought for places
behind the wagons, that they might bo
a little sheltered. They stopped to rest
in the lee of the low Chinese huts.
Some of them dozed off as they stood
there and sank to the ground, ne-er to
waken again.
"Covered with dust, red-eyed, we finally
reached Tic Pass. Our cart was gone.
We had lcrt it far behind. We had had
no sleep, hardly any food, or drink, but
still there was no rest. Here there were
only a few Russians, the fringe of the
retreat. Most of the army paswd to the
cast. Some regiments came hurrying
through.
"Tie Pas? had been a groat place be
fore: music, women, lots of drink and
many traders. Now It was all upside
down. The women had all gone long be
fore. The Greeks and Poles who remained
were in fear of their lives. The retreating
soldiers looted all the shops and sold the
stuff to their comrades. What they could
not dispose of they threw Into the street.
They set firo to the storehouses, great
piles of hay and fodder. The ruffians
among them robbed rlsht and left, and
no one had time or inclination to prevent
them. r
Cossack 3Iurdcrcrs Shot Down.
"Only once did I sec any evidence of au
thority. A party of Cossacks, in a side
street, found a Chinese beggar who they
thought was a Japan ere spy. They set
upon him and yanked at his pigtail till
It came off. Then they tried to carry
him away. The man clutched the spokes
of a passing cart. He refused to let go
his grin.
"The Russians tore his clothes from
his back in their efforts to drag him off.
He would not let go. They drew their
pwords and hacked his hands off at the
wrists. The man turned upon them, kick
ing and biting, waving bis arm stumps.
He seized a Cossack's hand in his teeth
and bit the fingers off.
"Crazed with the pain, the Russian drew
his eword with his left hand and stabbed
the Chinaman. A companion slashed at
him from the other side and nearly sev
ered his head from the body. A third
man finished tho work half done, and
the body was dragged to the company's
headquarters. The Russian commander
stood the blood-stained soldiers In the
yard and shot them down for killing the
Chinaman. Ail rour bodies were left un-
carod- for.
"We did not have any map. We could
only speak a little Chinese, but we de
cided to make for Fakomcn, about 20
miles away, outside the town we met
many soldiers. To the west of Tie Pass
regiments were moving south again. To
the east we could see lines of carts and
long columns of men and guns wearily
going northward.
"All about us. however, guns and sol
diers and horses were going down to meet
the Japanese. Tho men seemed falrlv
fresh. They had not been In the retreat.
They made bo attempt to etop us, and we
did not wait. Wc made due west, follow-

possible, and sia&ssed to set through

body of Joseph Jefferson was today laid
away at the Hay View Cemetery, at
Sandwich.

Intimate friends and a hundred or
more vlllugcrs gathered about the open

Players' Club of New York, and the
Bohemian Club of San Francisco: from
the Old Colony Club of Sandwich, of
which Mr. Jefferson was long the pres
ident; and from well-known actors and
actresses in all parts of the country.
The services opened with the reading
by Dr. Edward A. Horton, of Boston,
chaplain of the State Senate, of Mr.
Jefferson's favorite poem. Tennyson's
"Crossing the Bar." Dr. Horton then re
ferred briefly to the simple life and
kindly deeds of the actor. A prayer
concluded the service, and the casket
was immediately placed in a funeral
carriage preparatory to Its removal to
Bay View Cemetery at Sandwich, a
distance of eight miles.
While the procession was on its way
a public memorial meeting was held
In the Sandwich Town Hall, at which all
the clergymen of the town participated.
At the grave, which had been prepared
In the lot purchased by Charles B. Jef
ferson at the suggestion of his father
two years ago, the flowers which had
been brought from Crow's Nest were
arranged In a way to quite conceal the
caskec from view. Here the services
were brief.
Dr. Horton read the Unitarian burial
service, then withdrawing with the
mourners anJ their friends, leavlncr
cnanes u. Jefferson alone for a time
with the dead.

PORTLAND. .Or., April SO. (To the llur.)
Tfte rtrlke In Chicago Is assuming glg&ntis
proportions that are likely to txcome far-reach- '
Ing in effect and disastrous In mulls. The
loss both to capital and labor la bound to
be very Cieat, and no doubt lives will be '
lost before the matter Is MtisfactoHly settled.
Hesaes many innocent people are sure to Mif
fer. It U very unfortunate for the public
at large that such a bitter feeling should ever
manifest Itself between capital and labor. Cap
ital and labor should be Indlssolubly bound
together by the ties of friendship and mutual
interest. If- the fight which l now on In Chi
cago If fought to finish, a? la threatened,
labor is bound to lose. Conditions are auch
that It cannot terminate otherwise. If thoie
engaged In the strike were simply to quit work
and return peaceably to their homed they
would lose the fight, because their places
would eventually all be filled by men brought
In from other places without causing any
very great Inconvenience to the general pub
lic And. upon the other hand. If they In
timidate or lay violent bands upon thoe who
stand ready to take their places, they will be
checked In this. If necessary, by Kederal
troops, because such action Is an open viola
tion f the laws cf our land. So. on what
grounds can they hope to win? The Consti
tution of the United States grants to every
cltlrcn certain right and privileges; and no
man can abridge the privileges or Immunities
of another without overstepping his rights
granted by the Constitution. There I's just
and equitable solution to every question In
dispute, but who In to e&y nhat Is just and
equitable? There is never an effect without
a cause. So there must be a caiue for the
present difficulty. But before It Is potslfale
to offer a solution or to sar what wouM h
a fair and-Just settlement. It la necessary first
to know to what extent each tide Is respon
sible for the cause of trouble. How can this
be known? Any statement coming from cither
side will be denied by the other. Th nw-
cnt trouble will m time be settled and peace
riii again reign. Jiut the v.riiUu.
problem will still remain unsolved.

SHIP TO FLY AT MR
Toledo Aeronaut Is Working on
Designs of His Own.
MACHINE WILL BE FAST
Roy Knabenshuc Hays He AVI11 Be
Able to Travel Twice as Fast
as In the California
Arrow.
TOLEDO. O.. April 3tf.-(Special.)-Roy
Knabcnshue, the famous Toledo aeronaut,
who has mado a series of successful air
ship flights with the California Arrow. Is
now at work on a new ship in Toledo,
which he expects to have ready for a
trial trip within a short time. Following
that a series of exhibitions will be given
In this city and vicinity, and If satisfac
tory arrangements can be made a flight
will be had at the lewis and Clark Ex
position, at Portland.
Already Mr. Knabenshue has the en
gine and other parts of the new ship un
der way. The engine -to be used is of his
own design, and when completed will
weigh but 60 - pounds, and will develop
eight-horsepower. The cylinders of a well
tried pattern have been purchased out
right, but the other parts of the engine
will be constructed after plans drawn by
Knabenshue himself.
The engine Is to be fitted with a 10-foot
propeller, which will be turned at a speed
of SS0 revolutions per minute. This is
much faster than the speed of the Arrow
propeller, which was an It- foot fan turned
ISO times per minute by a -borsepower
engine.
The new airship will offer CO square feet
less resistance to the wind than did the
Arrow, and with the decreased resistance
and increased speed of the propeller, Kna
benshue confidently expects to drive his
new ship at twice the speed of the old.
With the Arrow under favorable .condi
tions, he was able to go forward at the
rate of 15 to 25 miles per hour.
The airship will be fitted with an elon
gated envelope, with a capacity for S000
cubic feet of gas. suspended over "a trian
gular framework, similar to that used In
the construction of the Arrow. The frame
will be much lighter than any heretofore
used, and will weigh but 25 pounds. An
equilateral triangular framework Is used

successful flight at St. Louis prominent
business men of Toledo opened negotia
tions, asking him to come to this city and
construct a new airship, promising him
all the necessary capital. At the time, not

been trying to make satisfactory arrangc

made a trip to New York to see what
