Shot Jun. 24, 1871 at the Parlor Saloon.

“ …, a mysterious character known as Irvin, was shot and killed by Johnson, later City marshal of Newton. Johnson claimed the killing was an accident. Irvin’s reputation was bad, so the matter was hushed up, Johnson handsomely paying for the victim’s funeral, as in duty bound according to the customs of the West.” (Frontier Times magazine, January 1931.
