IRWIN FAILS TO SURVIVE INJURY: DEATH IS SHOCK
BELOVED COWBOY PASSES AWAY WITHOUT REGAINING CONSCIOUSNESS AFTER ACCIDENT THURSDAY
Floyd Irwin, only son of Charles B. Irwin, died at the Private hospital early yesterday morning following injuries sustained when his horse fell on him. Young Irwin's death came as a shock, in that he was not considered badly hurt. It was stated at the hospital, and from men who witnessed the accident that he would recover, and the news of his death was a distinct surprise.
Floyd was widely known among the foremost performers of Frontier, being one of the finest. He was a trick rider and fancy rope of no small frame, and had won several Frontier trophies at various times. Ever since he was a small boy, he had lead the life typical of the rapidly disappearing cowboy. Not only is he well known in Wyoming, but throughout all the states of the west and southwest, wherever the wide hat of the cowman is still to be seen. He was known to the rest of the boys as "Boots" and "Yump" and enjoyed a wide popularity. He started his frontier fame when still a small boy when he acted as jockey for the Irwin show.
He was married not long ago and is survived by his wife, Mrs. Edith Irwin; his mother and father, C. B. Irwin; and his three sisters, Mrs. Frank Jones, Mrs. Charles Johnson and Miss Gladys Irwin.
Floyd Irwin was born in Kansas, and was 22 years old. The remains will be taken to the Irwin home this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock they will be removed to the Elks' Home where they will lie in state until 2 o'clock, when the funeral services will be held. Rev. L. C. Hills of Denver will have charge of the services.
