SUICIDE Or PRINCE.
The Natural Son of King oscar, of Sweden,
Kills Himself IN q Church.
Cav. Nordin, young Swede, was found
dead on the sofa back of the pulpit in the
Swedish Lutheran church at Edgewood,
near Chicago, III. Clenched in his hand
was revolver, five chambers of which
were empty. A shot in the right temple
had caused his death. On portable
blackboard back of the pulpit he had
written in Swedish, The dead cry
never" The body was cold, and it is be-
lieved Nordin killed himself early in the
morning, as lights were seen in the build
ing at that time and they were still burn
ing when the corpse was discovered
Nordin had been in this country only a
year, and in Englewood only three months.
He was employed as teacher OF tie Sum.
mer school conna cted with the church, at
salary of s55 dollars month. He was
an accomplished musician and highly edu
Gated. He dismissed school at O'Clock
Wednesday, saying lie was sick, and he
was not seen again until found dead. The
deceased was only 81 years of age, but
from disconnected ana incoherent stories
Of his friends it appears that about his
career there is a great deal Of romance.
Enough is known to show that he was a
veritable prince, the illegtimate son of
Oscar, king of Sweden. He was reared
and educated by princess, the
kings sister, but whether as part
atonement for her brothers sin
or to crafty royal whim is purely
speculative 1t is known that he was
brilliantly educated, but his journey from
the mother country was beset with tribu.
lation. In England the party he was
with became involved in street quarrel,
and, to screen companion, he took his
revolver to load it. He was arrested, held
until all his companions had gone, and
then compelled to give up all his trunks
and clothing. He located in Lakeview,
but met with poor success, and finally
went to Englewood, and there his strug
giles ended. Some papers were found on
the body, which will probably lead to a
solution of the antecedents OF the dead
youth.
