SHOT DOWN HIS CAPTAIN.
Lieut.. Nancy Under Arrest at Fort
Sheridan for Murder.

Lieut.. Nancy Under Arrest at Fort
Sheridan for Murder.
NEW YORK. Oct. 31.-A special from
Fort Sheridan, ILL.,, says: Capt Alfred He'd
burg of company l, fifteenth infantry, sta
toned here, was shot and killed at o'clock
yesterday afternoon by Lieut.. Nancy,
quartermaster of the same regiment The
tragedy occurred near the cavalry stables
and was witnessed by number of the
cavalrymen, but only one man, Sergeant
Copeland. heard the conversation that pre-
coded it, and he has been ordered to keep
absolute silence until the official investiga-
ton. There was hot dispute. which was
ended by the lieutenant drawing a heavy
Colts revolver and shooting the captain in
the groin.
The wounded man was taken to a hospi-
tai where he died an hour afterward
Lieut. Nancy gave himself up Immediate
ly, and was placed under arrest. -
Capt. Hedburg was a very unpopular of
ficer. He had but few friends. A story is
current at the post that Capt. Hedburg
threatened some time ago to kill Nancy
1t is alleged that recently the captain came
home Unexpectedly and discovered the
lieutenant in very compromising position.
Capt. Hedburg is alleged to have told broth
er officers that he would kill Lieut.. Nancy
on sight.
Capt. Hedburg was fifty-five years old and
a native of Sweden. He served as recruit
ing officer during the closing years of the
war. Lieut.. James A. Nancy is thirty-six
years old. He graduated from West Point
in the class of 1877. He has a fighting
record, and is counted as an excellent SOL
der.
The officer of the day. Cornish. held an
examination at once. Lieut.. Nancy said
The shooting was a result of the trouble
l had with Capt. Hedburg a month ago
over the kalsomining Of his basement, when
he threatened to shoot me. l expected
Capt Hedburg to shoot me IL / did not get
him first and consequently, in self-defense,
/ had to protect myself"
Mrs. Hedburg tainted at the sight Of the
body of her husband. She is now under the
care Of the surgeon.

A CANADIAN STATESMAN DEAD.
Sir John Abbott. Ex.Premier, Expires
After a Surgical Operation.

MONTREAL, Oct. 31.-Sir John Abbott,
ex-Premier of Canada, died at o'clock
last evening. His end was peaceful.
Sir Johns death followed a surgical opera
ton for the removal of cancer of the
bowels which was performed several days
ago. He never rallied and died surrounded
by all the members of his family.
Sir Johns funeral will take place on
Thursday afternoon and his remains will be
inferred in Mount Royal cemetery.
John Joseph Caldwell Abbott was the son
of a clergyman who settled in st. Andrews,
county OF Argenteuil, Quebec, in the early
years of the century. lie was born in 1927,
called to the bar in due time and before
long took leading place in his profession
in Montreal. He soon became known as
an able counsellor ard one of the best
authorities on criminal law in the province
He was the legal adviser Of nearly all the
leading enterprises organized in the me
tropolis of Quebec.
Mr.. Abbott entered public life as men,
Der for Argenteuil in the old Canadian as
sembly in 1859
In 1862 he held office as solicitor general
in the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES admin
istration. He did not, however, take that
leading part in political life that from his
talents would have been supposed.
In 1864 he introduced and fought through
the house the insolvent act, his master
piece of legislation. This measure greatly
added to his reputation as lawyer, and in
1867, upon confederation, Mr.. Abbott was
returned to the house Of commons. Then
followed the Pacific scandal and the de-
feat of the government, in which he shared
But he soon recovered public favor and was
again elected to the house, serving through
the parliament of 1SS3-S7. Subsequently he
was elected to the senate and was made
premier upon the death Of Sir John Nc
Donald, two years ago. After serving
short time he retired because of i'll health,
