Capt, Bdwin Pollock Killed by a Mis- step at the Tnter Ocean Hotel, 8ad Death of an Old and Honored Retired Military Officer, Oheyenne Sun, 24, Captaln Edwin Pollock, late com- manding company E, Ninth infantry regiment at Fort D, A, Rasscll, fell over the bannister of the first flight of stalrs in the Inter-Ocean hotel at 11:30 o’clock Iast night and crushed his skull, from which he dled at 2 o'clock thls morn- Ing. The Captain was goiag to his room, No, 31, in the hotel, and was pre- ceded two steps by Charles Goodsell, night manager of the hotel. At the turn in the bannlster, where the steps parrow, the Captain stopped and looked over at James Jullan, who was passing below, and remarked upon the red in Mr. Julisn's G. A, R. uniform. At that instant he made a misstep and fell baok— ward and headlong over the bannister to the floor, a distance of twelve fest. In the fall he partially etruck Mr. Julian, but not enough to break the force. He struck the back of his head and fractured the skall. The unfortunate gentleman was carried to his room and attended by Drs. May- nard and Taylor. At 2 o'clock this morning he expired, never having re- covered conclousness. Edwin Pollock enlisted in the army for the union from Philadelphia. Dur- ing the war he fought bravely and bril- fantly, and was promoted to the cap- taincy. He was then assigned to the frontier service and in the Ninth infantry came west. He commanded the post at what is now Fort McKinney, then one of great danger. He superintended the building of McKinney. | Afterwards he was detalled as quartermaster general in New Mexico and served ably, He had been In the service altogether 26 years, when recently retired on account of phys- {cal dlsability, There was a romance in thelife of Cap- taln Pollock, which was known to a few of his most intimate friends, If he has bad in late years a failing at times, it may have been attributed to a disappoint- ment of heart which has made many a good man weak and endeavor to drown his sadness. Always a gentleman, an officer of high- est character and fine military qualifica- tions, his death will be mourned by hundreds who knew him to respect and love his estimable and general qualitfes, The officers at Fort D. A, Ruseell will probably make sultable preparations for the obsequies. A BRIEF SKETCH, Oaptaln Pollock was well koown in Omaha, having many frlends and ac- qualntances not only among the milltary men here but among the older residents of thiselty. Some brief mentlon there- fore of his career msy not be amise. He was a man of about 50 years of age, having been born in Harrisburg, Pa, where his relatives still llve. In 1861 he entered the Union army as a private in the twenty-fitth infantry, which position he held until promoted in the service, to the second licutenancy of the ninth infantry where he remained until appointed captain of the ninth in. fantry. At the closs of the war of the rebellion he was ozdered to the Pacific coast and for twenty years has served at various stations +hroughout the west. His career as an Indlan fighter was espec- inlly prolific of thrilling experiences. Latterly, he has been in command of Co, E, Ninth infantry, at Fort D. A, Rus- sell, Cheyenne, A short time ago, some three or four weeks since, he was ordered to report before a retiring bosrd which was sitting in special session in this city. By this body, much against his will, he was placed on the rotired list on account of physical dls- ability. 1t appears that several years ago he was riding through the atrests o Omaba in a buggy, with Dr. Grimes, when he was thrown violently upon the |+ ground, sustalnlng severs Internal in- juries, These were aggravated by an accident of a similar character which he sastained at Fort Russell some time later. Paralysis set in which rendered the fall discharge of his duties {mpogsible. For these reasons, as well as others of a minor nature, the board deemed it best to retire Captatn Pollock. He was a brave and efficient officer, al- ways ready for the full discharge of the duty as:igned to him, His terrible and untimely death will furnieh a theme of re- gret te the miny friends and acqualntan- csa of his western career, OOUNIY PEDAGOGUES.
