MYSTERY IS CLEARED UP
ANDREW ANSBERRY ACCIDENTALLY SHOT HIMSELF TWO WEEKS AGO
According to the Chief of Police of Edmonton Where the Accident Occurred
The death of Andrew Ansberry in the wilds of Canada, Friday June 7, was due to blood poisoning resulting from a gunshot wound which he accidentally inflicted himself.
This is the statement made in a letter received by Mr. Ansberry's sister, Mrs. Rose A. Doyle of this city from the chief of police of Edmondton, Can. There has been a great deal of mystery concerning Mr. Ansberry's death as it was only known here that he had died as a result of a shot and it was thought that he might have been murdered. The letter from the Edmondton chief of police clears up all of the mystery.
He explains that Mr. Ansberry was employed as a ferryman at Lac St. Anne and was crossing the narrows by himself after having taken some parties to the other side. Immediately on landing he reached for his shotgun and took hold of it with his left hand. As he pulled the gun toward himself the trigger caught on the side of the ferry boat and the gun exploded, the whole charge going into the unfortunate man's right arm. He was taken to the hospital at Edmondton and was given every possible care and attention from the time of the accident until his death.
