SHOT BY HIS BROTHER.
Bluff, January 7
A fatal accident occurred at the Bluff yesterday afternoon. A boy named Wm. Wilson, with two younger brothers, was shooting with a Remington rifle, and when about to aim, his brother Richard, aged six, ran in front and received the bullet in the head. The brother carried him over a mile to their home, through dense scrub and bush. A doctor was immediately sent for, but the boy expired just as the doctor arrived. Much sympathy is expressed here for the boy and his parents. No inquest is deemed necessary.
