about 7 o'clock, Harry's grand mother
called to them to get up for breakfast.
; Soon afterwards they were heard play
! ing and scuffling in the room, presently
all noticed heavy fall, which member
of the family accounted for as being
the slamming of door, as the pistol re-
port was not heard no attention was
paid to this however, but as the playing
ceased and everything was still, they
became alarmed, and Mrs. Price, went
up TO the room. As she approached Carr
called ont, Aunt Helen, l have shot
Harry. Upon reaching the room the
little fellow was found lying on the floor,
his brains oozing from a large wound
about an inch back of his right ear.
DIR. Housekeeper was hastily sum
moned, but the case was hopeless and
after being unconscious for several
hours, the lad expired at half past two
o'clock.
Carr ate his breakfast, aud after hid
ing the pistol, left the hous.. At the
time he stated that he did not shoot, but
claimed that Harry shot himself.

formed, went to the scene, and held an
inquest Sunday night, before the follow
ing jury: Messrs Charles w, Simpers,

the trigger was caught, and that he was
fixing i, when it was discharged. The
jury unanimously agreed upon the
following verdict: Harry A. Price
came to his death by a wound from Il
pistol in the hands of Harry Percy Carr,
aud they do further find said shooting
as purely accidental"
Public feeling is against Carr at
North East, and on Wednesday, war-
rant was issued, and he was lodged in
the Elkton Jail. There is no testimony
at present to hold him 80 answer the
charge OF murder, therefor he is now
held for carrying Il concealed weapon.
