Sitar D,:AD.-A ease of shooting occur. red about 8 miles east of Ganauoque, Ont., on Friday, itlaruh 24, - by wluob Joint Fltzsimnuuts lost his life. The ownership of a house and small piece of land in the locality mentioned and near the St. Lawrence River was in dispute, Fitzsimmons elaluned it by right of poor• chase from all the heirs but one, and Mrs. Joles claimed it as the heir whose interest had 1101 been pnrehased. Throe weeks ago Mra, Jolts and family moved into the house and tools possession of the property, which was previous to that time unoccupied. They lived there un- disturbed for two weeks, when one night John Fitzsimtnoue and three of his sons appeared at the house and forcibly eject- ed the Joles' family, throwing their effete out on the road. There was con. siderable resistance, and the affray was the cause of several charges for assault, oto„ at the police court at Ganauoque. The oases were tried at Gananoque on Monday and Tuesday last, when the Police Magistrate reserved his decision tilt Thursday, Maroh 23.

Wbether this decision was taken as upholding Mrs. Doles' right to the property or not, is not known ; but Friday forenoon she and her 1 husband took their effects back to the house with the intention of moving in again. Charles Shipman is Mrs. Joles' father, and his story is that he happened to he passing the plaoe when his daughter oral son•in-law reached there with their things. They called him to assist them in unloading, and he went over to the house. Just as they stopped at the door the door was pulled open front the inside and John Fitzsimmons appeared in the door- way and forbade them entering. Shipman attempted to parley with hitn and at- tempted to go in the house. Fitzsim- mons then, according to Shipman's story fired several times with his revolver and then beat Shipman unmercifully over the head with it. Shipman retreated and Fitzsimmons retired to an inner room and closed the inside door. At Chia time Shipman's son, who had been hunting ducks, came along with his gun, loaded with duck shot. Shipman tools the gun and, going to the door, called out that he was not afraid mw, as he could shoot, too, He pointed the gun at the inside door expecting Fitzsimmons would open sudclen'y and would be cowed by the sight of the gun. But the door did not open and in the excitement the gun held by Shipman went off, accidentally, as he says, the shot going through the door. Waiting a few minutes and calling to Fitz• simmons, without obtaining an answer they burst open the door and found him lying dead on the floor, the shot having penetrated his chest. Shipman thou tomato Gananoque and surreuded to the Police Magistrate. Shipman was badly out Mont the ]read. His wounds were dressed by Dr. E nory, who probed thein but found no shot.
