Indian whose identity is not yet known, in the r. woods about four miles from .Lir- r- ton, early Sunday evening,, and the e Provincial and local policsare still searching for his xnurciereras,1 d So far as the details cotild be learn-, • ed, it appears that young McKay, with, tlaree conipanions lia.d been out walk- ing, during the later afternoon, and about 7 o'clocic, while passing throtish the woods on the farm. of Donald -- Matheson, on the fourth concession of Bruce, they came across a shack which had been built by some In- dians on the Saugeen Indian Reserve. The young men walked towards the sha.cle more out of curiosity than for any, other purpose, and while they were sfill some distance from it, an Indian emerged, bearing a torch -light. They identified the ma.n as an Indian doctor, known as Dr. Crow. The In- dian doctor was followed almost it by another Indian bearing a gun, and this mao deliberately shot at the four. The charge struck young McKay,with the result that he died almost instantly. Indians Fled • When the three other young men saw their companion fail, they asked Doctor Crow to come over with his torch. When the Indian doctor dis- covered what had happened, he re - riled to the shack, and a little later he, and three other Indians, svho had apparently been occupying the shack, left the woods, got into, a motor car and drove away. The Tiverton police, upon being notified, 'went to the scene and had the body reinoved to the local under- taking parlor's, and the coroxier has ordered an inquest. The Provincial police were also called in,b tu up to a late hour to -night they had been unable to get any trace of the fugi- tives. McKay was an unmarried man, and lived on his farm, about two village.anla half miles southeast of thie For some years past it has been the custom for the Indians from. the Southampton district to move this way and establish camps for the making of baskets and other articles of trade, It is believed that the party in question arrived in the fore- noon. So far as can be learned there was no provocation to cause shoot - ng, as the young men were Merely out for a walk, and coming across the hack in the woods they approached t through curiosity alone. 345.
