MURDER AT DAYFIELD
Harvey Elliott Shot Bead by
his Brother.
TRAGIC ENDING OF A QUARREL
One of the most horrible tragedies
ever perpetrated within the bound-
aries of the County of Huron, was the
shooting of Harvey Elliott by his
brother Frederick, at Bayfield, on
Monday night about. 10 o'clock. The
two young men conducted the Albion
hotel for their mother, widow of the
late Edward. Elliott, who died snore
two years ago, quite suddenly, while
walking through the yard.
Harvey was the older of the two
boys and spent most of his time sailing
on a fishing tug, and during the winter
months hung around home, doing odd
chores, while Fred. remained at home
the year round and manned the
hotel business. Upon the death of the
father, he left Frederiek as manager
of the estate, Harvey, while at !zein,
to act in the capacity of bar -tender.
The relative positions thus occupied
is said to have caused trouble between
the two young • men, Harvey being
jealous of his younger brother, and
that frequent quarrels had arisen in
consequence.
Monday afternoon Harvey Elliott
in company with Louis; Duniart and
Albert"Woods, went to Varna, where
they spent alively time. They re -tarn -
ed to Bayfield about 0.30 o'clock, all
somewhat intoxicated. Woods and
Duinart went to agrocery store to buy
Iseult and cheese for a lunch, while
Aliott went into the hotel. It is st et-
c} among the various versions h
c £ the
tragedy, that Frederick brought Har-
vey to task for his conduct, whereupon
the latter set about to give his brother
a drubbing. They were separated by
their mother and sister, and enjoined
to abide in peace. It is also stated
that Fred, then rushed up -stairs and
got his revolver, threatening ven-
geance. His mother met hint on the
stairs acnei
n
e de Lvatlred to pacify
Er
son, but to no purpose. Ilfreeh
him.
self from her grasp, and,it is said, with
the exclamation : "I'II finish hint ; he's
no good," Fred, rushed out of the front
door onto the platform where Harvey
had gone, and by the tune Mrs. Elliott
and her daughter reached the door,
the fatal and only shot was being fired,
and hi less time than ittakes to say it,
Hervey was shot in the back and lay
coldin death in a pool of blood at their
feet.
For a moment all were stunned, and
then as the lad Fred, realized that
it was a shot from his pistol which had
done the terrible deed be cried out :-
"My God, I have shot my brother I
Somebody shoot me." He then en-
deavoured to get the pistol. which he
had dropped in the excitement, but
the weapon had been seized by
his mother, who thus probably saved
ber son from committing I
s •
g
nunde
Woods and Dumart had returned as
the shot was fired, and in time to see
their comrade fall, a prey to the con-
tents of his brother's revolver. It is
claimed by the younger brother's
friends that the shooting was accident-
al, but others say that there had been
trouble and that the shot that killed
was an intentional and premeditated
one. The murderer was sober, while
the victim was slightly intoxicated.
The murderer was at once arrested,
duly tried by the magistrate and re-
manded to Goderich jail. The tragedy
-vas committed while the prisoner was
in a fit of temper, and he now feels
quite keenly his awful position, and
has completely broken down.
Coroner, Dr- Stanbury, on Tuesday
at one o'clock, empannelted a jury,
who viewed the body at the hotel. An
inquest and post-mortem examination
were about to beheld, when the Come
Crown Attorney wired to have a post-
ponement until Wednesday morning
at 10 o'clock. Harvey was 21 years of
age,while Fred is only 10.
The Elliott's have conducted the
Albion hotel for a great number of
years, and are among the most highly
respected. people in Hayfield, and in
whose family the enactment of such a
tragedy wouldbe one of the last things
dreamt of by anyone who knows
them. The mother and sisters are
prostrated while the wholecommunity
are in a state of turmoil over the
sad affair.

FIRE. -Tile fire which took plicae at
the dockyards Saturday morning was
beyond!!doubt the most disastrous
any that has occurred during the hz
tory of the town. The cause of tl
fire is u
but ut itis
generallybe-
lieved lieved that it originated in the upl1e,
part of the G. T. R. elevator, and hezn
fanned by the heavy wind whic
was blowing at the time, soon got b
yond control. Had the wind bee
blowing from the west or north-west
the t•inze, no human agency could has
saved the town. After the elevator
and grain adjacent thereto had eattgnt,
the flames spread to the lumber yards
of Dynrent & Co. and Rutson & Mc-

the harbour, consisting of a. number of
fishing tugs, the schooner Todinan and
the grain propeller, St. Andrews, were
in great clanger, and the tag Chivas
had to be scnttled and sunk to save
it from the flames. The Todinan also
caught fire and received consitleraable
injury, hut the flashes were subdued
by the exertions of a number of voI-
unteer bucket corps, who, working
from a raft, quenched the flames which
hacl broken out from the side of the
vessel. The G. T. R. elevator, with
35,293 bushels of grain and two grain -
laden cars, were entirely consumed, in
addition to the lumber already men-
tioned, and the damage done consists
in the injury to the docks and the
destrnction of the tracks in connection
with the elevator. The loss will easily
