A T'RAIGIC HAPPENING One of the most tragic things that ever happened in this commun- ity occurred on Saturday afternoon, when Hugh McEwen, a fifteen year old Collegiate boy, was fatally shot while out for a Saturday tramp with a friend, Hugh McE}wen and Gordon Cud - more went out for a tramp Saturday afternoon and on returning between four and five o'clock, they were de- scending from the railway bridge over the Bayfield road, stepping front one abutment to another. It is supposed Hugh's gun, which he was carrying by the bar- rel, ar- re1, butt downward, may have slipped a little and striking on the stone step below the one on which he was standing, discharged, the charge entering his body and trav- elling upward. Gordon did not ac- tually see the accident happen and it eats: only be conjectured, but it is supposed that this must have hap- pened, as the charge entered the abdomen quite low. The unfortunate boy lived until he was brought into the hospital, a good half hour or more, although the doctor who attended hire said he wondered he survived five min- utes, the vital organs having been so seriously injured. Gordon managed to get hint to the side of the road and then ran to Mr. Jackson's tc summon a doc- tor. Returning to the injured boy he found Mr. Frank Whitmore had driven along on his way home from town and together they got him into the buggy and brought him to the hospital, He retained consciousness and spoke to those about him, even tried to help himself in getting into the conveyance and again on reach- ing the hospital. But his injuries were, of so severe a nature that nothing could be done for him. ...The fatality cast a gloom over the whole community as Hugh was a .general' favorite, being of a bright 'and winsome disposition, and so up- set were the pupils in his form in the Collegiate on Monday that they were dismissed for the morning. The cutting off of this young life is keenly felt by the lad's another, who is a widow. Re was the only son of the late Dr. Frederick -Ma- Ewen of Aylmer and Mrs. McEeven of Clinton and is survived by his mother and one young sister, Mar- garet. He was a nephew by • mar- riage of Mr, H. R. Sharp, with whom Mrs. Mr.Ewrnn ,and her chil- dren had for some time made their home. His mother had left Satur day morning on a visit to a friend asst of Toronto but was notified and was able to return the same ev- ening. The remains were taken to Ayl- oner on Tuesday for interment be- side those of .his father. .A short memorial service was held at the ;home of Mrs. Sharp at. ten -thirty, conducted by the Rev. C.- E. Dou- gan, assisted by Rev._A. A. Holmes Rev. ev. J. E. Hogg.

Fitzsimons ilea do 'Aylmer. s saw t toIt was a difficult journey, owing to the fresh fall of snow, and some did not return',until the following day.
