St. Williams Man Shot
Simcoe, July 2 - John Simmons, a farmer, living near St. Williams, is dead as a result of a shot fired from a rifle in the hands of Robert Henry Beecher, when the two engaged in a dispute this afternoon, and Simmons sought to take the rifle from the hands of Beecher, who is a sixteen-year-old boy, and the weapon was discharged, killing Simmons. Beecher was arrested by Constable Murphy, and remanded until july 7. He was brought to simcoe to-night.
The shooting occurred about four o'clock this afternoon on a farm owned by Miss Ida Barr. Beecher and Simmons were engaged in some target practice with a .22 rifle after returning from church, and getting into a hot argument Simmons attempted to take the weapon out of the youth's hands, when it went off during the mix-up. It is understood that Miss Carr was a witness of the quarrel. Dr. Meek, of Port Rowans, will hold a Coroner's inquest. Beecher, who is a Barnardo boy, received a fairly good high school education at Port Rowan.
