Last Saturday shortly after noon Dr. McIntosh, cornoner, was summoned to go out into Charlotteville to investigate the death of a married man, William Drewery, who had been found lying, shot through the head.

Deceased formerly lived at Niagara Falls. Some six weeks or two months ago he came to Norfolk to work for Mr. William Davidson, the well-known ex-Cobalter. When Drewery came to Mr. Davidson's he was accompanied by his wife. 

On the day of his death Mr. and Mrs. Davidson came to Simcoe, leaving Drewery and his wife alone on the place. Dr. McIntosh's inquiries elicited the information that after dinner Mrs. Drewery went over to talk to a neighbor, Mrs. Walter Spencer, who lives nearby, and theat while the two women were sitting on the lawn they heard a gun discharged. They, however, paid no special attention to it.

 Shortly afterwards Mrs. Drewery returned home, and having gone into a tent erected near the house, she found her husband on the ground dead. Under his body was a gun, the property of Mr. Davidson. One barrel of the gun had been discharged into the man's head, the top of which was practically shot off.
