Rifle Causes Death I Of PrcrtOD^Man The fascination of a rifle for a 9- year-old boy Led to the death on Friday of Ivan Corbett, 19, shot through the body when a .22 calibre weapon went oflf in the hand of the young^ster, Osland Haw. Corbett died a ^^w minutes after the slug entered his side just above the hip. Young Haw had been ward- ed once before not to touch the gun. He picked it up from its resting place and was immediately told to put it down. He obeyed, but a few minutes later the temptation proved too strong and he lifed it once more. Corbett was no more than ten feet away when the gun roared. The Haw lad's brother, Kenneth, is employed on the farm of the Mc- Pherson brothers in Proton Township, where the accidental shooting occurr- ed. Corbett was on a trip to inspect his traps, located on the farm pro- perty, when he met up with the Mc- Phersons, Alex, and Walter, cutting wood. Corbett put his gun down and set to work to give them a hand. Then came the gun episode and the stern order to the boy not to play with the rifle. A few minutes after Corbett had turned his back on the lad and set to work cutting wood with the McPher- son brothers, the boy again picked up the gun and touched the trigger. Corbett collapsed into unconscious- ness. Dr. R. W. Lindsay of Dundalk was called and he rushed the distance of four miles only to find Corbett dead. Coroner Dr. Frank Martin of Dun- dalk was notified and upon reporting the aflfair to Chief Coroner Ruther- ford of Owen Sound, decided an in- quest was not necessary. The victim is sarvlved by his par entg, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Corbett f Proton Township; two sisters and one brother, Mrs. John Spanhouse of To- ronto; Mrs. Dan Ritchie of Durham and Roy of Guelph.
