Mrs. T. T. Moore's Nephew Shot.
Wilfred Willis, the youngest son of Mr. Charles A. Willis, druggist, Aurora, was accidentally shot Saturday afternoon by Austin Radcliffe, only son of Mr. D. Radcliffe, manager of the Ontario Bank. The boys, who are about 14 years old, had been out in the bush hunting during the afternoon with small rifles, and were returning home about 5 o'clock. Young Radcliffe fired his rifle at a bird; just at the moment of firing, young Willis stepped in front of the gun, receiving the charge in his forehead. He died about six hours after the accident. He was a nephew of Mrs. T. T. Moore. Mrs. Moore and Miss Moore attended the funeral on Monday.
