HUNTING FATALITY IN CARLETON CO.
Philip Drier Shot by Brother in Mistake for Deer.
East Florenceville, N.B. - Nov. 23 - Philip Drier, 33, of Lockhart's Mill, near Bristol, was shot and instantly killed this morning by his brother, Enock, who mistook him for a deer. The accident happened in the woods at West Glassville shortly after they had picked up the trail of a deer and had separated to follow the animal. At an inquest held to-night at Lockhart's Mill by Coroner Dr. Burton R. Fields the jury rendered a verdict of accidental death. The Drier brothers, Philip and Enoch, set out early this morning in search for deer. Shortly after they entered the woods they sighted an animal and spearated, one going to the right and the other to the left so as to keep the animal between them. After travelling some distance Enoch saw what he thought was a deer about 50 rods away and fired. He was horrified to find that he had shot his brother. The bullet struck Philip on the left side, passing through his left lung and then through the right lung and out the right side. Death was instantaneous. An inquest was held to-night by Coroner Dr. Burton R. Fields of Centreville, with Duncan Rogers as foreman. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death and the coroner issued a burial permit. The deceased is survived by his wife, who was formerly a Miss Harrington. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Drier, also survive, besides a sister and three brothers.
