SHOOTING FATALITY.
By Telegraph—Press Association. Dunedin, last night.
An inquest was held on the body of the unknown man who shot himself in Sussex Hotel by a pea rifle which he bought on tho preceding day. The evidence showed that the man had not been drinking to any oxtent, and ho appeared quite rational. It was stated by the police that a country resident had identified tho body as that of George Mclndoe, a farmer of Wairura, near Clinton. The jury returned a verdict of death from a gunshot wound self-inflicted, but that there was not sufficient evidence to show whether it was intentional or accidental.
