In early part of August a quarrel took place at Westmorland Point (West. Co.) between two brothers named CARTER on the one side and two named SIDDALL on the other. The dispute arose in regard to cutting grass on the side of the railway track and resulted in a hand to hand fight between the parties. During the scuffle the thumb of Charles CARTER was bitten severely. On Saturday night he died from the effect of the injuries received. An inquest was held Monday by Coroner Bell of Sackville.
