FATAL SHOOTING
Affray in North
Queensland
BRISBANE, Tuesday.
As the result of a shooting affray at Quamby, near Cloncurry, last night, one man is dead and another is in hospital in a critical condition.
Only meagre details have been re-reived by the police, but it appears that Charles Cameron, a school teach-er, shot James Croke after a dispute
at Croke's home.
Cameron then hurried away and later his body was found in his room at the Quamby Hotel. There was a pea rifle near by.
Croke was taken to hospital in a
critical condition.
