    The Evening Mail. Fremantle. 14th February 1910. Considerable regret was expressed in the city this morning when the news was received that Bernard Leix, proprietor of the Olympic Gardens, Geraldton, had been shot in the breast during a disturbance at the Shamrock Hotel, Geraldton on Friday. From the meagre facts available it appears that Mr. Leix, in company with a few friends was having supper in the kitchen of the hotel, when a Malay cook named Thomas Williams entered, swept the contents of the supper table to the ground, and fired at Mr. Leix. Bernard survived the assault. Bernard Andrew Leix was born in 1871 in Sydney, Australia to Julius Ludwig Alois Leix (1838 - 1877) and Alice (Lee) Leix Burbidge (1846 - 1916) and he had siblings Amy, George, Julius Ludwig Alois Leix and Herman and half-siblings Florence and Dot. He married Elsie Leix, who was born in 1888 and whose maiden name was Rowan, in 1910 in Western Australia and they had daughters Alice Hope Leix, who was born in 1912, and Bernice Cox, who was born in 1914.
