A FATAL ACCIDENT. A sad accident with a fatal termi nation occurred on Saturday afternoon, in which a boy named John Thomas Gelling, and aged 14 years, met his death. It appears that the lad was employed as a milk cart driver by Mr Herbert Carvolth, whose dairy is situated on Pinnacle Greek, about seven miles from Charters Towers. Mr Carvolth at about 12.30 sent the boy with the cart to Messers Gill and Massam's slaughter yards, a distance of about three miles, the road being a bush track. The boy arrived at the slaughter yards and fulfilled his errand in ob taining some cows feet, and on the return journey took one of the by tracks, which are numerous in the locality, and while driving along, the off wheel of the vehicle struck a stump somewhat over a foot in height, which was partly concealed by a growth of grass and some stunted bush. This occurred, it is surmised, be tween 3 and 4 o'clock in the after noon, but as there was no eye-wit- ness of the occurrence, the track of the cart is the only evidence of the cir cumstances of the accident. The wheel striking the stump had caused the cart to completely cap size, the boy failing to get clear, his body being partly imprisoned in the body of the vehicle. The neighborhood is very lonely, and the track not greatly used, con sequently nothing was known of the accident until a Mrs S. J. Weeks, the wife of a teamster, residing at the Broughton, was driving into town, having travelled by way of the Black Jack. She was driving at about 4 o'clock along another road, but seeing the cart a little distance away, drove over, and found only the head and neck clear of the body of the cart. The boy being quite dead, though the warmth of the body showed that death had not long taken place. The little fellow's chin was resting face downwards on the felloe of the wheel, while the guard rail had pin ned him down, the weight resting on the back of his neck. The shafts of the cart were unbroken, but the horse was lying down evidently injured, and some of the harness had been torn apart. Mrs Weeks, unable to release the body unaided, drove over to Mr John Gurley's selection, which is in the Thomas Carse, immediately went over to the scene of the accident and re moved the body. Meanwhile Mrs Weeks continued her journey into town and reported the matter to the police. Senior-Sergeant Green, and Constables Noakes and Cleary at once went out and ascer tained the facts in connection with the accident and brought the body into the morgue. The Government Medical Officer (Dr. Forrest) held an examination, but could not state exactly the actual cause of death, but said that there are no suspicious circum stances. and the P.M. (Mr Eglinton) gave the necessary order for the burial, which took place on Sunday, a large number of sympathisers attend ing the ceremony. The boy's mother resides on the Pyrites Road with her husband, Mr Henry Braby, the lad's stepfather. |
