cattle when through his horse stumbl

ground. His little girl who was with
him ran to the house for her mother,
but by the time Mrs. Pollard reach
ed her husband he was dead. It
subsequently transpired that the un
fortunate man had broken his neck.
Deceased had formerly been a miner
at Charters Towers, His people being
well known Charters Towers resi
dents. For some years past he has
carried on farming operations on the
Burdekin. His wife was Miss Parker,
daughter of Mrs. H. Cox, of Gains
ford, Ayr. Deceased was a prominent
mason and a man generally respect
ed and liked in the district. His
funeral will leave the Masonic Hall
