DEATH’S SAD ROLL
Mr. Elza Murray
     Mr. Elza Murray, aged about 16 years, son of Mr. George Murray, of Alcova 
Station, went on the river fishing last Thursday in company with several 
others. It appears that a gun had been carried along which was left on the 
opposite side of the river, and young Murray went after it. While returning to 
the party he took the gun by the barrel to push some bushes out of the way, 
when the hammer came in contact with a log and the gun fired, the load entering 
the breast of Mr. Murray making a wound from which he died in a short while. He 
was an excellent and industrious young man, highly esteemed by all who knew 
him. The parents have the sympathies of all our people in their time of grief 
over the tragic death of their precious son.
