A resident who has been well known in the Charters Towers and Ravenswood district for very many years passed away at Charters Towers on Wednesday morning. She was Mrs. Katherine Matilda Becke, aged 82, who came to North Queensland in the early days, accompanying her husband, who, as a prominent and trusted official, opened the first bank at Charters Towers on behalf of the Bank of Australasia. The bank, which was the first one erected at Charters Towers, was situated at Millchester and from there branches spread to Ravenswood (then a boom town) and eventually to Townsville. Mr. Beck saw service in each of these places in the capacity of manager. A brother of deceased's husband was Mr. Louis Becke, a well known North Queensland author who scored successes with "By Reef and Palm", "The Ebbing of the Tide." and others. Her husband, who had been in retirement, predeceased Mrs. Becke by several years. The family compos es Mrs. Underwood, of Arizona Station, Julia Creek, and Mrs. Tonner of Arlington Downs, Georgetown, only daughters, and one son, Mr. G. Becke who, it is understood, now resides at Ayr. For several years now Mrs. Becke has been residing alternately at Arizona station and at Mrs. Underwood's home, Dalrymple Road, Charters Towers, where she passed away. At the funeral which took place on Anzac afternoon, the Rev Canon J. E. Dale officiated.

Death by Poisoning.— We have received information of the death of Mr. Henry Williams, of Ravenswood, under very painful circumstances. From particulars kindly supplied by Inspector Armstrong it appears that Williams took ill with what was supposed to be cramp in the stomach at midnight on Tuesday last ; Dr. Walker was called in and tried to give relief but without avail, the young fellow dying within four hours of the time he took ill. A post mortem examination was held, and the result was such that the stomach of deceased was taken possession of by the police for the purpose we presume of analysis. It is supposed that death was caused by poisoning, but no susppicion is attached to any one. An inquiry touching the cause of death was commenced yesterday, and was adjourned until Friday, the 25th. Williams was a native of the Hunter River, New South Wales, was brother-in-low of Mr. C. Becke and Mr. H. Barton, and bad for some time past occupied a position in one of the banks at Charters Towers. He was quite a young fellow, not more than twenty-five or twenty-six years of age.

Death of a Warden.
Warden Cusack, of Ravenswood, died from heart disease this morning (our Charters Towers correspondent wired last night). He took some medicine at 2 o'clock, and when his people went to waken him they found him dead.

OBITUARY.
W. G; KELLY CUSACK.
"R. M. Journal."
Widespread regret was expressed on Sunday morning last when it be came known that Warden Cusack had passed peacefully away at his residence, Grant Cottage. Mr Cusack was born on the 31st May, 1841, at Seaford, County Down, Ireland, He served his time with his uncle Mr. George Kelly (who was the County Surveyor of Roscommon), under whom he received his surveyor's certificate. In 1864, whilst quite a young man, he came to Queensland with his brother Michael (afterwards well known in Rockhampton), just at the time when the gold fever was at its height. He went to the Canoona rush, and in the following year he went on to Peak Downs rush with the late Mr. Hurley (original prospector of Hurley's rush) and others as mates. After a time he found his way up to the Star River district, near to Dotswood, where he prospected with the late Mr. Bill Toll and others for some months. In 1867 he returned and settled down in Clermont, where he commenced business as an auctioneer and general commission agent. He held the positions of Town Clerk hon, secretary to the hospital committee, and Peak Downs Jockev Clubs, and was connected with nearly all the public bodies in Clermont. He also edited the "Peak Downs Telegram," then owned by Mr. (now the Honourable) Charles Hardy Buzacott. In Clermont he was married to Miss Simpson, a member of the well known Maryborough family. At one time he temporarily acted as C.P.S. at Clermont, relieving Mr. Stowell, who retired on sick leave. Through the instrumentality of Dr. Benson, then member for Clermont, he was offered the position permanently, but having a more lucrative business privately, he declined to enter the Government service. He came on to Ravenswood in 1871 and was engaged mining for a lime, after which he left for Millchester, where he was appointed editor and manager of "The Northern Advocate", until its amalgamation with the "Towers Herald." Being in indifferent health from sciatica, he started dairy farming at Drumanagan, on the Burdekin. In 1882 he entered the Government service as assistant Mining Registrar at Charters Towers, taking the place of the late Mr. A. C. Haldine (afterwards Warden) on that gentleman's promotion to Maytown. Five months later he was transferred to Ravenswood as Mining Registrar and C.P.S., under the late Hon. John Archibald, then Warden and P.M. In 1887 he was sent to Croydon as Assistant Warden to Warden Towner, and in May of the fallowing year, was appointed ''Warden and P.'M. at Georgetown. In October of the same year (1888), he returned to Ravenswood as Warden and P.M., which position he held at the time of his death. A few years ago he was offered the P.M. and Wardenship of Gympie, but declined, prefering to remain with his old mates, amongst whom he had lived continually for the past 23 years. In 1901, with his wife and youngest daughter he paid a nine months visit to England and Ireland. About three years ago he developed a heart condition and had been in indifferent health ever since. The funeral took place from the Roman Catholic Church on Monday afternoon, and largely attended, the burial service being read by the Rev. Father Weare. Deceased leaves a wife and grown up family of four sons and four daughters, besides a large circle of friends to mourn their loss. The sons are all professional men well known in North Queensland.

THE RAVENSWOOD TRAGEDY.

(From a Correspondent)
In connection , with yesterday's tragedy, it appears that Patrick Finnan, who lives about s mile from town, left his home at 11 o'clock on Thursday morning, and transacted some business in town, leaving his wife and child and his brother-in-law at home.
Mrs. Finnan went for a walk up the creek, taking the child.
About 11- o'clock her brother heard a gun shot, but took no notice of it, however, and when Mr. Finnan came home at mid-day, and there was no sign of hie wife coming back, they went to look for her, and about half a mile up the creek found her body and that of the child. She was lying on her back with a double-barrelled breech loader between her knees, also a forked stick, which she had evidently used to push the trigger. The shot entered behind her ear, and blew off the back of her skull. The child was also shot in the same place. Death must lave been instantaneous in both cases.
For the past week, the unfortunate woman appeared rather strange in her manner, she had been under Dr. Bacot's treatment for some time. The gun she used was one belonging to her husband. It appear no one saw her take it. No reason can be assigned for the rash deed. Mrs. Finnan was quite a young woman, and had been married only a short time. They had only the one child, about 11 months old. Her two brothers lived with them.

John HEDLEFS

Birth:

Hanover, Germany
Death:
28th July 1905
Heidelberg, Germany

A cablegram was received in town on Saturday (says the " Ravenswood Mining Journal") from Mrs. John Hedlefs, informing her family that their father had died the previous day in Heidelberg, Germany. Mr. and Mrs. Hedlefs left Ravenswood on April 20, en route for Berlin. The late Mr. John Hedlefs was a native of Hamburg and with Mrs. Hedlefs came to Ravenswood in 1870, where they have both resided ever since. During his 35 years residence in this district, deceased who was 61 years of age at the time of his death, took up dairying and mining pursuits, giving his attention to the latter when the seasons were too bad to carry on dairying. He leaves a grown up family of eight children, the youngest being 11 years of age, while the eldest two are married. Generally sympathy was felt locally with the Hedlefs family when the news came through intimating the death of their father, and many of our fast diminishing band of old pioneers were truly grieved at the thought of not again seeing their old mate, who intended being absent for six months, but, instead, remained to join the great and silent majority in his native land.

Occupation:

Mr J. Weber, superintendent of the local Ambulance Brigade, received a telephonic communication from the Charters Towers centre shortly after midnight on Monday, requesting him to convey the sad intelligence to Mrs Pountney that her eldest son (Elon) had been fatally injured in the No. 1 shaft of the Brilliant Extended mine at that town (says the Ravenswood 'Mining Journal' of March 24). It appears that at about 11 o'clock on Monday night deceased was working in the face at No. 7 level, when about a ton of stone came down on him, fracturing the pelvis and inflicting severe intestinal injuries. He was promptly removed to the surface and the ambulance conveyed him to the Hospital, but before that institution was reached Pountney had breathed his last. Deceased was well known locally, and the news of his death at the early age of 25 years caused many expressions of sympathy to be extended to his bereaved parent. A sad coincldence to relate is the fact that deceased's father, the late Elon Pountney, was buried 12 months ago yesterday. The remains were brought over from Charters Towers last night, and upon arrival of the train were conveyed to the residence of his mother in Elphinstone-rtreet.

A Very old and respected resident of the town, Mr. Claus. Suhr, passed away at his son's residence, Elliott Street, early on Sunday morning. Deceased retired to bed in his usual health the night previous, but evidently got a bad turn in the morning, for he was found dead in his bed by his daughter-in-law, Mrs. .C. Suhr, at about 1 o'clock. He apparently had not then long expired. Deceased has reached the ripe age of 75 years. Years ago he was the owner of a considerable herd of cattle and carried on a dairying business until he got too old for an active life. He leaves two sons, Claus and John Suhr, and two married daughters, Mrs. J. Stuttard and Mrs. Jackson, and a number of grandchildren, to mourn their loss. The funeral which took place on Monday, afternoon was largely attended.

Miss Eliza Williams, aged 81, died in the district hospital. About a week previously she was engaged ironing clothes with a petrol iron, which was not burning well. She took a bottle of spirits to pour some into the iron, with the result that the flame ignited the contents of the bottle, causing an explosion, which threw blazing spirits over her. Before the flames could be extinguished Mrs. Williams was badly burned on shoulders and back. She was then brought by train to the hospital.
