It is with deepest regret time that we learn the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. McDougal, sen., had passed away at his parent's residence on Sunday last. The little patient had been a sufferer for some considerable time, being deaf, dumb, blind and paralysed, and his death was not unexpected. The funeral was well attended, and the floral tributes and messages of sympathy were numerous.

MR. HENRY ALLEN.
The decease of Mr. Henry Allen, of Lower Freestone, came upon most people as a genuine surprise. The sad event took place at the residence of his granddaughter, Mrs. Walter Thompson, Wood-street, Warwick, on Sunday, Mr. Allen had been ailing but one short fortnight, from acute dysentery, and during the time of his sickness he was under the care of Dr. Tilley. Deceased was a man of robust constitution notwithstanding that fully the allotted threescore years and ten had passed over his head. From the hour at which the ailment seized him it gradually bore the patient down, Mr. Allen was a colonist of many year's standing. He was a native of Lurgan, county Armagh, Ireland, and came to this colony in the year 1858. Shortly after his arrival he came up to the Darling Downs and obtained employment in one or other of the many duties pertaining to a pastoral holding. When the land at Campbell's Plain was thrown open to agricultural settlement in 1863 Mr. Allen was among those who sought and secured a selection. The deceased was a practical farmer, and thoroughly versed in the science of agriculture. From the time at which he selected his first agricultural plot until the day on which he was seized with the fatal illness—when he came into Warwick to receive medical treatment—Mr. Allen resided at Campbell's Plain. He was a most successful farmer, and had acquired a fair share of the good things of this world. It may here be remarked that in the harvest of six years ago he had the largest wheat yield on the Downs. His agricultural area had extended, and he had ample room in which to bring his sound farming knowledge into play. As a resident and a neighbour Mr. Allen was a man who will be greatly missed. He was kind and generous, and had an ample fund of that best of human attributes—charitableness. Any movement or project for the weal of the community or the betterment of the condition of his fellow men always found a ready helper in Mr. Henry Allen. Of him it can be said that he passed away regretted by all who knew him. His remains were laid to rest on Monday in the cemetery at Swan Creek, whither they were followed by a large cortege of sorrowing friends. The reason of the burial at Swan Creek was due to the fact that he had promised a pre-deceased daughter (Mrs. Davis) that he should request that his remains be interred alongside hers in that cemetery. Allen leaves a widow and five children, all of whom are grown up and in easy circumstances. The surviving children are—William Henry (only son), of Forest Plain; Mrs. W. L. Palmer, Freestone Creek; Mrs. William Smith, Forest Plain ; Mrs. Thomas Griffiths, Forest Plain ; and Mrs. James Smith, Tiaro. The obsequies at the grave were conducted by the Rev. W. Dinning, Minister of the Warwick Wesleyan Church.

PEA RIFLE TRAGEDY.
HOW THE RAVENSHOE LAD LOST HIS LIFE.
(From Our Own Correspondent.)
Ravenshoe; June 5.
A profound gloom was cast over the community on Sunday, writes our Ravenshoe correspondent, when it was learned that a lad named James Davis accidentally shot himself with a pea rifle, the wound proving fatal.
In giving the details, our correspondent says:- Deceased was a fine stamp of Australian youth, aged sixteen years, and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Davis, late of Irvinebank.
lt appears that the lad and his younger brother, aged eleven, together with a youth named Ned Bolton, left home in the morning for the purpose of examining some wallaby snares which the last named had set in the scrub. Before doing so, however, they borrowed an automatic Winchester 22 calibre, and did a little shooting. On the way home, Ned Bolton left his two mates on the road and went into the scrub to look at his traps, leaving the rifle lying on the ground.
"OH, NED. COME QUICK."
While in the scrub the rifle went off and Bolton heard a cry from deceased of "Ned ! Come Quick." On reaching the spot, he found that his mate had accidentally shot himself in the region of the heart. Help was soon procured, but the unfortunate lad expired before reaching home.
The greatest sympathy is extended to Mr. and Mrs. Davis in the irreparable loss of their son under such tragic circumstances.
The deceased lad received his education at the Irvinebank State School, and last year passed the High School examination very successfully from that centre.

Linesman Pinned By Neck
CAIRNS, Sunday. — Attracted by the glare of headlights from the side of an embankment on the Range road, between Caims and Atherton, early on Saturday morning, a motorist discovered the body of William Morris, 41, married, a telegraph linesman.
He had been pinned by the neck between his truck and a log, upon which it had rolled.
Morris left Yungaburra in the truck, intending to visit his wife and four children at Mossman.
The truck apparently skidded on a bend, and, toppling over the embankment, threw Morris out, then pinned him. Death was instantaneous.
To free the body from the truck and timber a winch had to be used.

PINNED UNDER TRUCK.
Man Killed.
CAIRNS. May 21.
Pinned beneath a truck, which he had been driving, and a log on which It had rolled, the body of William Morris, aged about 41, married, telegraph linesman, of Kulara, was found over the embankment of the range road, about a mile from the top gate at midnight. Death is believed to have resulted from asphyxiation and probable fracture of the neck, which was jammed between the truck and the log. Morris was on his way to visit his wife and four children at Mossman at the time. A motorist travelling to the Tableland noticed lights burning down the embankment and discovered the tragedy, which Is believed to have occurred two hours earlier. Evidence suggests that Morris struggled to free himself before he succumbed. The body was taken on Saturday morning to Atherton where a post mortem was conducted.
