Yesterday afternoon Mr. H. B. Smith, owner of Aralabrad Station, accompanied by his cousin, Arthur Smith, 16 years of age, was trucking stock at Coolac. Returning home they took a short cut and went across the Murrumbidgee at Mingay Crossing. There was a fresh in the river, and the current was very strong. Mr. H. B. Smith went across the river to see how the current was, instructing his cousin not to follow him until he saw whether it was safe.
The lad, however, put his horse in, and had gone no distance before he became frightened. He endeavoured to pull the horse round. The animal was thrown off his feet, and the lad was shot into the wnter, being drowned almost immediately. The body was recovered this morning. The deceased was a nephew of Mr. W. B. Smith, of Darbalara station, and the son of Mr Arthur Smith. - (Ref- The Sydney Morning Herald (NSW : 1842 - 1954)(about) Previous issue Monday 25 January 1904)
