DEATH.
HUGHES.—On the 29th July, at Port Douglas,
William Madeley Hughes, only son of John
Hughes, tailor, Bowen.

Morning Bulletin Rockhampton 10 Aug 1883
FATAL ACCIDENT AT PORT DOUGLAS.
The Times says :-Last Sunday afternoon
news arrived in town that Mr. William
Hughes, proprietor of the Carriers Arms Hotel,
situated about twenty-three miles from here,
on the Herberton road, had met with a fatal
accident, about noon that day when out riding.
It appears that Mr. Hughes in company with
his son and another boy were galloping home,
and when about a hundred yards from the
house, deceased went full force against a tree.
He was picked up immediately, but death
was almost instantaneous, as the skull was
crushed in. The tree in question was but a
small sapling, and there is no other tree for a
good distance around. The circumstance of
the accident is explained by the fact that the
galloping caused a cloud of dust on the spot,
and the deceased could not have seen where
he was going to. He leaves a wife and six
children to mourn his loss.
