News was received on Sunday last of the death of Mr. Robert Gray which took place at Charters Tow ers on that morning. Deceased had been at that place for some time past undergoing medical treatment for a skin affection. Mrs. Gray, who recently disposed of the Strand Hotel, had been with him for sever al weeks past. Information receiv ed later stated that deceased had committed suicide by cutting his throat in a bathroom at the Hospital. A message received yesterday morning stated Mr Gray’s body was being brought to Bowen for burial. He leaves a wife and a grown-up family of two sons and two daugh ters to mourn their loss. The late Bob Gray was an old identy of the North and a man of many parts. In his younger days he followed racing and once trained Ralston, Caledonian and Sister Mary for the late Hugh Strickland and rode Caledonian over the hurdles at Townsville, the aged son of Horatio causing a sensation by taking him over the iron fence at Cluden. Caledonian afterwards won an A.J.C. Steeplechase and Ralston the Q.T.C. Australian Cup. Originally Bob hailed from the Downs and at one time was employ ed by the late John Finnie at Dray ton. He opened the first oyster saloon in Bowen at the time the railway was being built and needless to say, being an innovation, it was well patronised. For many years be engaged in net and trap fishing and had a great fancy for marine curios, in fact for cur ios of all descriptions. He was an enthusiastic fowl fancier having a liking for the best of breeds only having been a big Show prize winner. He left Bowen several times but re turned and settled down here again. |
