Note 2: Reg No 1883 004066 Brisbane Courier 9 Aug 1883 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.
