GRUESOME TRAGEDY
SKELETON FOUND. LONELY DEATH IN THE BUSH. RESULT OF FALL FROM HORSE. (United Press Association—Copyright.) (Received This Day, 9.40 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. One of the most gruesome tragedies in the annals of the bush was revealed when black trackers searching for J. Ezzett, who disappeared from a homestead near Croydon in February, found a heap of scattered bones and torn clothing, which was identified as Ezzett’s. It appears that Ezzett had been chasing bullocks when his saddle girth broke and he was thrown heavily. The horse made off and Ezzett collapsed and died.
ITis bones were picked clean and everything points to dingoes having ravaged the body.
