HIS LAST RIDE.
“I’M ALL RICtHT”: DEAD NEXT MOMENT. SYDNEY, July 30,—After being thrown from a horse, Hickson Jones, a lad of .15, living with his father on a banana farm at Mooloo, near Gympic, in Queensland, said ho was all right, and he was not hurt. But he lay where a horse had thrown him on the roadway, unable to rise. A few minutes later he was dead. Jones left on horseback to get some broad a few miles away, and spoke to some girls he knew as he passed them. Soon after the girls looked back, and saw the horse circling round, and the boy lying on the ground. They hurried to his assistance, but he asked them not to send for his father, because he was not hurt, and would soon be all right. But when he tried to rise, ho fell back moaning. He died before ho could be hurried to hospital. There was just one mark on the body—the stamp of a hoof over the boy's heart.
