TRAGIC FATE
MAN KILLED IN WILDS BATHURST, Nov. 16. Jack Holder. 28, of Carlyle street, Enfield, a well-known League footballer, met bis death in tragic fashion in the wilds of the Abercrombie Mountains, about 35 miles from Bathurst, late yesterday afternoon.
Holder, with two companions, was prospecting there. He was constructing a hut, when a beam, weighing about three hundredweight, suddenly fell and pinned him to the ground. He received terrible internal injuries. His two mates set out in the darkness and heavy rain to carry the injured man about four miles across the roughest, country to Abercrombie, where the Bathurst ambulance was communicated with.
Holder, however, died before the arrival of the ambulance.
