MRS.
FLAHERTY.
The death
occurred in the Campbell Hospital at an early hour yesterday morning of Mrs.
Bridget Flaherty, widow of the late Mr. P. Flaherty, of Ruthven.
The
deceased, a daughter, of the late Francis Schneider, of South Gundurimba, was born on the Williams River,
but came to Gundurimba as an infant in arms, and had resided on the Richmond for
52 years.
She had seen
the district emerge from, a primeval bush and scrub to its present state of
smiling prosperity, and herself had helped in the pioneering work.
All her life
she was a busy woman, but, with it all, found time to perform many a kindly and
charitable act that will long be borne in memory.
She survived
her husband some nine years. Three sons — Frank (late A.I.F.), Patrick and Edward,
and three daughters — Mrs. G. Gaudron (Codrington), Mrs. C. Fredericks
(Nimbin) and a single girl at home survive. One daughter died in the hospital
last year.
The funeral
takes place today.
Grandson of the above.

Still the Pea Rifle. —
Edward, the 17 years old son of Mr. E. Flaherty, of South Lismore, was
shot through the stomach by the accidental discharge of a pea rifle on Monday
last.
It appears Flaherty and some mates were out shooting when a youth named
Pat Gallagher jumped from one ledge to another, the shock causing the pea rifle
he carried to explode with the result mentioned.
Deceased was a grand-nephew of
Mr. R. Bugden, of Coraki.
