FATAL WAGON ACCIDENT
On Friday morning last Mr. Solomon G. GRAY, of [obscured] Hotel, came to town and reported to Mr. Fieldcornet McMASTER that a Dutch farmer, named William GOUWS, of Hottentots Fontein, [Jamesville], had met his death on the previous night through falling from his wagon. Mr. McMASTER and the Resident Magistrate at once proceeded to the spot, where they found deceased with his skull completely crushed, and a large portion of the brain protruding. It appears from the statement of Mr. N.J. SMITH, who was travelling in company with the deceased, that they passed through Uitenhage on the previous day on their way from Port Elizabeth; GOUWS was much the worse for liquor, and rolled off his wagon underneath one of the wheels, which passed over his head. Death appeared to be instantaneous. The unfortunate man leaves a widow and four children. – Uitenhage Times
