MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT
A most respectable man, named Joshua DIEDRIKS, well-known in Graaff-Reinet as a transport rider, met with a sudden death on Monday last. He was riding upon a horse, following a wagon, which was being driven by his son, in the neighbourhood of the Jewish burial ground, where there is a road [covered] on one side by thorn trees. Intending to turn the oxen, he rode on towards the front, passing between the wagon and the thorn trees, when suddenly the horse fell down and DIEDRIKS was thrown the other way, so that the loaded wagon passed over his chest. With one effort he jumped on his hands and knees, while the blood poured from his nose and mouth – the next moment he fell back dead. – G.R. Herald
