MOTOR-CYCLIST KILLED.

Attempt to Stop Bolting Horses.

KERANG, Thursday - Douglas Arthur Cameron Gruner, aged 18 years, a native of Yorkshire, who came to Australia 12 months ago, was killed to-day. Mr. E. Manuel, farmer, of Bael Bael, brought some produce to Kerang, and when he was harnessing the team to the empty wagon preparatory to returning home, the horses bolted. Gruner, who was passing on a motor-cycle, gave chase with the object of stopping the team. He passed the horses, and jumped from the cycle unaware, apparently, that the animals were so close to him. The team and wagon passed over him, and he died a few minutes later.

Buried at Kerang Cemetery in Kerang, Gannawarra Shire, Victoria, Australia. Plot C/E 10 - 6 - A 044 View Source
