The Sydney Morning Herald Friday 15th October 1875, TERRIBLE DEATH.--On the 29th. September, a fatal accident happed to a man named James Miller, in the employ of Mr. D. Brady, at Lochiel. The Kapunda Herald states " that Miller, who was about 50 years of age was engaged carting stone from a quarry on a hill-side with a waggon and four horses, and in starting with his load, the unfortunate man leading the near side shaft horse by the head, walking backwards, the shaft struck him on the breast and knocked him down, both wheels passing over his body. A son of Mr. Brady was close by, and ran to his assistance, but the poor fellow was beyond human aid ; he breathed once, but never spoke or moved. He was dead when picked up by his fellow workmen the next minute. His body must have been frightfully crushed, as there were about three tons of stone on the waggon. Mr. M'Namara, J.P., after a careful consideration of the circumstances, considered an inquest unnecessary and gave the customary certificate for burial. The deceased leaves a wife and four children in destitute circumstances."
