DRAGGED TO DEATH

MAN KILLED BY HORSE

Brisbane. Saturday.

Stanley Emmerton was yarding horses yesterday at his home at Gayndah (about 200 miles north-west of Brisbane), assisted by his wife. Mrs Emmerton went inside for a few minutes and, on returning she was horrified to see her husband entangled by a rope being dragged about the yard at the heels of a horse. She was unable to get near the vicious animal, which eventually jumped the sliprails and galloped more than 200 yards before the body became freed from the rope. Mrs. Emmerton hurried to the spot where her husband lay and found him dead. He had received terrible injuries.
