Another instance of the folly and danger of the reckless and furious riding our youths are so fond of causelessly indulging in is afforded by a fatal accident that happened to a lad aged 18, named Alfred Lefevre, son of Mr. A. Lefevre of Tumut Plains, on Saturday morning last. It appears that he and a companion named Green, When riding together were seized with the desire incident to native youths to have a "spurt." Lefevre's horse took the lead, and whilst his rider was looking triumphantly round at his beaten competitor ran against a bullock with great force. Young Lefevre was thrown violently to the ground, alighting on his head, and the horse also fell and rolled over him. Green having applied for aid, the unfortunate lad was taken to Tumut Plains house, and medical assistance was sent for. Dr. Large was promptly on the spot, but he found Lefevre in a stupor from widen no restoratives could arouse him, and he continued in this state until about 3 o'clock on me following morning, when he expired. I understand Miss Lefevre, sister of the deceased, was to have been married on Monday last, which day, instead, was marked by the funeral of her brother.
