It is with regret that we have to chronicle the death of Mr. John. Campbell, the eldest son of J. A. Campbell, the well-known and respected produce dealer at the Mersey. The deceased who was 23 years of age, had been in a decline for some considerable time, and was under the care of Dr. Payne. He died at his parents’ residence, at the Don, early yesterday morning.

A Correspondent writes under date 7th inst. – A very large muster of rifle men, perhaps the largest that has taken place outside Hobart and Launceston, assembled at the Don bridge on Sunday last to follow to their last resting place the remains of the late Mr. John Campbell, late secretary of the Don Rifle Club, and a volunteer under the new act. The intention of having a military funeral was made known to Sergeant Major Rafferty, who, with military promptitude, dispatched messengers, and wrote letters to officers commanding detachment along the Coast, and all responded with promptitude. About 1.40 p.m., upwards of 100 men met their comrades of the Don, and were formed in column of detachment by the instructor. They were then given over to the charge of the Hon. J. H. McCall, M.L.C. Line was formed, and ranks opened, to allow the firing party (under command of Sergeant Henry), and the corpse to pass through. On a signal from the instructor, the bearers, eight in number, entered and brought out the remains of their comrade from his late house. The firing party presented and reversed arms, then preceded the corpse and chief mourners, Captain McCall, in command, following. Then came a very large number of ladies and gentlemen from the district. The whole formed an unusual and imposing procession, extending from the bridge to the cemetery. At the grave-yard the firing party halted and resting on their arms reversed, allowed the cortege to pass. Then arms were reversed, and the party marched to west side of the grave. The Rev. Mr. Collier read the solemn burial service, and delivered an impressive address. The firing of the three volleys in the air followed. The military cortege then reformed and marched to the junction of the Formby and Latrobe roads, preceded by the firing party with their bayonets fixed. Here the riflemen were thanked by Captain McCall for their attendance, and marched off by their respective officers. The following officers were in attendance:- Lieutenant Hawkins (Devonport), Lieutenant Finlayson (Don), Lieutenant Hays (Forth, Lieutenant Twibell (Northdown), Colour Sergeant Crooks (Latrobe). Not the slightest hitch occurred in carrying out the arrangements. The riflemen seemed to understand each gesture of the instructor, who does not use one unnecessary word in giving instructions. Large assemblies on occasions of this kind are generally taken as marks of respect to the living as well as the dead. This young man, lately so full of health and vigour with more than ordinary ability, was undoubtedly respected, and if the large attendance gave a little solace to his relations, those who attended were fully compensated. The deceased was a son of Mr. Angus Campbell, produce merchant, of the Don.

Gored By A Bull
Shocking Devonport Fatality
Ten Year Old Lad The Victim
An inquest was opened at Devonport Court House yesterday afternoon touching the death of a ten-year-old lad, Frederick Campbell, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. Campbell, of Nicholls St., who was so seriously gored by a bull the previous evening that he died during the night.
The bull was tied up to a cherry tree at the residence of Mr. Campbell, who is a milkman, on the Sunday afternoon. The animal had previous to the accident been fed, and how the lad came to meet with the accident is uncertain. Whether he went over to play with the animal or whether he merely walked within range of the tether is not known. He was discovered by the mother, who hearing an unusual sound, went out and saw the lad lying on the ground. It was apparent that one horn had penetrated the unfortunate lad’s head, on the right side, and that the other horn had entered the body near the ribs, penetrating the liver. The horrified mother conveyed the child to the house, and her brother was sent to obtain medical aid. Though terribly injured the boy was able to speak, and recognized his mother, and stated that the bull had hurt him. Dr. J. F. Payne, after arrival, aided the removal of the lad to the Mersey Hospital, where an operation was performed, but the lad passed away before morning.
At the inquest, before Mr. F. M. Stops, P.M., Percy Gordon Smith, labourer, of Forth, deposed that he was an uncle of the deceased. After the accident he took the lad to the hospital. He had seen him about a quarter of an hour before the accident, and afterwards saw the mother bringing him in. Witness went for the doctor. Deceased was brought to the hospital about 7 o’clock. The bull was owned by Mr. Campbell. It was a Jersey, had been very quiet, and could be led about. The deceased was ten years old last September.
Dr. John F. M. Payne gave evidence of having attended the deceased, who had an injury in the head and another in the side. The skull was laid bare, the right ear being partially torn away. There was a bruise on the left shoulder. A bowel was protruding through a rupture in the right side, and the kidney and liver were injured. The lad complained of feeling much pain. An operation was performed that night at the Mersey Hospital, but the lad gradually sank and died.
Sergt. Hynes, who conducted the inquiry for the police, stated that Mrs. Campbell, the mother, was not in a fit state to give evidence, as she was suffering greatly from shock.
The inquiry was accordingly adjourned until Friday next at 2.30 p.m.
