Comment	Fatal Riding Accident On Tuesday last Mr Monaghan, manager of Acacia Downs, brought in a young man named Robert Scholz to the hospital (our Muttaburra correspondent telegraphed yesterday). The horse he was riding had stumbled and fallen, rolling over the unfortunate man. Evidently he sustained internal injuries, for he died last night. He was a native of Melbourne.
