Died from Anthrax.

MUTTABURRA, March 29.
Quite a groom was cast over the town last night when it became known that Ernest Goldstiver, a young man of 19, had crossed the Great Divide.
He was working on Gordon’s bore, some 20 miles from here, and it is supposed was bitten by an infectious fly, anthrax setting in, and although he was brought to the hospital he was beyond medical aid. He was a quiet, respected young man, second son of Mr. Goldstiver, an old resident of Muttaburra.
