1898 - WARREN.
[From our Correspondents.]

Two more deaths have occurred here, making four since the beginning of the year. Mr. William Brigden, a well-known publican at Cullumburrawang, eighteen miles from Warren, attended the races at Tenandra on New Year's Day, and when riding home his horse collided with a tree, resulting in Brigden being thrown, suffering concussion of the brain. He did not regain consciousness, and died on Friday. The funeral was a large one, and passed through Warren to the local cemetery on Saturday afternoon. Deceased leaves a wife and nine young children to mourn their loss.
