June 20, 1919 An accident which might have had more serious results happened on Saturday evening on the road at the South-West corner of the Natimuk show ground. Mr Heinrich BOEHM, eldest son of Mr and Mrs John BOEHM, of Natimuk Lake, who was returning from the football match at Noradjuha, was riding along the road on his hack, when Mr W. MORRISON met him on a motor cycle. Mr BOEHM, it is alleged, pulled his horse off the track, but the iron foot rest of the cycle struck the horse above the fetlock, while the handle must also have struck the same leg, as it was bent upwards. The foot rest was also bent and the lamp broken. The rider of the horse was thrown off, but escaped with a sprained ankle. The rider of the cycle was not hurt. The horse limped to the adjoining fence and on examination it was found that the bone of the leg had been cleanly broken. An order having been obtained from two justices of the peace, the animal was shot. Mr BOEHM had purchased the hack only a fortnight before, and values it at £5.
