April 26, 1918 A Tragic Death A gruesome discovery was made on the Dooling-Dooling road, a short distance from Hamilton, early last week by Mr J.A. LEARMONTH. Mr LEARMONTH was on his way to the town when he saw a dark object on the road, and on making an inspection, he found an overturned ford motor car, and a man pinned underneath it. The man proved to be Mr Reinhold HARNATH a well known resident of Croxton East, about 58 years of age. After raising the car a little and satisfying himself that the man was dead, Mr LEARMONTH apprised the police, and Constable MAHONEY proceeded to the spot. The Constable found the body face downward, and the back of the front seat across Mr HARNATH's neck and his right leg pinned under the car. Life was extinct and a pool of blood was under the head, the nose and face being covered with blood and dust. The off front tyre had blown out, and there was a slight incline in the road where the accident occurred. It would appear that the deceased, who was driving alone, had lost control of the car and had turned the vehicle on the lock. It took the united strength of five men aided by lifting jacks, to uplift the machine. From inquiries made by Constable MAHONEY, Mr HARNATH must have been under the car for an hour, as he left his home between 2 and 2.30 o'clock, and was found at 3.30 o'clock, the body not then being quite cold. The deceased was a married man with a family. The late Mr HARNATH was well known in the Vectis East district, his late brother having once possessed the property now owned by Mr O. MAROSKE.
