Biography

Harry Arnold was brought to the Mt Malcolm Hospital by the Lawler's Coach from Diorite King. He was part of a prospecting party at Wilson's Creek and was proceeding there in a spring cart and two horses. It appears the horses bolted and he was thrown out. He managed to get as far as his mate's camp but was unable to speak. He was considerably cut about the face and nearly all the bones in his face were smashed. He was also suffering from a fracture of the skull. He developed pneumonia and lingered for 10 days before his demise.
