Suicide at Meekatharra — A man named Richard Harper committed suicide in a most determined manner at Meekatharra, on Saturday, 10th inst. He had been camping in an empty house at the northern end of the main street. Early that morning the occupants of a bouse a little distance away heard an explosion at the empty house but attached no importance to it. Later, a man went to the house to get some water and was horrified to see on the back verandah the dead body of Harper, with his head blown completely off. Information was sent to the police station, and Dr. Hill and Police Sergeant McDonald went to the house. They found the body as described. There was a piece of fuse near his feet, and it was thought he had used dynamite to end his life. Tho charge was a powerful one as considerable damage was done to the woodwork of the verandah. At an inquest held subsequently a verdict was returned that the deceased came to bis death by injuries self-inflicted, caused by an explosion. The deceased, who was between 50 and 55 years of age, was well known on the fields, where he was one of the oldest residents. It is supposed that he had been work at the Gnow's Nest mine at Yalgoo, as he had only been in Meekatharra three days. He was a man of peculiar temperament and was often known as " Mad Harper." Nothing is known of any relatives, and it is believed he originally came from England.

Murchison Times and Day Dawn Gazette - 7 February 1919, page 3 - Obituary - MR. W. HILL.
It is with sincere regret that we at the Meekatharra Daily Telegraph report the death of Mr. Walter Hill, which occurred at his camp in Hill Street on Wednesday. The deceased had been subject to fits for many years and apparently had taken one of them on Wednesday and did not recover. Mr. Hill was employed at the Consols and during the week was on the afternoon shift. On Monday, while at work on the surface, he was seized with a fit and in consequence did not work on Tuesday. Noticing the door to the deceased's camp open and not seeing him about outside since about half past one, Mrs. A. Sampey concluded that deceased had had a fit.

When her husband returned from work she informed him of the fact that she had not seen Hill outside since 1.30. Mr. Sampey immediately went across to the camp to see if anything had happened their neighbour and found him lying dead on his bed. He went and brought Mr. J. Boyce to the scene and they decided to immediately acquaint Sergeant McDonald with the facts. Sergeant McDonald and Constable Wreford were soon on the scene and had the body conveyed to the morgue. So far as we know Mr. Hill has no relatives in Australia. He was a native of England and was only 46 years of age. Practically all his time in Australia had been spent on the goldfields of this State, and he was well known in Lennonville, Youanmi. Sandstone and Mount Morgans. He was good living man and was always of a kindly disposition. Deceased was a member of both the Masonic and Orange Orders, having joined them in Mt. Morgans.

A COMPLETE SOMERSAULT - Man Receives Fatal Injuries

On Tuesday afternoon, Frank Kirwan, an employee of the Meekatharra Road Board, received fatal injuries when the motor truck he was driving somersaulted nine miles from Meekatharra on the Belele road. An examination by the doctor revealed that death was due to a fractured skull. After lunch Kirwan, accompanied by Tom Scott, left for Gascoyne Junction where he was to pick up a mate to join him in road repair work. The first news of the mishap was brought by Cecil Lane who was coming to Meekatharra. The police made investigations and concluded that the wheels of the truck locked when rounding a bend, causing the vehicle to turn a complete somersault in about 25 yards and come to rest facing the road.
Apparently, Kirwan was conscious, as he unrolled his swag and laid down, where he was found dead. Scott, who was rendered unconscious, was awakened by Lane. The body of the dead man was conveyed to the morgue. The truck was considerably damaged, and extensive repairs will be necessary before it is again placed in commission. The deceased, who was in charge of the "flying gang" recently inaugurated by the Road Board to maintain roads in passable order, had obtained permission to bring his mate, 'Kelly" Clancy, with whom he had worked for eight years, from Gascoyne Junction, Kirwan was a conscientious worker and reports on his jobs had been very favourable. Deceased was 56 years of age The funeral took place yesterday morning.
