FATAL ACCIDENT
Stellenbosch Feb 26 1833
We are sorry to have to announce the death of Mr. Dirk CLOETE Senior of Noottgedacht, near this Town, which occurred this morning at a quarter past five. It appears that, returning home from Church, with one of his daughters, in a cart, the pole broke and he was thrown out, and was dragged along the ground, by which his left leg was frightfully shattered and lacerated. Two ribs were broken and he received several bruises. Symptoms of mortification began to show themselves yesterday, and it was judged necessary to remove the limb, which operation he bore most heroically; but his constitution, from having suffered so severe a shock the day before, and his age (66 years) were so unfavorable that he gradually sunk this morning. We are happy to learn that Miss CLOETE, although also severely bruised, is likely to do well.
