DEATH OF LIEUT E. C. SCOTT.

Mrs. Jabez Scott, of Sappey Street, has received the news of the death of her fourth son, Ernest Charles Scott (known as "Joe"), who left West Australia with the Third Light Horse, and who held the rank of first lieutenant. An elder brother, Major J. Scott, is an officer of the same regiment. Lieutenant Scott was shot in the recent fighting at the Dardanelles, and succumbed in hospital. Lieutenant Scott was a nephew of Mr. J. W. Smithies of Burnie and brother to Mrs. A. R Gee. Mrs. Scott has a family of 10, and this is the first break in the domestic circle. The late Lieut. Scott, who was 29 years of age, will be remembered in Launceston athletic circles, principally as a lacrosse player.
