This Man Saw The Red Coats and Red Shirts Clash

BALLARAT, Friday. — Mr.

John Cooney, 89, who saw the battle of Eureka Stockade, has died at his residence, Eureka street.

Mr. Cooney came to Ballarat as a lad of 17, and watched with breathless interest the struggle be-tween the Government troops and Peter Lalor's men.

For many years he was a well known teacher of national dancing, and in later years his services were in great request as an adjudicator.
