Paul Charles List, who had been in the district for some time, and in recent years had been caretaker at the Dalby Croquet Club lawns, was found dead in his private quarters last night. When deceased was not about Mr. A. G. Obst, manager of the Dalby swimming pool, was asked to locate him. Death had taken place from natural causes some time before. Deceased, who was 49 years of age, was last seen on Tuesday. He came to Dalby from Oakey, but nothing further is known about him. The funeral will take place this afternoon.
