Was this my Great-Great-Grandfather?

Found this on Trove today:

The article from Page 2 of The Bathurst Free Press and Mining Journal on 22 June 1895 could be about my Great-Great-Grandfather, Patrick Curry (1834-1896),  who was resident in Cowra at the time. I wonder how I can verify this?

The corrected text follows:

Cowra.
