THE QUEENSLAND SHEARERS.
SITUATION WORSE,
A MYSTERIOUS PLOT.
BKISSASE, March 25,
A FORCE of mounted infantry and troopers effected the arrest of fifteen shearers, including several members of the executive. One of the latter tried to get rid of a number of papers by throwing them into a crowd of Unionists when arrested. The troopers drove the mob back with their swords, and recovered the documents, which it is understood are of the utmost public importance. They are said to incriminate many persons, and reveal a plot of a sensational character.
The situation is increasing m seriousness, and Unionists are flocking from all parts towards Barcaldine. Colonel French proceeds west immediately with reinforcements.
