Continuation of the Siege.
At various times during the morning more police arrived, but the bushrangers could not be dislodged. "What was more perplexing still, the prisoners could not be persuaded to leave the building, although the police repeatedly called upon them to come out. At twelve o'clock the people inside, consisting of about thirty men and youths, suddenly rushed out of the front door, carrying their hands aloft. The police told them to advance towards where they were located, but xnauy were so terror-stricken that they ran hither and thither, screaming for mercy. One by one they were called on, and having been minutely searched were despatched to the station, when one of two youths named M'Duliffe came to Superintendent Sadlier, who directed Constable Bracken to arrest them as Kelly sympathisers. Young Eeardon, who with his father had been confined in the hotel, was severely
wounded on the shoulder by a bullet fired from a riiie in the hands of one cf the police. The police after this kept up a constant fire on the place. (Continued on Fourth Page.)
