NATIVE BUSHRANGER
THE BACKBLOCKS TERRORISED. SYDNEY, June 2. Efforts by the police to capture Rov Governor have so far proved ineffectual. They discovered a camp in thickly-wooded country in the ranges, but the bird had flown. The social life of the Mundooran district is at a standstill, and the people are afraid to leave their houses, even to attend the pictures, while the dwellers in the bush are in a state of terror, fearing a visit from Governor. June 3. The police tracked Roy Governor to his lair in dense scrub and called on him to surrender. He refused, and invited te police to “Come cn and have a go,” holding his rifle at the “ready.” While the police were endeavouring to surround him he escaped.
