THE KELLY GANG.

Latest intelligence about the Kelly s says, that they nave been lately living m a hub at Greta, near where the Kellya' aisters live, and that there is al» most undoubted evidence of their movements towards New South Wales border e»i route, fur Queensland. By this time thoy must be somewhat low m cash, arid it is not improbable that they may again try unvaliant Jerilderio, or one of the many towns lying on the skirts of the two colonies. Mr Nicholson, the Assistant-Commissioner of Police, has imforined the Herald that he has some very important information which he hopes will lead to. a meeting. He says it is beyond doubt that Ned Kelly is well supplied with newspapers, and knows throughly well what is going on, and so has been able to keep out of the way of the black trackers, . of whom he is believed to stand m wholesome dread. The Melbourne correspondent, of the Hamilton Spectator Bays that he lately made inquiries of a gentleman m business m one of the chief townships, m the Kelly country as to the truth of the sympathy statement. " Sympathy !" said the gentleman, "JibeUeye .you 1 We are the Kellys' sympathisers up here. We were never so prosperous m the- district. What between the circulation of, the Kellys' money on the one hand, and the Government money on. the other, everybody's doing well, and business never was so brisk." "Look here," he continued, "we are talking freely, for I kno^r you, and the sentiment all over this district is, " Loug life to the Kellys !'— although, of course, it is , not openly expressed. " The mailman leaving^ Walgett for Nariabri was fired at, and news, has since arrived of the capture of the bushranger. The locality being that supposed to have been chosen by the Kelly gang, they, of course, got credit for the ;outrage, but it turns out to* be another party. .
