Payroll Outrage Relics Found
SYDNEY, Nov. 30 (Rec. 6 pm). —The police today are searching a cave where a hiker's dog led his master to what are believed to be the relics of the Yanderra payroll outrage of seven years ago The relics consist of a Commonwealth coin bag, another bag, seven rusty skeleton keys, a railway detonator, several pieces of rag with what appear to be bloodstains, and an envelope dated 1941. On December 8. 1941 a railway pay car containing £11,232 for the payment of railway employees between Campelltown and Goulburn, was blown up near Yanderra. 66 miles from Sydney The explosion, which hurled the car 40 feet down an embankment, killed three railwaymen. The cave is 3 J miles from the scene of the tragedy. The police believve that bandits may have hidden in the cave and divided the loot there. A reward of £l5OO offered at the time of the robbery is still unclaimed.
