Death of Bishop Gibney
u&uui v/i uioifvjj \jwuncy A coble message from Perth, West Australia, to the daily newspapers, under date Juno 23, 'says: The death is reported of Dr. Matthew Gibney, a former Catholic Bishop of Perth, aged 87, who, since 1910, had been living in retirement. His death removes an interesting link with the Kelly Gang of bushrangers. Father Gibney, as he then was, at great personal risk, entered the burning building where the gang was surrounded at Glenrowan, and administered the last rites to those within.
