QUEENSLAND. The Queensland National Bank at Cunnamala was stuck up and robbed on Sunday morning by a man Darned Willis. He took £197 from the sife, and when Murphy, a local storekeeper, attempted to help the manager, the robber shot him dead. The bullet glanced off and lodged in Murphy 2* —shoulder. The robber escaped after a severe struggle but the townspeople followed, and caught him after a hard race. He had a splendid horse, which unfortunately for him broke down or he would have escaped.
