Death of Byrne.
Senior Constable Kelly found a rifle stained with blood on the side of the hill and this led to the supposition being formed that one of the gang had been wounded and had escaped through the forest towards " Morgan's Look out." Just then nine police with Snprentendent Sadler and Dr Hutchinson came from Benalla. Almost immediately after seven policemen under Sergeant Still arrived on horseback from Wangaratta. The alarm had been given there by Trooper Bracken, who caught a horse and rode the ten miles in a surprisingly short space of time The conduct of Bracken, and the promptitude of the Wangaratta police is to be highly commended. Just before their arrival a heavy volley was poux*ed into the hotel by the police.
