The Perth Gazette and West Australian Times Friday 12 October 1866 p 2At length we are able to report the capture of this redoubtable absconder and his companions Borgue and James, by Police Constable Hayden, a pensioner detached from Mr. Turner's party, named Moore, and four natives. According to a report it appears the tracks of the absconders were first seen by Hayden, in the bush at the back of Mr. Massingham's station 8O miles N. E. of York, and he followed them up and obtained some information from Mr. Turner, and ultimately caught up with them about 1 p.m. on the 29th ultimo, at a place called Boodahalling 170 miles east of York, (computed by Seargent. Kelly) at but not marked upon Mr Hunt's track. The fellows were sleeping separately, the first seen being Borgue, who being awakened by the barking of a dog they had stolen from Mr. Roser made a snatch at a gun lying beside him, when Hayden fired at him and the ball passing through his right arm grazed the right breast and was found inside his shirt and strange enough, quite flattened out. Johns and James made no resistance whatever. They were found to be in possession of the property stolen from Mr. Everetts, and also Mr Rosers gun, and Mr. Dodds revolver. Four hours after their capture at 5 p.m Sergeant Kelly who had left Newcastle (Toodyay) on the 26th. With three white and one native constables, arrived at the place of capture, having been delayed on their way by one of their horses breaking down, the wounded convict was then mounted and with the others the whole party started on their way to York where they arrived on Saturday last. Pursuant to instructions waiting there, Sergeant Kelly obtained a cart in which the men were placed heavily ironed and came on to Perth arriving here by half past eleven on Monday night. Soon afterwards they left for the Convict Establishment at Fremantle arriving on Tuesday at 3 a.m. and the first sight which greeted the eyes of the chain gang on leaving their cells that morning was Johns chained by the neck to the iron bar of a window in the yard. The merit of the capture of these scoundrels is wholly due to the perseverance of Constable Hayden (the capturer of Johns on his previous escape) in following up the tracks he found while out upon other business, although no doubt Sarge. Kelly must soon have overtaken them. From information gained by the police and their own admission it appears the design of Johns and his companions was to surprise the camp of Mr. Hunt. After supplying themselves with such horses and provisions as they required to kill the remainder of Mr. Hunts horses so as to prevent any speedy information being sent into York and then to endeavor to pass through the country into South Australia. http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/25378378?

The West Australian (Perth, WA : 1879 1954) Wednesday 8 February 1922WITH JOHN FORREST OVERLANDING TO ADELAIDE. PC James Kennedy Interviewed (By "Cammers.") Continuing his story, he said: John Forrest did not accompany the party from Perth to Geraldton, but went up the coast on the Centaur, which was afterwards wrecked off Fremantle. We left Geraldton on April 1, and made The Bowes, 30 miles away, the first day, where we had some fun with the pack, horses. All our loading was taken out by two teams to Yuin, and it is 20 miles further out to Poondarra. We had to wait at Yuin for a week for the teams to overtake us, and we started from Poondarra on the 18th, just a month after leaving Perth. Twelve miles out we were overtaken by James Hayden of the police force, who brought us our last mail. http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/28160495?

FULL PARTICULARS The Victorian Express of the 22nd inst, gives full particulars of the death of Charlotte Hayden, third daughter of Mr James Hayden, of Tibradden, who, as mentioned in our columns last Saturday, was struck by lightining at the Greenough on the 20th inst. The deceased had just returned from school with her two cousins, and, as usual, repaired to the kitchen to serve up dinner for herself and schoolmates. Having arranged three plates in order, she removed a saucepan from the fire, and, one hand on the saucepan and a spoon in the other,was in the act of removing the food from the saucepan to the plates when a fearful flash of lightning came, accompanied by a tremendous clap of thunder. The flash and thunder so startled the other occupants of the room, Mrs. Warrener and Miss Warrener, that they made for the door. On Miss Warrener looking round she saw Charlotte Hayden lying flat on her back with her arms laid straight along her side, or as was described to me, " just as if she had been laid out," apparently dead. Efforts were made to restore her to consciousness by Mrs and Miss Warrener, and a messenger. was dispatched for the Rev. J.E.. Harston, who lives near. This gentleman tried his utmost to rouse the poor girl from her comatose state, although he believed her to be dead. Dr. Boyes arrived some time after, his arrival being delayed by his failing to understand the Chinese messenger who was sent for him. The doctor at once pronounced the girl to be dead, and stated his belief that death was instantaneous. The deceased was not at all afraid of lightning, and seemed amused at the other inmates of the house being alarmed at it. Just before the poor girl was killed, she was heard to, say, " ''Tis the thunder that frights, but the lightning that strikes ;" these were her last words. Her cousin, a little girl of nine, was standing quite close to the table along side of her when the fatality occurred, but was not injured. Miss Phyllis Warnener, who was reading a letter in the sitting room when the fatal flash came ,felt a severe shock, her head being thrown violently backwards against the wall. Sydney Mester, a boy of twelve, who was in another room adjoining the kitchen, describes the lightning as coming in at the window and running along the floor. The house contains four rooms, and it is apparent that the. lightning struck the top of the chimney of the front room, displacing, a lot of bricks rushed down the chimney and into every room, and expended itself on the body of the deceased girl. The house was roofed with galvanised iron which no doubt attracted the lightning. The deceased girl was of a bright and cheerful disposition and the life of the school, being ever foremost in enlivening the hour allowed for recreation at the day school. She was moreover a most regular attendant at Sunday school, and will be much missed by her sorrowing companions. Much sympathy is expressed for her parents, brothers and sisters. Mrs Hayden is quite broken down with grief. Mr. Hayden is away in the bush. http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/3132410?

| 506 | Geraldton Guardian Thursday 3 June 1920 FATAL FALL DOWN HOLD. MR. W. PEAD'S DEATH. During the voyage down the coast of the steamer Charon, which reached Fremantle on Friday morning from Singapore, a passenger named William Pead, a returned soldier, aged 56 years, who joined the vessel at Onslow, was found lying unconscious in the ship's hold. On the steamer's arrival at the next port Carnarvon Pead was conveyed to the hospital, where he expired shortly after admission, a post mortem examination disclosing a fractured skull. It seems that, pursuing the usual 'practice, the hatchway had been left open to give air to the cattle carried in the hold, and it is surmised that the unfortunate man fell, a distance of about 20ft through the open hatch. An inquest was opened and adjourned pending the return of tine Charon to Carnarvon. Pead, who comes from an old West Australian familv. was well known throughout the northern part of the State, where he has spent many years, mostly in the cattle industry. He was one of the original Remount Unit which went over to Egypt in. 1915, and returning to Australia, after about twelve months' service in the Land of Pharoah, re-enlisted in the AIF. and saw a good deal of service in France with the 28th Battalion. | Pead, William Alfred (I13)

| 507 | A WELL-KNOWN DROVER. "ERNIE" Dunstell is one of the colourful characters of the district and his activities as drover for Goldsbrough Mort, Ltd.have made him known over a wide area. Born 61 years ago in South Australia (he admits to being "broken mouthed"). Ernie has spent a life-time amongst sheep and cattle and knows his job from A to Z. With his tented cart and his dogs, he is a familiar figure on many roads. He has a widespread reputation as a trainer of dogs and sells a number of broken in dogs and pups in the course of his travels. He breeds kelpies, Border collies, and kelpie-collie crosses, but personally favours the kelpies for his own particular work.It takes a dog that's as hard as nails to stand up to this job, especially in poison country he assured me and I wouldn't take £20 apiece for those two kelpies of mine, although I'm a poor man. | Dunstell, Ernie (I346)

| 508 | An enjoyable day was spent at the home of Mr. and Mrs. O. A. Baumgarten in Mullewa when they celebrated the 55th anniversary of their wedding, which took place at Tumbarumba, New South Wales. Mr. Baumgarten, who is 82 years of age, is one of the few surviving members of that band of pioneers known as the "Canning Expedition" who blazed the trail from North to South when surveying the Canning Stock Route. | Family: Otto Andrew Baumgarten / Clara Walters (F115)

| 509 | AN OLD LOCOMOTIVE To the Editor. Sir,Your Jarrahdale correspondent writing in last weeks West Australian about the old locomotive that did the pioneer work for the Jarrahdale Timber Co. has aroused my interest because I believe it be identical with the engine used, by the Rockingham Timber Co. in the seventies. About the middle of May, 1875, after, an eight months sheep droving trip from Esperance Bay, Drover William Stewart and the writer, then a lad in his teens crossed the timber company line at Rockingham and driving our sheep some miles along the north side of the line we camped for the night. At the time I am writing of the company ran their locomotive and trucks on wooden rails plugged down to the sleepers with wooden spikes, so the result was a most. terrific noise and clatter when the train was in motion. Of the night we camped beside that line and the events that occurred I still have a lively recollection. About 9. o'clock that night we could hear the rumble and clatter of .the train approaching from the bills. Our sheep and pack horses at once became restless and uneasy and as it was a pitch dark night and wild dogs numerous we decided to give our attention to the sheep and let the horses, which were hobbled, take their chance. Well down came the train at about eight miles an hour, making a terrible clatter, with huge search lights a fixed to the engine. The result was that our sheep, which we. kept fairly. under control until they saw the lights, simply went wild with terror and stampeded in small mobs into the. scrub, despite the efforts of the sheep dogs and ourselves to keep them together. How ever we managed to get them back again to camp before midnight, but the horses,we did not find until next day, they having gal loped a long distance in their hobbles. The Museum authorities certainly ought to secure the old locomotive and exhibit it as a relic of the pioneering days of our great timber industry. Yours. etc J. S. DURLACHER. Auburn, York.

| 531 | Bullocky Jack Dear "Non-Com, Further to the droving series, horse-breaking, mules, horses, steers, buck-jumping and camels, there is one man who has not been mentioned yet in your pages. That is Jack Wheelock, better known in this district as "Bullocky Jack." For riding buck-jumpers, mules, horses, steers and camels I have never seen his equal. Harry Faber or Skuthorpe could not give him any points at riding bucking horses. Jack could ride any animal at all. He has just completed droving several thousand sheep from Wydgee station to Pindar, only losing 15 sheep over a distance of 90 miles. That is no mean feat now in the Murchison in very hot and dry conditions with not a skerrick of feed on the way. Dr. Thorn, owner of Wydgee station, says Jack is the best drover he has met in all his experience either with cattle or sheep. Jack also broke in two camel teams for riding and team work and carted 12 tons of wool from Keickallocke station over 100 miles to the railway siding. The brothers Broad think Jack is the daddy of all the camel teamsters, white or Afghan, that they have ever employed carting on their stations. He is a thorough bushman, good rifle shot and tracker and gave valuable assistance to police, tracking for them on a murder case a few years ago in the Murchison district. Jack Wheelock was a digger in the 11th Battalion and saw active service from the landing at Gallipoli with that famous battalion. In France he was wounded five times and collected a D.C.M. and M.M. for bravery in action. He has worked in this district for 40 years droving all kinds of stock. B.B., Mt.

The bride carried a bouquet of maidenhair ferns and daisies and was attended by Miss Monger of Pingelly, who wore pink crepe-de-chine, with hat to match and carried a bouquet of ferns and daisies with pink ribbon. Her gold brooch was the gift of the bridegroom. Mr. W. Clarke, the bride's brother, was best man. The church was decorated by Mrs. Sullivan and other friends and a wedding hymn was played by Mrs. Royal and sung by the choir, a wedding march being also played. .The honeymoon was spent in Perth, the bride travelling in tussore silk with hat to match. Numerous presents were received. | Family: Cecil Gordon Minilya Woolhouse / Ivy Naomi Eveleen Clarke (F8)

| 545 | DEATH OF Mr W. G. Lefroy The sudden death of Mr. William Gerald Lefroy, of Carraraarra, Dandaragan road, Moora. Saturday last, cast a gloom over the wide area in which he had lived, and where his activities had brought him into prominence. In the Midland Junction and Upper Swan districts, in the Nor-West of this State, and of latter year in the Moora district he was widely known and respected for his unobtrusive character, his quiet and gentlemanly demeanor, and his sympathetic nature. Few men in this State could lay claim, by his urbane character and the ill-luck that attended his pioneering work In the Nor-West, to so universal a sympathy at his death. He made no enemies, and his friends were to be found in all parts of the State. The cause of death was heart failure brought about by over excitement in combating a grass fire. that had got beyond control while burning the carcasses of lambs in a paddock near the house. He was seen to stagger and fall and when picked up life was extinct. The deceased gentleman at the time of his death was 68 years of age, and was born in Western Australia. In. his young days he resided in the Upper Swan now known as Herne Hill and took a lively interest in Local Government, being the first Mayor of Midland Junction, and was prominent in all public movements. From there he went to the Nor-West, where he and his brother (Gerald) acquired a station property known as Yanyeareddy, Carnarvon, (he had also other station interests) but after succession of droughts in which heavy loss was sustained he sold out to Mr H. Twitchen who as we all know recently,disposed of this property at a very high figure and retired from pastoral duties. From the Nor-West he settled down at his late residence Carraraarra although his ripe years did not allow his taking any active part in "public matters here, he was always found to be in sympathy with and helpful to any movement of a public character. During his whole life he took a large interest in church work, and for many years was a Church vestryman and warden. He married a Miss Barratt Leonard, of Swan, and the widow and a large family are left to mourn their loss. Two sons (Ted and Kitch) are in partnership in a station property on the Murchison. Josh and Bob recently acquired a property at Namban, near Moora; while two others Bin and Tom are living at Carramarra. Of the daughters there are three married, one to Mr H. Leeds, of the Nor-West and Mrs Riley, wife of the Rev, C. L. Riley, of Perth and Mrs E. M. Riley, wife of Mr Eric Riley, of Quarrel Springs, Moora (the two latter gentlemen being sons of Archbishop Riley, Primate of Perth). There are three other daughters, two on the Murchison, and one at present attending school in Moora. The funeral took place on Sunday last to the Church of England portion of the Cemetery, and was largely attended. The cortege moved from St James Church about 3.30, at the the conclusion of the funeral service conducted by the Rev C L. Riley, assisted by the Rev. F. Sanderson and the Rev. F. W. Gunning, the latter giving a eulogy of the deceased gentleman while associated with him in Church work during the speakers many years: residence in Moora as Rector of St. James. At the graveside the service was conducted by the Rev. C. M. Riley, and the body was laid to rest in the presence of relatives and a large number of friends who mourned the passing of an honored citizen. | Lefroy, William Gerald (I962)
