How Jimmy Governor Was Caught,

The capture of Jimmy Governor, one of the Breeiong outlaws, took place early on Saturday morniog, 20tb ul|, at John VVal lace'a camp, Bobia Creek, near Bilga, eigh teen miles north west of Wingham* On Friday Mr John Wallace was working »b his seleotiOß, Bobin Creek, about one mile and a half from Bobio Post Office, hit re^deace. He had h5» pinner, and at 3.3Q hewenb back and found that ho had been robbed of his tuckor, billy can, and mag. Later, just in the gloaming, he saw a man, who walked leisurely up to a turning,, in the partially-cleared paddock. W&lfiwe wm about seventy yards away, but only having a small pea ri^e would not ri«k a •hob. He baoked quietly away, baing satisfied thai theniao, who be felt sure was one of the outlaws, had nqfc seen him. He went baok home, got'his horse, and, riding to different places, got his party together during the niaht. The party comprised John Wallace, trad John McPberson, from B,obin, Alex Oameroa, from Hatfcings, Tho> Green, Thos Moore, sen, and his three son;. The party was fully armed, and, reaching the paddock *b,oufc three o'oiook in the morning, they at opce looafeS the place where Governor was camping and surrounded the camp. Wal lace, knowing the locality, placed the men, and they waited patiently there till day light. At •bout 4.30 Thomas Green saw Gover nor tarn over, as Jf awakening, and then called on him to surrender* Jimmy sprang op like a kangaroo, soatohed up his rifle, and bounded away. The moment be rose Green fired It is nol known whether the shot took effect. Wallace dashedlafss* him firing as hi »n. From where Jimmy .was to the erwk was about 100 yards and down hill, aodthsrs wa# an njly bank, high and 2 aggta* Ov« ebii Slmmf lf»pt«* with th«

whole party at his haela. He had not time even to life bis rifle to fire a shot. The pursuers all leaped down the bank almost on top of htm. It w»a a ragged decline up th« j other side, and the outlaw went up it like a i dingo. But the pursuers were close at hia heel*, and the pace waa too fast for anyone too fire Gvt ruor then darted into some bru-h, fta<i as soon as the party gob on the edge of the creek th< y all commenced firing at short range. The black only went about fifty yards in the brush when he dropped at the very feet of the party, who had followed in hob haste. Cameron*snatched the rifle out of hia hand, and he was immediately secured. The whole of the run did not occupy more than fire miautee. Half the members of the party were left in charge of the prisoner, whilat two of them went into Wingbam to report th« matter to the police and get medical attendance for the wounded outlaw. Mr Wttllaca waa one of those who stayed with Jimmy Governor while the matter waa faoing reported to the police. For * couple ef hoars the black would sot reply to any thing that waa a»id to him. He lay on the t round moaning. After a while one of them aaked him where his brother Jos waa, He aaid he did nob know. Then after a time he suddenly aaid, "Come here, boyi, and give me your hand. 1 give you credit for catching me. The police could not run down a poddy oalf." Dr Kelly, who examined Jimmy Governor, found several shot wounds from a ahob gun in the small of hit back, also a wound in the" mouth. Five teeth had been shot out of the right lower jaw. He has also a wound on the left buttock. After he had be«n lodged in the lock-up, Dr Kelly made an exhaustive examination, and discovered that there were 45 pellets in bis lefto leg and the email of the back, a couple in the left arm and aide, and several pellets between the shoulder*; These are only fkn <'eep. He told the doctor that he had very little food, except ing honey, for 21 days In conversation, J;mmy said he waa sorry for taking to the bush, as most people had been very kind to him, and especially the Manning people. Ha eaid that! Mrs Muwbey brought her death upon hers-jlf, &s she wa* alwiy* taunt icg Jimmy's wife for mtrryipg an aboriginal. Jimmys clothes were in ahceds.
