Bushrangers in Queensland.

The whole of the M&ranoa diairiefc, In Queensland, has been ia armß (says the correspondent of the Melbourne" Afgus) since the reports of the doings of three brothers named Keniff com menced to spreadJ A rumour of the murder of a constable named Boyle, ■tattooed at Upper Warrego, and Mr .Daike, manager of the Carnarvon station, has gained oredenae, ac clay by d&y details of their encounter with the Keniffs were supplemented by fresh discoveries. The latest news confirms. ia the most dreadfal manner possible, the fears which have been felt regard ing the safety of Constable Doyle and Mr Balke, The charred remains of their bodies were found, and the strong |>&rtjr of police who have been scourg ing the district eince the firat report of the outrage was received haa bsen rein forced, though it is expected that the Keniffs, who have taken to the bash, will not be captured without consider able, trouble. The alleged authors of the oat-rage are three brothers—-Patrick, James, and Thomas Keniff. They are kaown to the police as a " bad lot," and have for a Jong time given the authorities great deal of trouble. It was nob till quite recently, however, that they banded together. Horse-stealing is al leged to be their profession, and they have all Berved sentences at various timee. They have only recently been discharged from goal, and a series of station robberies were reported fram

day to clay immediately after their liberation, On March 24 fchey vidted the Merivale station, and stole six horsee, and subsequently they stuck up a teamster, and robbed a Chinaman wboffit they met on tbe road. The calmiuating point of fchair crimes wa« reached on Sunday,-—Both March, •when tbe eaooanter with Mr Daike and Constable Doyle book place. A black tracker named Sam Johnson arrived afe Mitchell on the following iay in a state of terrible excitement, And reported that on Sunday morning Countable Doyl®, Mr Daike, and be were crossing the country, when at a place named Lefchbridge'a Pocket, on Meteor Downs rue, they came across the three brothers Kenniff, for whom several parties of police were searching; The constable and Mr Daike gave chase and captured James Kenniff: Doyle, who was holding Kenniff down on the ground, called oat to Johnson to bring a pair of handcuffs from the pack boras. The tracker went away, and was returning when he b^ard several shots fired, and saw the other two Kea nifia coming towards him, with Colt's revolvers in their hands. He turned and lied, and as he was running away Sh© heard aeveral shots fired, Johnaon eventually came across two stookmen who fere fencing in boggy ground, and one of them went back with him to the §pot» where the encounter took place. All tbe men had disappeared, and only Mr Dalke's horse remained. The eaddle wa» blood-stained, and the tracker, removing it from the horB«, trough! it in to Mitchell in confirm ation of his story.

Half a dozen trackers were at once put on the trail of the fogativeg, and It was hoped that Constable Doyle and Mr Dulke had only been wounded, and bad gone to th« nearest wafcerhole to bathe their wounds, and wait until they had recovered sufficient strength to get back along the road. Forty police arrived daring the succeeding days, bat, as no trace o! either of the men wag found, the fear that they bad been murdered began to to be entertained. On Friday, 4fsh ins^ tha scane of the affray was carefully gone over, when it was discovered that pools of blood bad been burned over, although no traces of bodies were found. Constable Doyle's spars were lying close to one of the fireß. It was reported by a stock man that he had seen smoke arising from a large fire in this neighbour hood, but that he wag afraid to g> near ibe Bpofe The police having received inforraa. tion which ieems to set at. r«Bt all doubts as to the fate ef Doyle and Balko. The constable'a horse was fcrand by a party of police wandering in Iho ranges, about 10 miles from the icene o! tha encounter. Ifc was mak ing for the police Btation afe Upper Warrega, and hid probably been turned adrift, or had escaped Borne dayo ago. Two pack bags were strapped across the saddle, and- on opening them the police ware horrified to fiod th«fc they contained charred hnman remains. They were illei with char coal, charred bones, buttons, and teeth. It is supposed thai; the Kenaiffa mur dered their victims and roasted their bodies on the spot, afterwards placing the bnrnt remains in bags, in the hops of findicg a place to dispose of them whs re they would not be likely to be joindi 111 is Barmised that the bush rangers intended taking the horse away, but that it became frightened and made off towards its stable with its gruesome burden. .
