The Lands Commissioner at Geraldton wired to the Under secretary for Lands to-day as follows:—“Sue Long, a storekeeper on the north branch of the Johnstone River, has handed me a written report, stating that on the 1st instant a mob of about 100 blacks, some armed with rifles, attacked a camp of fourteen Chinamen. The blacks shot one Chinaman dead, carried another away alive, and severely wounded a third. They also stole everything in the camp, including a revolver, rifle, ammunition, and a swag belonging to Mr. Clarke, the prospector.” (Morning Bulletin, 7 December 1886, p6).
