Has Csv Record Number	1668	[1]
Has Date of First Reporting	1888	[1]
Has Day and Month of Event	May	[1]
Has Description of Event	Depredations by the Blacks. ... The depredators are now camped on Mr. J. A. Metcalfe's selection, about three miles from the upper camp. They have destroyed Mr. McNaughton's humpy situated on the selection, and taken away every scrap of iron. ... The expense and loss of time entailed on Mr. Metcalfe by this raid have been serious. A Chinaman living on the place was terrified out of his wits, and became quite helpless with fear. Mr. Metcalfe was obliged to come into Cairns, engage a white man, buy revolvers, and lose a great deal of time, which might otherwise have been put to good use, as he was waiting at Harvey's Creek for goods which had arrived by the Burdekin.	[1]
Has Entry Id	50913	[1]
Has Label	Attack on property - McNaughton's humpy, Metcalfe's selection, Russell River (May 1888)	[1]

This is an arbitrary location closer to the Russell River ("past") than Buckland's Road.	[1]
Has Location Type	Agricultural Selection	[1]
Has Nature of Event	Attack on stock/property	[1]
Has Notes Comments	The NMP were requested in response to this event: "Mr. Anderson reached Cairns on Monday evening, leaving at 11 o'clock the same night; and when he met Mr. Metcalfe at the Mulgrave Hotel at 1 o'clock yesterday morning Mr. Anderson was accompanied by Sergeant Whelan and his troopers."
