Predicate	Value	Ref
Has Description of Event	‘All station buildings were made of split and dressed timber, and large auger holes were bored In the walls to enable firearms to be used In case of a raid — a not unusual experience. Sheep were first put on the property. … Occasionally a shepherd would be killed, and raids upon the blacks by the police and black trackers would follow. The slaughter amongst the blacks at times was out of all proportion to the crime committed. On one occasion my father, with one of the station hands, when looking for horses, rode on to a fairly large camp of blacks, 40 or 50 of whom had been shot a few hours previously.’ (Daily Mercury 30 August 1940, p9)	[1]
