Wild ride recounts pursuit of outlaws and cattle
Five riders including Carter brothers and Billy McPore chase a group of outlaws near Lapstone and Wooloonis, amid steep descents and heavy terrain. After an initial setback, they pursue into open country, guiding a herd and securing nine bullocks before the charge breaks up and legal notes follow about rural banking and gun licensing reforms.
