Outlaw Dunn Escapes Captivity Near Dubbo
Wounded outlaw Johnnie Dunn broke from police in Dubbo after lying near death. He escaped through an open window as troopers and a tracker searched the area, with townspeople assembling to aid the pursuit. A local brickmaker Barnes and his helper Smith later found Dunn bedridden under a tree and offered water but declined to transport him toward the Macquarie River.
