Outlaws Raid Euroa Bank and Take Prisoners
Ned Kelly Dan Kelly and allies seize Euroa bank at closing hours. They take hostages including Mrs Scott and children, force clerks to unlock the strong room, gather nearly £2000 plus gold dust and notes, then drive the captives toward Faithfull's Creek after a swift escape. The stash falls short of the expected £10,000 while the group disguises themselves in Gloster's cart and other fashion.
