Kenneally Early Years Modern authors See other events of the day Fitzpatrick Incident 15/04/1878 The story of the Fitzpatrick incident was not really a big story in the city, although the details would be told later, particularly in the aftermath of the Glenrowan Siege Murders at Stringy Bark Creek in the Wombat Rangers 26/10/1878 Sebastopol Cavalcade 7/11/1878 Euroa Robbery 10/12/1878 Jerilderie Robbery 10/2/1879 Autum 1879 Hare replaced by Nicolson 6/7/1879 Spring 1879 Early 1880 Nicolson replaced by Hare 2/6/1880 Glenrowan Siege 28/6/1880

The siege started early in the morning and the Herald ran with the story like a modern day television or radio station like a big fast breaking breaking story. The Herald did not have a correspondent on the special train but they had access to the telegraph. The story grew as the telegraph messages were collected from local journalists, the police and many other sources. Problems of broken telegraph wires, congested wires and a lack of telegraph operators were all over come to give the outside world the first detailed news of the extraordinary events that were taking place at Glenrowan. The Herald also captured the excitement of the crowds around its office eager for the latest news and its attempt to produce additional editions to meet the demand.
