== What was Glenmore Run like in the late 1870's ==

A school was set up near the homestead at '''Chestnut South'''

The Glenmore police station was destroyed by fire on 13 February 1872 and £100 reward was offered for any information.

What was the country around Glenmore like ([[The Argus at KellyGang 5/11/1878 (4)|Argus5/11/78]])

'''Lewis'''' station and '''Isard's''' station were near by ([[Royal Commission report day 14 page 8|RC3143]])

== Links to the KellyGang ==

The [[James Quinn|Quinns]] took up Glenmore Run in [[1854-1863 Events|1863]] and Harry [[Harry Power|Power]] was arrested nearby

'''Glenmore police station'''

In 1870 Ass Com [[Nicolson|Nicolson]] organised and formed the Glenmore [[Police|police station]], which he said, if it had been kept up, would have checked if not prevented the '''KellyGang''' outbreak ([[Royal Commission report day 50 page 12|RC16901]])([[Royal Commission report day 37 page 17|RC13346]]). The station was set up following by Insp [[Insp Wliiam Montfort|Montfort]] following Harry [[Harry Power|Power]]'s arrest.([[Royal Commission report day 14 page 9|RC3193]]) see also ([[Royal Commission report day 1 page 19|RC206]])([[Royal Commission report day 14 page 12|RC3239]])([[Royal Commission report day 47 page 14|RC16215]])

Insp Montfort though the station was one of the most important, &quot;To keep down horse and cattle stealing, and the free passage of the criminal class, the Quinns and Kellys and their associates, backwards and forwards from Mansfield.&quot; ([[Royal Commission report day 14 page 9|RC3188]])

Com [[Standish|Standish]] took the opposite view,'It was of very little use that station' ([[Royal Commission report day 1 page 18|RC203]]). The station was closed in late [[1874-1877 Events|1875]] and moved to 3 miles above [[Hedi|Hedi]] station on the orders of Sup Barclay. ([[Royal Commission second Report Part II (page 5)|RC2nd ReportII]])(See also RC3196)

But he also said, 'It was generally known to be a cattle-stealing district for many years.' ([[Royal Commission report day 47 page 14|RC16221]])

Insp [[Insp Wliiam Montfort|Monfort]] considered the closure of the Glenmore police station and the lack of police was the reason for the Kelly outbreak. He said the station was needed, 'To keep down horse and cattle stealing, and the free passage of the criminal class, the Quinns and Kellys and their associates, backwards and forwards from [[Mansfield|Mansfield]]. ([[Royal Commission report day 14 page 9|RC3181]])([[Royal Commission report day 47 page 14|RC16223]])

Const '''McInerney''' was stationed at Glenmore. It would seem that he was not very effective. He died in the Lunatic Asylum. ([[Royal Commission report day 14 page 12|RC3266]])([[Royal Commission report day 47 page 14|RC16223]])

There was a system of horse and cattle stealing carried on uninterruptedly in that district by men from the [[Greta|Greta]] district ([[Royal Commission report day 1 page 19|RC210]])

Sgt [[Steele|Steele]] led a search party hunting the '''KellyGang''' to near Glenmore run soon after the [[Stringy Bark Creek|Stringy Bark]] Murders in [[ev78-10--4Mansfield Murders|November 1878]].([[The Argus at KellyGang 5/11/1878 (4)|Argus5/11/78]]) ([[Royal Commission report day 3 page 1|RC676]])

[[Graves|Graves]] believed that the principal time that the '''KellyGang''' were out they kept in the immediate neighborhood between [[Greta|Greta]] and [[Moyhu|Moyhu]]. Either at Glenmore Station, or on the [[Hedi|Hedi]]. There were always strange horses whenever he went up, or marks of strange horse in paddocks. It was his impression that they were in the district the whole time. ([[Royal Commission report day 45 page 12|RC15507]])

The police stables were burnt down ([[Royal Commission report day 15 page 2|RC3516]])

'''John Lewis's Run'''

On the morning of about 30/11/1878 [[SConst John Kelly|SConst Kelly]] and his search party arrived at '''Lewis's Run''' after spending the night on [[Boggy Creek|Boggy Creek]]. Lewis dried and fed the party before they went off to [[Red Camp Station|Redcamp]] and [[Hedi|Hedi]]. ([[Royal Commission report day 22 page 2|RC7983]])
