=========
The police hunt for the Kelly Gang intensified in October 1878. Sergeant Kennedy, with Constables Lonigan, Scanlon and McIntyre, rode out from their base.
On October 25 they camped at Stringy-bark Creek, not knowing it was only a mile from Kelly's camp. Making one of his regular reconnoitres, Ned spotted the police camp and hurried back to raise the alarm believing, rightly or wrongly, that he and Dan would be shot on sight. The next day, Sergeant Kennedy and Scanlon rode out on patrol, leaving Lonigan and McIntyre in camp. The two troopers were relaxing by the campfire when Ned and Dan emerged silently from the bush. They challenged the troopers and ordered them to "bail up". Lonigan jumped to his feet and drew his revolver but Ned shot him dead. McIntyre surrendered immediately. When Kennedy and Scanlon returned to the camp they immediately opened fire. A gunfight followed, with the policemen dodging from tree to tree. Ned, whose shooting was deadly even in the fading light, killed Kennedy and Scanlon but McIntyre managed to escape on Kennedy's horse.
