Competition

The Iron Outlaw

Away the horses galloped to the house I had earlier stolen 5 of the

best horses in town from and am now taking them back to the gang

at the house. The next morning the bush police were in town and

looking for us so we rode our horses to the look out and hid there

for a while. When the police got to the house mother was accused

of assaulting an officer but it was only me, Steve, Dan and Joseph.

At the lookout things weren’t so good either. The cave was full of

mice, rats spiders and snakes! We went down to the local farmer

about some supplies but he freaked and went for the police. I told

the gang to gather as much food and other things that we needed.

Then we saw a wanted poster in the mail. It was us! They wanted

us! Dan giggled as it was a pretty good picture of us. I think Dan

was under a lot of pressure that’s why he made jokes, trying to

cheer us up. But it didn’t work, the gang was having a panic attack!

All we could think of was what if they wanted to hang us or shoot

us or maybe poison our drinks and laugh at every awful thing that

came into their heads? We were wanted for killing an officer. It was

pretty hard not to kill one when he was pointing a gun at you! A

£2000 reward was offered for us dead or alive. We headed to a

pub in Glenrowan. We talked about a plan to get rid of the bush

police and how we wanted to grow old and have some grand kids

like the others. But it did not end like that, oh no it was just the

gang against the bush police! The local folk told us that they would

be here in a week or so. We started to make some armour. What

a wonderful sight, the glowing hot iron moulded to perfection. Later

that day after the iron cooled we put on the armour so we were

ready if they did a surprise attack. Well they did, they came under

the cover of night and told us to get out of the pub. The locals left

the pub but we stayed in the pub. Just then one walked in, Dan

shot him then they said to us that they were going to burn down the

pub. They set the pub on fire but Joseph and Steve stayed in the

pub. Dan and I left the pub. “Drop your weapons,” they yelled! “Are

you kidding me!” I yelled back. So the police started to shoot at us

and we shot back. This went on for a while but when I stepped out

to shoot they shot me in the legs, the dirty cheats! Dan had shot

himself because of the pressure. Joseph and Steve composed

themselves, walked on over in a poised manner and begged me

not to die or they would kill me! They stitched me up and I went to

court. I was sentenced to death. The pub was no longer a pub as it

was only ashes now. So before I got hanged all I had to say was “such is life.”
