The Last of the Bushrangers: An Account of the Capture of the Kelly Gang’The story of the stopping of the Special Train and the final struggle with the outlaws at Glenrowan, on 28 June 1880, is a familiar one. Mr Hare led the rush of police on Jones’s Hotel at Glenrowan, but was shot through the wrist and disabled on the first volley. He directed the attack for some time, but being finally faint from loss of blood, had to leave for Benalla. He received afterwards the congratulations both of His Excellency the Governor and the Chief Secretary. A great deal of dissension amongst the police force followed, and Mr Hare retiring from office, was made a police magistrate in 1882, which position he had since held. While his discretion in connection with the pursuit of the Kelly gang was matter for comment, his personal courage was never once doubted’ (contemporary obituary in ’The Argus’, 11 July 1892).
