The Folklore of Western Australia

MARRY ME OR ELSE! -

An English immigrant was working as a farm hand for a local farmer and eventually asked the farmer for permission to marry his daughter. The proposal was rejected and the farm hand then menaced the farmer's daughter with a gun. She managed to talk him out of doing anything silly but he returned later with a stolen rifle and began firing into the farm house. The farmer's daughter returned fire while the farmer went to Southern Cross for help.

Eventually the farm hand gave up and stole a car at gunpoint. On his way back from Southern Cross with a 'posse' the farmer spotted the farm hand driving the stolen vehicle and opened fire killing him instantly.
