  Constable John WARD was shot and killed at Barneys Reef by Sam POO. POO was the only known Chinese bushranger in Australian history. WARD was the Officer In Charge of the Coonabarabran Police at the time of his death. He was located wounded by a nearby property owner who took the wounded officer to his homestead and nursed him for some hours prior to his death. He was buried on that property at the small village of Birriwa.
