Mr.McDonald was so badly wounded that he died shortly afterwards, but Mr.Dobbie miraculously escaped injury.
As the skirmish lines moved onward the woods were thoroughly searched, and quite a number of Fenian stragglers were discovered in hiding and taken prisoners.

During the time the drag-net of skirmishers was spread about fifty Fenians were gathered in.
At the home of "Major" Canty (a B.& L.H.railway section foreman who held a commission in the Fenian army) several prisoners were taken, among them being Rev.John McMahon (a Catholic priest) and two wounded Fenians named Whalen and Kiely.

In the barn adjoining Canty's house was stretched the body of Lieut.

Edward K.Lonergan, of the 7th Irish Republican Regiment, of Buffalo.
