Text of Record
“There was a most unpleasant occurrence, the like of which probably never happened before in a Congregation Town. In the morning four fellows, apparently deserters, came into our tavern and store and soon showed their godless and murderous intentions… We sent two of the Brethren to Col. Armstrong to tell him what had happened; they found Capt. Schmidt and his Company in Bethania, and he came at once and took charge of the prisoners.”
