During Judge Bach' term a negro murderer waa lynched at Sun Mlvei1. The Judge endeavored to prevent the lynching and would have been eucceaaful had the aheriff obeyed hla Instructions.

Dr. Deleer had not arrived and Mr. Davis feared he would not be able to get through over the upper route, Mr. Davis told of the alarm felt by some of the residents because of th fear that there would be a shortage of provision, but he himself did not ehare the general feeling of the more pessimists. In hi letter he continue: Well, after being able to make camp and get straightened around, I visited the Healy people.
