A mob threatens State Attorney General Charles Berry and frees Aymer Moore from the Rockford jail. Moore had led the mob that lynched suspected murderer Oscar Jackson earlier that year (see April 3). Learning that Moore had been freed and Berry threatened, Governor Henry H. Sibley declares Wright County to be in a state of insurrection and calls out three companies of militia to establish order and begin an investigation. He recalls the troops only when three members of the mob, including Moore, are turned over. That October, a Wright County grand jury fails to indict anyone for Jackson's murder, a sorry conclusion to the Wright County War.
