Our city was thrown into a grand state of turmoil and for a time every other topic was forgotten to give place to this new excitement. About 11:00 Friday morning, April 27th, 1860. A man name Charles Nalle was sent to procure some bread for the Gilbert Family for  whom he was employed as coachman.

He failed to return.
