Four men raided the tavern by forcing open the front door, demolished the door of the living room, and went to the bedroom door which was nailed shut. The room at this time was not in use. The men knocked out a portion of the door and opened it.
The men armed with tomahawks threatened the keeper and his wife, Brother and Sister Meyer. They stomped the cradle from which the baby had just been lifted. The men uttered life threatening words and hacked into the table where the Meyers were eating. -- portions from the Bag Manuscript, 1776
