Death of Bogus Charley and legal distinctions on guaranty contracts
A Modoc leader Bogus Charley, killer of General Canby, has died of consumption. The Supreme Court rules that a lightning rod damage contract, where payment is guaranteed if lightning burns the building, is a guaranty rather than insurance. On the Kansas border, public opinion urges the President to grant a military escort for colonists to settle government land once Indian title is extinguished by purchase.
