Interpreter Frevier toured agency ruins and identified numerous victims, while Gov Ramsey reports Sioux bands uniting for a coordinated attack and risk of further flare ups around Fort Ridgley. Meantime Hannibal hosts militia ready to defend, and a mourning reflection on a lost child graces local memory.
