Mob lynch Confessed Killer as Sheriff Reports Chaos
A mob of about 100 men marching in wearing something descended on a jail and overpowered a guard, assaulting the confessed killer.

Additionally a probate notice in Washington County calls for hearing a will of Daniel Graber dated 1922 on October 7 1930 at the district court.
