Sixteen American soldiers, guarding military uniforms being manufactured on these premises were overpowered by a raiding party of forty enemy cavalrymen and infantrymen.
In the heroic but hopeless defense of their post, five guards were killed by gunfire, four more wounded, and the others taken prisoner of war, one of whom was Major Francis Murray.
